🌍 United States · IPA · One of 16 IPAs in hopIQ

Welcome to Luna is a Chicago-born IPA from Hop Butcher For The World, one of the Windy City's most celebrated hop-forward breweries. It pours a hazy, golden-amber hue with a pillowy white head that lingers invitingly. The aroma is an aromatic journey of tropical fruit, fresh citrus zest, and delicate floral notes, hinting at a carefully curated hop selection. On the palate, a smooth, medium-bodied mouthfeel delivers waves of juicy stone fruit and bright citrus, balanced by a subtle, bready malt backbone. The bitterness is present but refined, never aggressive. The finish is clean and moderately dry, leaving a pleasant hop resin warmth that beckons another sip. A stellar expression of the modern American IPA.

About IPA

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

What is a IPA?

IPAs are hop-forward ales with 5.5–7.5% ABV and IBU 40–70+. Bold hop aroma — citrus, tropical, resinous — with firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish.

Finding a similar IPA

hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same hoppy, citrusy, peach character as Welcome to Luna will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Welcome to Luna

Serve at 8–11°C
Refrigerate, then rest 2 min

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

Tulip glass
Recommended for this style

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

Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
