A crisp and refreshing IPA exploding with fresh floral hop character, named for a somewhat forgotten yet amazing hop variety named Crystal. A unique hopping program gives this beer a massive, clean bitterness and fresh hop aroma bursting with hints of citrus and fresh fruit.

Can pour into barrel glass from Redstone Liquors, Stoneham. Appearance is clear amber with minimal sparkle, 3-finger width rocky foam white head with fair retention and tons of soapy lacing. Aroma is citrus over tropical fruit, with malt base. Taste is citrus, grapefruit, tropical fruit, mild resin. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with thin texture, average carbonation and mix of sweet and bitter finish. Overall, decent complexity, particularly to the taste, and balance between sweet and bitter.

Tap at Revolution. Clear dark golden with small off white head. Tropical fruits, quite flowery, aromatic herbs, caramel, biscuits, cane sugar. Interesting aroma! Over medium sweet and medium bitter. Bit over medium bodied with oily feel. Quite different but nice.
