Lupulin Brewing - Apricot Blonde - Flavored Blonde Ale (USA)



Another flavored beer from Lupulin, established in Minnesota, is Apricot Blonde.
As the name suggests, this is a beer with an apricot flavor. Unlike IPAs, a real fruit aroma has indeed been added to it. Despite not being a big fan of flavored beers, the apricot flavor goes really well with this beer. Along with the nice, slightly sweet taste of a Blonde Ale, you also get a nice accompanying apricot aroma.
Drinking this beer, produced for the summer, was enjoyable, even in the waning days of summer.

Lupulin Brewing - CPB (Chocolate Peanut Butter) Porter - American Porter (Ale/USA)



Lupulin, established in Minnesota, has a sweetened beer called CPB, which is a porter with chocolate and peanut butter flavors.
Unfortunately, most sweetened beers don't appeal to my taste buds. Even though it has flavors like chocolate and peanut butter that I enjoy, and it's a type of beer like porter that I would like, the combination of these flavors doesn't create a beer taste that I enjoy.
Nevertheless, as I mentioned before, there are people who like it, and it could be a good beer for those who enjoy it.

Lupulin Brewing - Blissful Ignorance - Double IPA (Ale/USA)



Blissful Ignorance is one of the flagship beers of Lupulin Brewing, founded in Minnesota. It is a Double IPA.
Double IPA is one of the variations that emerged from America, derived from IPA. In comparison to a regular IPA, it has an increased amount of malt and hops added. As a result, the beer is more bitter and higher in alcohol content.
Blissful Ignorance is a nearly perfect beer. It has the right level of bitterness and alcohol, and on top of that, it incorporates floral and tropical aromas commonly found in new generation IPAs, adding flavor to the beer. By the term "new generation," I mean that bitterness is no longer deemed sufficient in IPAs. The influence of hazy, Northeast American-style IPAs is quite strong in these beers.
This is also one of the best beers I have ever had in my life. By the way, even just one of them is enough to get pleasantly buzzed on an empty stomach.

Lupulin Brewing - Fashion Mullet - Hazy IPA (Ale/USA)



Lupulin is a craft brewery founded by two friends in Minnesota. They have over 20 active beer varieties and have produced hundreds of beer types over the years.
Fashion Mullet is a hybrid of two Turkish IPAs, combining both the hazy IPAs from the East and the West. The name is inspired by the mullet hairstyle, which is shorter in the front and longer in the back. The short-haired part represents the West Coast American IPA, while the long-haired part represents the hazy IPAs from the new East Coast.
I didn't specifically notice that I was making such a synthesis while drinking the beer, but overall, it is a very nice beer. The fruity aromas derived from its hazy IPA nature blend with the classic bitterness that comes from the West Coast.
Once again, I would recommend this beer.

Lupulin Brewing - Straight Hash Homie - Double IPA (Ale/USA)



A beer produced in limited quantities by Lupulin, established in Minnesota, called Straight has Homie (SHH). The biggest characteristic of SHH is that it is made only with Lupulin powder. Lupulin consists of the particles at the end of the hops and is the most aromatic part of the plant.
The resulting beer is truly fantastic, one of the best Double IPAs I've ever tasted. The bitterness, aroma, richness, and consistency can be considered perfect. Despite being flavorful, it does not have a bitterness that is overshadowed by the aroma like NEIPAs.
Once again, I highly recommend this beer.

Bitterness (IBU): 60

Lupulin Brewing - Hooey - Hazy IPA (Ale/USA)



Lupulin is a craft brewery founded by two buddies in Minnesota. They have over 20 different active beers and have brewed hundreds of beer varieties over the years. Stylistically, it reminds me of Greek Kykao.
Hooey is a beer that increases your expectations when you look at its box, at least for me. It is a hazy IPA, which means it is a cloudy, unfiltered beer.
It pours nicely into the glass, a little too foamy but the head has good retention. You bring the beer to your nose, and the aroma is really nice, it's been going well so far. Then comes that first sip that reveals everything, making a great impression as an amazing beer. As you can see in the picture, you get the taste of citrus, pine, exotic fruits, all in one gulp.
It's really great, a beer that I would want to share with everyone.
