Mind Haze Cosmic Crusher
Cosmic Crusher is the strongest member of the Mind Haze family, released in late 2023 as a juicy imperial IPA. At 9.5 percent it layers succulent pineapple and ripe mango over a soft, full malt body, with the alcohol held in check by the fruit. Bitterness is low at 25 IBU, so the impression stays juicy and rounded rather than sharp. The finish is smooth, with a gentle warmth from the strength.
