Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Long Distance KRUSH
◎ Appearance
Long Distance KRUSH presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a bright, inviting character. The head forms with vigor and clings to the glass with persistent lacing, while fine carbonation streams rise steadily through the body.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with assertive citrus and tropical fruit—grapefruit zest, fresh orange peel, and stone fruit notes dominate immediately. Noble hops deliver a clean, forward-facing character without harshness, creating an upfront and engaging aromatic profile.
◐ Taste
Entry is crisp and juicy, with grapefruit and orange notes landing on the palate alongside ripe stone fruit. The clean malt backbone provides balance without sweetness, while moderate bitterness (around 50 IBU) settles evenly across the mid-palate and allows the citrus to remain central to the flavor experience.
◑ Finish
The finish tapers from citrus into papaya and mango notes, lingering with a crisp, dry quality. At 6.3% ABV, the alcohol remains fully integrated, leaving no warming sensation and allowing hop flavor to sustain through the aftertaste.
Serve & Enjoy

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
