New England IPA: This is likely the beer style that most brewers will immediately apply Luminosa to. The range of fresh fruit flavours are a natural in hazies, and Luminosa has no sharp edges that conflict with these smooth beers. The “candied orange peel” hoppy sweetness doesn’t hurt either!
West Coast IPA: While hazies may be the first beer that comes to mind when smelling Luminosa, West Coast IPA as well as hybrids are totally in this hop’s realm. Combine with some Strata, Cascade, Citra or Chinook and you’ll get complimentary flavours with a touch of resinous backbone that keeps things crisp.
Helles/Kolsch/Pils: Luminosa is a fantastic hop for bringing bright fresh fruit flavours to these crisp beers, and you don’t have to worry about the hop resins interfering with the malt and fermentation flavours.
Pale Ale: Whether bright or hazy, pale ales promise to be a refreshing way to bring Luminosa flavors to the people. Combine with Cascade or Oregon Chinook and the new school meets old school magic comes to life
