Krush Pale

Tap to rate

Juicy guava and sweet fruit nectar on nose and palate, finishing on a clean citrus bite. Wheat and oats keep the mouthfeel soft and the bitterness low. Loaded with Krush hops for big tropical flavour at 5.5%, and endlessly crushable, as the name promises. Krush hops lean it right into tropical territory. Brewed in Leith, Edinburgh.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by ripe tropical stone fruit and guava, with secondary notes of sweet fruit nectar and floral hops. A clean, inviting bouquet with no harsh alcohol or oxidation; the Krush hops provide forward-facing tropical intensity without overwhelming the subtle malt support.

◐ Taste

Entry is immediately juicy and fruit-forward, with guava and tropical notes leading the palate. The wheat and oats impart a soft, smooth mouthfeel and balance the 35 IBU, which sits as a gentle restraint rather than assertive bitterness. The mid-palate maintains sweetness and fruitiness while building toward a clean citrus bite.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and refreshing, dominated by citrus notes that provide clarity and a clean departure. Low residual sweetness and minimal astringency leave the palate bright and ready for another sip.

Serve at 7–10°C

Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
