Krushed Velvet

◎ Appearance

Pale straw to light gold with a hazy, turbid body from suspended yeast and protein matter. A dense, creamy head forms quickly and clings persistently to the glass walls, leaving fine lacing on the decline. Bright carbonation is evident throughout, maintained by a delicate mousse.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright tropical fruit—pineapple, mango, and stone fruit notes—layered over a resinous, almost piney backdrop. Citrus zest emerges alongside herbal cedar undertones, creating a complex interplay between fruit-forward and woody elements. Subtle malt sweetness grounds the composition without dominance.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with smooth, juicy tropical fruit that immediately transitions into a pronounced resinous bite and bright citrus acidity mid-palate. Cedar and herbal hop character intensify, balanced against a soft, creamy mouthfeel that prevents harshness. The beer walks the line between hazy juice and West Coast dryness with considerable finesse.

◑ Finish

A dry, lingering finish leaves resinous and citrus notes in the mouth, gradually fading to a subtle cedar-wood dryness. The aftertaste remains clean and refreshing without astringency.
