Lua Brewing & Sapwood Cellars Brewery visited us at Toppling Goliath to go on a mission, venturing into uncharted territory by exploring previously unrecognized & underutilized aromatic compounds naturally occurring in hops. Harnessing the power of these compounds, we were able to achieve aromatic notes of bright, tropical passionfruit, orange, & grapefruit while still maintaining the fine line of balance. It was quite the paradoxical challenge, but as they say, “nothing ventured, nothing gained.” Join us on a journey into another universe of flavor!

(Draught at Beer Temple, Amsterdam, 15 Feb 2023) Cloudy golden colour with creamy, off-white head. Fruity nose with mango, pineapple, grapefruit and pine needles. Fruity, hoppy taste with notes of grapefruit, lemon peel, peaches, mango, pineapple, pine needles and a balanced citric/piney bitterness. More than medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Fruity, juicy and hoppy. Excellent balance, quite elegant in all its dankness. Great beer!

440ml can from Beer, Shilin Night Market, Taipei. Poured a yellow golden colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is dank weedy hops, tropical citrus. The flavour is moderate bitter and sweet, with a crisp, fresh, weedy, juicy citrus, pineapple, woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation.
