Crusher

◎ Appearance

Crusher presents a bright golden-yellow hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass walls with good lacing. The carbonation is brisk and visible, creating a lively bead that sustains throughout the drinking experience.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with intense citrus notes—fresh grapefruit pith and lime zest dominate, backed by the hand-selected Citra hop character. Supporting the brightness is a resinous, herbaceous quality with subtle pine undertones, while light malt provides a gentle backbone without competing.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with bright citrus and hop-driven bitterness that builds steadily through the mid-palate. The resinous, herbal hop profile is balanced by a light caramel malt sweetness, though the overall impression is assertively bitter and dry. The 80 IBU delivers a clean, focused bitterness rather than harsh or astringent.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and lingering, with citrus and resinous hop bitterness extending long into the aftertaste. A subtle fruity note emerges as the beer warms, adding complexity to the persistently hoppy conclusion.
