Dry and assertively bitter.
A trim base, a hop-led finish — the classic setup for a hop-forward beer.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Lupuloid IPA
◎ Appearance
Lupuloid presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright translucence. The head forms quickly and clings persistently to the glass walls, leaving distinct lacing with each sip. Carbonation is lively and well-integrated, creating a fine, sustained bead.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with bold tropical stone fruit—ripe mango and pulped peach are immediately apparent. Supporting layers of citrus zest and herbal Edelhopfen character emerge with time in the glass. The Malz base remains restrained and clean, allowing the hop aromatics to dominate without any oxidative or yeasty notes.
◐ Taste
The palate entry is smooth and approachable, with tropical fruit flavors mirroring the aroma—mango and peach sit center-stage. Mid-palate builds measured bitterness and light herbal grip from the three-hop blend, balanced against subtle Malz sweetness that prevents harshness. The finish is dry and crisp without astringency, leaving a clean hoppy aftertaste.
◑ Finish
The finish lingers with a pleasant, moderately long hoppy note and faint peach skin tannin. Refreshing and inviting, encouraging another sip.
