Long Distance KRUSH
Long Distance KRUSH IPA arrives as a heavy-hitting brew that channels intense citrus and tropical fruit across both aroma and palate. Juicy notes of grapefruit, orange, and stone fruit weave through a clean malt backbone, while the aromatics remain upfront and assertive throughout. At 6.3%, the alcohol sits low enough to let the hop character dominate without warming the finish. This is a beer that demands attention on its own—best served cold, in a standard pint glass, and sipped slowly to track how the citrus shifts toward papaya and mango in the second half. Ideal for an afternoon when you want bold flavor without heaviness.

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.
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.
