Des Moines' own Lua Brewing went all in on this Double Hazy IPA. Malted wheat and flaked oats for that pillowy soft base, Citra in the whirlpool, Citra and Freestyle Manilita in the dry hop, then crowned with a dose of Freestyle Nelson Sauvin Hop Keif because why stop when you're on a roll. Citrus, vanilla, pink grapefruit, mango, and nectarine hitting all at once in the most gloriously over-the-top way possible. This is what happens when two breweries refuse to pump the brakes. Buckle up.

Pours a hazy, butterscotch-gold color, with mid-sized head. Aroma has a pungent, green onion/garlic note upfront, followed by citrus and tropical fruit. Flavors follow, with moderate underlying sweetness. Soft mouthfeel. Moderate hop bitterness in the finish.
