Lumpen

Lumpen Elíxir is a vibrant Experimental Beer that bridges the gap between botanical craft and brewing. The sensory profile is defined by an aromatic explosion of fresh Huacatay, delivering distinctive notes of cool mint, basil, and lime, seamlessly integrated with the sharp, zesty punch of grapefruit peel. A specialized Norwegian yeast strain amplifies these citrus esters, creating a bright and refreshing bouquet. The pale, light-bodied base provides a crisp canvas, allowing the herbaceous Andean botanicals to shine. It finishes exceptionally clean with a lingering botanical bitterness, offering a complex yet highly sessionable experience inspired by traditional apothecary infusions.

Appearance. Pale gold (4-6 SRM) with a slight, natural haze from botanical additions. Pours with a moderate, bright white head featuring fair retention and delicate lacing.

Aroma. High intensity aromatic profile dominated by the unique herbal character of Huacatay, reminiscent of mint, anise, and fresh basil. This is layered over a bright citrus foundation of grapefruit zest and orange esters from the Norwegian yeast. Very low, cracker-like malt presence.

Taste. The initial impression is a crisp, refreshing botanical hit. Pronounced flavors of Huacatay provide a cooling, herbal complexity, followed by the tart, pithy bitterness of grapefruit peel. The Norwegian yeast contributes subtle stone fruit and citrus notes. Malt flavor is minimal, offering a neutral backdrop. Finish is dry and clean with a lingering herbaceous aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Light body with a crisp, refreshing texture. Medium-high carbonation provides a lively prickle on the tongue. Alcohol warmth is negligible. Very low astringency despite the botanical tinctures.
