Because One Lustra Just Wasn't Enough for Your Discerning Palate….
Ah, the craft beer world, where the adjectives are made up and the clarity doesn't matter. Enter the scene: Dancing Gnome's latest concoction, Double Lustra, a Hazy DIPA that promises to be twice as opaque and infinitely more pretentious than your average brew. Because, let's face it, if you're not drinking something that looks like it was directly extracted from a fog machine, are you even a craft beer enthusiast?
Dancing Gnome, in their infinite wisdom, looked at the beer landscape, cluttered with mere single hazy IPAs, and said, "Hold my beer...actually, make that two beers." Thus, Double Lustra was born, a testament to the brewery's commitment to ensuring that no one can actually see through their beer, metaphorically or literally.
The name itself, "Double Lustra," sounds like a spell Harry Potter might cast when he's trying to make his beer twice as turbid. It's a magical incantation that translates to, "I enjoy my beer like I enjoy my mysteries: thick, perplexing, and with a hint of existential doubt."
Diving into the flavor of Double Lustra is like embarking on a quest through a mythical forest, where every sip reveals a new, hidden layer of taste. Notes of tropical fruit, citrus, and the tears of traditional beer purists blend seamlessly, creating a flavor profile as complex as the plot of an Agatha Christie novel.
But let's not kid ourselves. The real reason anyone orders a Hazy DIPA, especially one as audaciously named as Double Lustra, is to feel a sense of superiority over the uninitiated. It's not just a beer; it's a statement. It says, "I appreciate the finer things in life, like not being able to see through my beverage."
Double Lustra isn't just a drink; it's a cultural phenomenon. It's for those who use the term "mouthfeel" without a trace of irony. It's for the brave souls who venture into the untamed wilderness of beer forums, armed only with their tasting notes and a thesaurus. This beer is the badge of honor they wear, a symbol of their dedication to the cause of making beer drinking as complicated as possible.
In conclusion, Double Lustra from Dancing Gnome is more than just a beer. It's a manifesto, a declaration of the hazy IPA's dominance in the craft beer scene. It's a double-down bet on opacity, a challenge to the very notion of what beer should be. So, here's to Double Lustra, the beer that dares to ask, "Why have clarity when you can have character?"
So, raise your glass (not that you'll be able to see through it), and toast to the haze that's here to stay. May your beers be thick, your judgments clouded, and your palates forever in pursuit of the next unfiltered frontier. Cheers, or as the Double Lustra might suggest, "Here's to doubling up on everything but transparency."
Cheers you, silly Bastards!
