Our Luminous IPA series is an experimental group of beers that explores different hop profiles and synergies using the same grain bill with different hop combinations. Luminous #4 is brewed and generously dry-hopped with Styrian Wolf hops. This Slovenian hop offers intense fruity and floral flavors with notes of tangerine and lychee.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: golden orange semi-cloudy color with a finger and a quarter of white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: citrusy to piney to subtle tangerine-like hoppy notes; subtle biscuity malts
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a bitter to a medium bittersweet semi-juicy quality; finishes with a semi-bitter citrusy rind-like to sweet tangerine-like quality
Texture: medium bodied; almost leaning to being sessionable; some smoothness but also some hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: okay, well this was a bit of a step back in the series, eh...but I'm not counting Ten Bends out yet. No way, will I do that.

Tap. Blackback Pub, Waterbury, VT. Almost clear, medium gold. Fine white head is lasting and fully lacing. Nose has gummy fruit. Pine sap. Sweet grain. Taste is pretty sweet, with a nicely robust, piny bitterness. Medium body. Oily and quite sticky. Fine carbonation. Lingering bitterness to finish. Nice one. Feels a bit old school.
