Crusher is an American Double IPA that I started making years ago at the old pub. Hop heads were constantly asking for more hops. So, in the words of Frank Zappa, "Did you say you want some more? Well here's some more." While I enjoy hops with the rest of them, I still try to maintain some semblance of balance and drinkability. This beer is oozing with hop flavor and aroma with a very dry finish. Enjoy responsibly, this one can sneak up on you.

Pours a cloudy yellow golden body and a firm, dense, fluffy white head with good retention. Aroma's of citrussy hops and malts. Retronasal its's sweetish, citrus juice, bitterish. Flavour is solid bitter with a nice malty sweet backbone. Medium bodied. Medium carbonation. Nice and juicy. Finishes with firm bitterness, but not harsh.

Это пиво на фесте налил мне сам Джон Кимихь, что я никогда не забуду. Пиво само отличное, конечно горькое просто пиздец, но хмеля очень интересно играют, как будто разными цветами. Даже скажу что уникально по вкусу хоть и гипер горько.

Can from J&B Craft Drinks. Piney and bitter with citrus, orange, pine resin, tropical fruit, some grapefruit. Long bitterness with a little sweetness. About what you can ask for from a classic IIPA. Great beer.
