Luponic Distortion is not a single beer, but rather an ongoing series of beers that will evolve and revolve approximately every 90 days. It all kicks off with Revolution No. 001, to be followed by Revolution No. 002 and so on.
The base beer will remain the same with each new release, but the hop blend will change every time, so that no two releases will be exactly alike. In other words, there will be a common thread, but also some turns in the road as different hops are pushed to the forefront.
Luponic Distortion is an intentional departure from the heavier style of many IPAs. Instead, it aims for a razor-like brightness, providing a clean platform for the hop aromas to pop as vividly as possible.
As many as nine different hops will be included in each release, with up to six used in the dry hopping alone. However, with each release, the brewing team is going to turn up the volume a different featured experimental hop, which will be dry hopped in greater quantity than the others.
“We can completely evolve, change and redirect this thing as new hops come to us and as we get to know the hops better,” says Brewmaster Matt Brynildson. “Luponic is this beer that can keep morphing and stay interesting and remain out in front of this crazy hop wave.”

330ml draft in a bottle from lowcostbeer.com. Absolutely no idea which variant number this is so sticking with 001. Cloudy gold pour with small white head, some retention. Quite a floral and peachy aroma, some background caramel malts. Taste has a crisp citrus note followed by the floral/peach element, caramel, some pine in the finish, moderate bitter bite. Medium bodied, good carbonation. Surprising level of complexity through the flavour and tasty to boot.

Luponic Distortion IPA. Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

Can from Trafalgar Wines, Brighton. It pours clear gold with a thick white head. The aroma is fresh, bright, sweet, lemonade, grapefruit, grassy and spring onion. The taste is crisp, clean, bitter - sweet, lemonade, pithy grapefruit, straw, grass and pepper with a dry finish. Medium body and average carbonation. Not a huge amountgoing on, but it drinks mighty easy.
