Hops may be the current ruler of the craft beer scene, and we, for one, have always been fond of our resinous, spicy, and bitter overlords. Dream Crusher is an aggressively hopped double IPA brewed with Texas-grown and locally malted rye. A highly adventurous spin on a familiar style. Cheers to Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Hoppiness!

Can picked up from Beer Republic webshop Boerkel-Enschot Netherlands and consumed at home Sunday 30th March 2025 listening to Veldt - Illuminated 1989 after a fab homemade Tuna Fish Burger, Tsatsiki and Cheesy Chips. We did a hard and very hilly local loop cycle ride today to Kirchdorf im Wald, Hintberg, Untermittersdorf etc. Anyway onto the beer, pours deep warm gold, hazy with a large creamy textured white head. Very on the nose classic DIPA, resinous some sweet orange, a great citrussy streakiness, but all of this is underpinned by a big malty base. Thick in the mouth, nice bittersweet balance, really decent. I haven't checked but I suspect that as with many of these cheaper DIPAs from Beer Republic it won't be particularly fresh but regardless it's holding up well and a good example of the style.

Can 35,5 cl. Pours a clear amber with a small, creamy and lacing, beige head. Toffee and biscuit nose - a little dusty. Rich and sweet body with caramel and toffee - plenty of crystal malts here. Solid bitterness although most is buried under the sweetness. 300125

Deep Ellum in the news lately. And not really in a way I like to hear. In any case glad to see a beer from them I have not had located at the nearest HEB in the singles selection. 12 oz can popped open and being lifted inside of an ABGB snifter. A medium dark gold body topped by an appropriate head of icy white foam. I smell plenty of hops, grass and a bit of citrus, no surprise in the style. The drink is nice in this day and time for an IPA. I am finding pine, yellow fruit, grain, a touch of hard candy and lots of bitterness. Tasty, renews my faith in good beers in general and DIPAs specifically.

Can at home, from Beerdome, 12/11/20. Looks like canned in May so 6 months not ideal age wise ... the oldest of the hoppy beers I picked up but at least a big old skool DIPA which should hopefully take the ageing a little better than others! Very light haze on a golden amber pour topped with a big old egg shell white head that stays for the show. Nose is orange peel, caramel malts, grass, honey, toasted grains, light pine needle. Taste comprises sweet malts, pine needle, light bubblegum, caramel, grapefruit, lick of alcohol, a little chewy. Medium bodied with a little bite, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with balanced hop bitterness and a rising boost. Decent enough Old Skool leaning DIPA ... a reminder of mid to late noughties US staples!
