BlackStack Focus Group: Krush. Single Hop West Coast Style IPA.
7.1 % ABV, BlackStack Brewing, St. Paul, Minnesota.
Clear, bright golden hue, large ivory head.
In the nose: bold and fruity, pineapple and papaya. Very tropical, with a whiff of dank.
In the mouth: brash and bitter, on the tongue and on the palate. Aspirin-like astringency leans hard. Light bodied and easy drinking. Some citrus coming around, a prickle of pine. Aroma threw a curve, but we’re getting something close enough to a West Coast IPA that I’m fairly satisfied.
Not too shabby there.
Before we get to the beer, I just need to get your opinion on a couple of things. Focusing all of our attentions on Krush Hops, formerly know as Experimental HBC 586. Can I get a show of hands on who's ready to KRUSH one of these bad boys?
