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.

Shared can. Yellow golden color with small white head. Aroma of citrus hops, zest, oranges. Taste, malty start followed by strong hoppy kick with oranges, zest, pines. Long hoppy bitter finish.

Burk från Mikkeller Beer Club:
Mörkt gulgrumlig med stort, tjockt skum. Det är även en hel del stora jästpartiklar som flyter omkring. Det är väldigt mycket humle i både doft och smak. Stor och lång beska. Inte mycket nyanser; bara en massa humle. God, men nästan i mäktigaste laget.

Cloudy yellow pour with a fine head. Decent lacing down the sides of the glass. Looks nice and inviting. Lovely hoppy aroma with a fine intensity. Nose sex. Pleasant mellow carbonation level. Easy to drink. Smooth texture. Fine lasting hoppy tail. Grapefruit/citric hoppy, fruity and pine in the flavor. Lovely tasty and very session able stuff. Dangerous....

Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style 22A). Can 47 cl - Batch unknown (BBF unknown). AROMA: medium to medium-low hop aroma with a pine and resin character. starting to show faint oxidative notes. medium-low background of a neutral-sweet malt character with a medium-low alcohol presence. APPEARANCE: gold color and hazy. medium moussy white head with good retention. leg formation. TASTE: medium to medium-low hop flavor with pine and resin characteristics. medium malt presence (neutral malty and slightly sweet). high bitterness with an almost dry and bitter finish that lasts. PALATE: medium body with a smooth texture. slight alcohol warmth. OVERALL: a DIPA without much hop complexity, maybe from the time on the can.

Sample courtesy of Sander, big thanks. orange rather hazy color, small white head. smells pine,dank, lychee, passion fruit, bit earthy, lightly citric. very nice smell. full body, soft carbonation, slick mouthfeel. tastes earthy, spices, lychee, passion fruit, some oats, bit leathery, pines. finishes rather bitter with notes of lychee, oats and light leathery notes. very nice one, taste is rather on the bitter side but overall still quite good to drink.
