Terra Nova Beer Co – Lumos Haze
Style of Beer:
Hazy IPA
Riverbend Malt(s) Used:
Chesapeake Pilsner (2-row Barley Malt), Raw Wheat, Hull & Oats (Oat Malt), Great Chit (Chit Malt)
Tasting Notes:
Expect peach skin and mango upfront in the aroma, followed by a mix of citrus peel, light papaya and guava. We layer hops thorough out the mash & whirlpool before dry hopping with El Dorado, Mosaic, Citra & Nelson Sauvin to achieve a saturation of hop flavors with only a small amount of bitterness. A beer for lovers of the tropical hoppiness of new world hops.
