Description
Crooked Run is a brewery in Loudoun County, Virginia. We started back in 2013 in a 600 sq ft space in Leesburg. Now, we have a ten barrel brewery and taqueria, where we produce many different beers for a thriving taproom with great food, great people, and great music. You can find our beer around the DMV and at all the best beer bars. It took a lot of work and love to get here, and we're very happy to be able to share what we love with you.

Very cloudy, deep and straw yellow coloured body, with even some hints of beige and light muddied copper, all with a very nice, microfoamed tan head, about four centimetres tall - beautiful and 95 per cent opaque. Aroma of grapefruit, pungent resinous hops, a lot of bitterness from alpha acids, some alcohol and quite a bit of grassiness noticeable. Medium to Full-bodied; Very bitter, grassy and dank, resinous hop notes shine through, with a grapefruit, herbal and perfumey finish, but a lot of bitterness here and a good deal of rich malts to support the hops, but the bitterness and dank qualities of the hops shows stronger. Aftertaste shows the floral and piney hop notes with a lot of bitterness still remaining and a subdued sweetness that is noticeable, but isn't cloying and not comparable to the amount of malt and especially hops here. Overall, a very nice beer, definitely on the older-school side of things, with a nice bitterness, solid malt backbone and smooth sweetness - but the format is crazy - a twelve ounce can would be much nicer for such a 'big' beer - great to sample very fresh and well-recommended if you can find it and to be honest - handle it (I don't know if I really can!). I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from The Perfect Pour in Elkridge, Maryland on 25-October-2022 for US$4,99 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 15-November-2022.
