A Note on This Beer

Lua Brewing and Toppling Goliath loaded this Imperial Hazy with piles, heaps, and MOUNTAINS of specially selected Citra, Strata, Sabro, and Riwaka Hops. We’re talkin’ a quadruple dosing of lupulin cones that literally clogged the fermenter! 

That’s mighty delicious news for those of us who go crazy for the hazy — especially when it’s crafted by this Iowa dream team.

Lua’s only been open for 18 months, and they’ve already rocketed to Untappd’s list of Top 50 Best Breweries in the World. And, Toppling Goliath? Well, they’re the extraordinary brewers behind the 100/100, #1 rated beer in the World on BeerAdvocate!

Together, they’ve crafted some seriously smooth, dank juiciness in Waking Up In the Sun. This 8.7% ABV hop nectar’s ripe with flavors of orange, grapefruit, tangerine, mango, and papaya. An earthy kush comes through on the end for bittersweet balance. 

Each satiny-soft sip acts as a hoppy reminder that when it comes to world-class brews like Waking Up — which should be on every IPA-lover’s must sip list — Iowa’s where it’s at. 

Hawkeye State? More like Hazy State! 

Rated 4.36 on Untappd

500ml bottle from Tavour. Orange colored body, small fizzy head. Aroma features a hint of citrus along with some floral notes. Fruity, citrusy taste focusing on the tangy, spritzy flavors of citrus peel. Zesty, dry.
