Description
Crux is a crossroads, an intersection, the heart of something. In brewing it's that pivotal point where fermentation happens and anticipation mounts.
We’re Crux Fermentation Project— housed in a former AAMCO Transmission Plant and inspired by our location right in the heart of Bend, Oregon. Our brewery is a one-of-a-kind, built for non-traditional brewing methods like decoction mashing, open fermentation and barrel aging, and for leveraging the limitless possibilities that wild yeast strains and experimental hops present.

12.7 oz waxed and corked bottle. Aroma is bretty, apricot, wood, vanilla, funk. Pours hazy sunshine golden with a thin white collapsing head. Taste is moderately to highly sour (7.5/10) and acidic, a bit savory, with flavors of the aroma descriptors. Good and interesting.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver; canned 06/18, 40 days ago
Cloudy blond colour with large frothy head, nice lace. It's moderately fruity, off-dry, lean, cleaner than the average NEIPA, but just reaching moderate juiciness; the bitterness is low, not too unbalanced because the sweetness too is low.
Decent; but there is no striking element; we have better local options.

Pale gold body with thin white head. A little hazy. Light hoppy aroma. Something like a weizen in taste but with more hop. Crisp finish.
