Welcome to Luna
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.

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.
