Firestone Walker Brewing Co Luponic 18
What the brewers say
“No fruits. No flavorings. No shortcuts.”
What our panel thought
“Sweet, clear notes of candied orange peel and lemon drop with fainter green-dank notes. A firm, quick, and clean bitterness drives into a dry finish. Crisp as all-get-out. Some carbonic bite. Refreshing, clean, addictive, without being hugely expressive.”
What our editors thought
“Plantain, lime Runts candy, and kiwi notes on the nose, with a crisp tropical edge. The flavor feels pedestrian by comparison, as sharper bright floral notes layer over tight carbonation and a very gentle tropical bitterness, but no real fruit to speak of.”
