For this rotation of Luponic, we drew hops from three continents to create this interesting flavor combination. Hops from the United States, New Zealand and Germany went into this iteration. When exploring some of the flavor hops that come out of the more recent New Zealand hop breeding efforts, we came across a hop that had distinctive notes of candied Pear Drop which if you haven’t tried them and we had to describe it further we would say it combines the aroma of pears with banana in a sweet aromatic treat. Dragon Fruit is how we describe an interesting blend of American Cultivars with tropical characteristics. Pineapple, Kiwi, bright flavors which are very complementary to the New Zealand hops. Peachy stone fruit notes can be attributed to the German hops although we get a little pear drop there too. We were focusing on more of the tropical side of the spectrum and less of the piney, herbal side of the hop world.

Oh, older than the last version I had. Can. Yellowish orange with a white head. Aroma of peach, mandarin, crackers, some spices. Can't smell any dragonfruit but it's hardly an aromatic fruit. Light bodied with little sweetness. Spices more than fruit, but fruit is a feature. Crisply bitter at the end. OK.

Pale yellow colour with thin head. Aroma and flavour has floral hop notes and bitter citrus pith. Smooth on the tongue. Still lots of malt coming through in the finish. Well balanced.

Ze hadden het nummer wel ff op het blik mogen vermelden. Redelijk laf, geen gekke fruitsmaakjes.
