On tap at Luppolo, pours a clear copper golden with a small white head. Aroma is pretty laid-back—can’t say I get much Chinook—with some fresh doughy notes, not much else. Flavour is likewise full of fresh doughy notes, finishing with a pronounced lingering bitterness. Chinook is one of my favourite hops, so I’m disappointed I don’t get its characteristic woody pine expression, but this is still reasonably constructed. Decent.

On tap at Luppolo, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma has intense allium, saved a little by the nice tangy Nelson hops, with some pine, floral notes, and then more allium—damn that’s some overly pungent Citra. Flavour is very bitter and very oniony, with Citra that dominated to the point of ruining this—just way too much allium. There’s some nice Nelson in the background but it can’t rescue this from the Citra. Reasonable structure but get rid of the Citra.

On tap at Luppolo, pours a clear golden with a large fluffy white head. Aroma has plenty of toasted malt, straw, and a touch of grassy hops. Flavour is clean-ish, with grassy notes, toasted malt, and straw. Finishes fairly bitter and crisp. Not particularly vibrant or dialled in, but competently done. Solid.

On tap at Luppolo, pours a cloudy, muddled yellow with a small white head. Aroma is overtaken by the marshmallow, with little else detectable. Flavour is also dominated by the marshmallow; there’s some residual bitterness in back, but this just ends up tasting like artificial candy. Poor.

On tap at Luppolo, pours a cloudy, muddled yellow with a small white head. Aroma has some candied fruits, melony hops, and light hopburn. Flavour is much the same, with a strange candied fruit expression to the hop combo, gentle hopburn, a strange yeast expression, and finishing bitter and semi-sweet. Odd yeast expression that doesn’t work for me, but at least it’s not chalky. Okay.

473ml can. Pours a hazy blonde with a small, fizzy, short lived, white head that fully dissipates. Aroma of grainy wheat malt, lemon peel, ginger and herbal hops. Sweet flavour of grainy wheat malt, lemon zest, ginger, light Brett and herbal hops in a dry, sour Lacto finish. Light body with a watery texture and soft carbonation. Refreshing and crushable.

16oz @ Alex's.
Aroma: caramel malt, some dark fruits, and a bit of smoke.
Taste: along the same lines, noticeably bitter, couldn't find the barrel-aging evidence.
Overall: still quite pleasant.

Can, enormous thanks Fil for bringing this one to Plzeň and sharing with us! Not sure this is exactly the same as the 2020 Luminosa with Brett, leaving it up to the Canadian admins to decide.
Hazy full yellow body, off-white head. Tart white wine notes in the aroma, esters, bit creamy and sweetish. Lean, dry taste, white wine, bit floral, some pineapple notes, peppery, but hugely bitter and astringent in the finish sadly, bringing the whole experience down a lot.

Can, thx Fil for bringing it back from Canada and sharing. Sweetish lean caramelly aroma, low vegetal touches. Dry, vaguely nutty and caramelly taste, lightly herbal, vaguely bitterish. Yeah, this isn't good.

On tap at The Magnet. Pours clear gold with a small white head. Very dusty, earthy dry grass/straw on the nose. Flavour has plenty of dusty, dry old grass, very earthy, dry straw. I really like the rustic profile, very enjoyable.
