“DDH Hazy IPA w/ Luminosa”. Only my third (I think) experience with Luminosa, but I seem to pretty consistently enjoy it. This example is bright and juicy, with notes of sweet stone and tropical fruit as well as citrus flesh. The brewer description indicates it to be “almost completely void of the pine/resinous character” (almost as if this were a good thing???) but I’m detecting some not-unwelcome dank on the back end. Very pleasant overall. (16/20)
This will be my 6,022nd unique Untappd check-in.
