Extra Premium

Tap to rate

Vibrant fruit aromas and flavours carry this Hazy IPA, a beer the brewery pictures as a ticket out on holiday. It builds on the Lübi Premium recipe, with more strength at 6% ABV and a reworked hop bill of American hops. Barley, wheat and oat malt, hops and yeast make up the beer, brewed in Lübeck's Werftquartier.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Extra Premium

◎ Appearance

Pale golden-yellow with a distinctly hazy, opaque body created by suspension through yeast. A white foam head builds generously and holds with fine retention, clinging to the glass in delicate patterns. The carbonation is moderately lively, evident from gentle bubble streams rising through the clouded beer.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright tropical stone fruit—peach and apricot—layered beneath American hop aromatics of grapefruit zest and light pine resin. A soft grain bed of wheat and oat Malz emerges underneath, offering gentle breadiness and subtle sweetness that grounds the fruit profile without overwhelming it.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and full-bodied, the wheat and oat Malz providing a creamy mouthfeel. Mid-palate develops juicy citrus and stone fruit flavors that persist alongside moderate hop bitterness pitched at 50 IBU—present but restrained, never harsh. The finish trails clean with residual fruit notes and a slight hop dryness.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
