Lushingtons

◎ Appearance

Lushingtons presents a pale golden hue with exceptional clarity and bright translucence. The white head forms readily and clings well to the glass, leaving delicate rings of lacing as you drink. Fine carbonation creates a gentle effervescence throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant citrus—predominantly lime and grapefruit—underscored by ripe tropical stone fruit notes of mango and lychee. Whole-flower Citra and Belma hops deliver a floral edge without aggression, while the Willamette adds a subtle herbal whisper. A delicate creamy undertone suggests gentle malt support beneath the hop-forward character.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with juicy stone-fruit sweetness—mango and a whisper of strawberry—that immediately meets a measured bitterness (60 IBU) with excellent balance. Mid-palate reveals a slight creaminess that rounds the edges without obscuring the hop expression. The citrus character persists cleanly, finishing with a dry, lingering bitter note that invites another sip rather than overwhelming.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium in length with a dry, resinous aftertaste dominated by lime pith and noble hop character. Bitterness retreats gradually, leaving a refreshing, mineral-clean sensation on the palate.
