Irrational Brewing Company Exp. Krush DDH Hazy IPA – American IPA at 6.0% ABV (C$5.31 at Collective, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 9-Oct-2024, reviewed 14-Oct-2024)
Appearance: hazy pale gold with two fingers of fluffy pale ivory head, good retention and heavy soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: sweet tropical and stone fruit, cereal grains, light dank resin. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry medium duration finish. (4/5)
Looks to be single-hopped with Krush, formerly experimental HBC-586. The brewer calls it their favourite hop, but my experience with it seems to have been a bit hit and miss. This one, however, is removing all uncertainty regarding its qualifications, and is pretty emphatically the best implementation of the hop I’ve encountered to date. Quite nice. (16/20)
This will be my 5,972nd unique Untappd check-in.
