Mandarin & Mango Crush 2024 Art Series Lucsko

Big improvement from 2022. Great citrus aroma that has some good tartness to it. Body is light and a bit watery but the tartness of the citrus elevated this quite a bit. Finish is a mix of sweet and sour. Pair with…sweet and sour chicken

The Perfect Pairing Pale Ale Lucsko

Milky tropical fruit aroma with some pineapple and passion fruit. Body is creamy and juicy. The bitterness takes a background role to the juicy citrus flavors. Slightly sweet and it leaves a long lasting citrus finish. Pair with teriyaki shrimp

Hazy Squall Lucsko

Very fruity very citrus aroma. Incredibly light body verging on watery. You get the citrus notes early on followed up with a balanced but persistent bitterness. Something is really missing from this and maybe it’s from the cold. Pair with cheese fries

Rübæus Lucsko

Light raspberry aroma that feels like there is some cream in there. This is absolutely divine on nitro. Perfectly creamy with the sweetest of raspberry. It isn’t too tart. It finishes balanced for a fruit ale. Pair with dark chocolate mousse

Scarlet Dawn IPA Lucsko

Great aroma, like sticking my nose in a kids fruit cup. Pretty light on body as expected. But it has great character. Plenty of hops and malt. There is a weird segue in the middle but like the lingering bitter finish. Pair with cheesy popcorn.

Where the Wild Hops Are Lucsko

There is a sweetness to this aroma. Maybe a little lavender and lilac. Hop forward and very dry. This is one that will clear your throat a bit. A little aggressive but I like a beer that fights back on the end. Pair with Tom Yum soup

Blue Hen Lucsko

Is this meant to have some slight blueberry aroma? I mean it goes away fast…maybe a line issue. Very crisp with a slight hop bite. Has a malty backbone that I appreciate. Nothing fancy but a solid beer nonetheless. Pair with waffle fries

Lemon Quest Lucsko

Aroma is of a nice lemonade perhaps with some heavier carbonation. This somehow manages to bring the tartness of a refreshing lemonade with the bland backbone of a bad NA. Sea salt helps a lot. Berry hint at finish. Pair with chicken salad sandwiches

Bottle Shop Series: Nemesis Lucsko

Mild malty aroma with a bit of smoke and alcohol. Body is heavy and leaves a lot of residue going down. This has big characteristics. Extremely hop forward, nutty, and boozy. Exist in tandem, not blended. Aggressive aftertaste. Pair with smoked sausages

Campfire Amplifier Lucsko

Aroma is off. Like malt and metal very milky body. You really have to search for these flavors. I get the cocoa and some cinnamon but the rest is lost. Concept is great but execution missed. Finish is syrupy but good spices. Pair with more s’mores

Hazy-O! Lucsko

Aroma is mild but super juicy with some pineapple there. That’s really smooth. Not saying it’s juicy but goes down with this nice balance of bitter and sweet. Brief pucker of sour before a nondescript finish. Pair with Cuban sandwich

Sun-Day-Feels Lucsko

There is a lot of fresh citrus aroma here but also some sour malt. Immediately get the hit of white grape juice for more of a wine vibe. But the sour citrus comes in the middle for a deep cut. Finish is fast and not exciting. Pair with prosciutto

Siracusa Nera Lucsko

That aroma is funky with the grapes added to coffee and oak. I like it. Super thick. It plays like a regular Russian stout but the grapes add a layer of sour complexity. A bit smoky in the middle and warming. Finish is boozy. Pair with filet mignon
