Castle Danger Brewery Summer Crush. 4.7% ABV. Castle Danger Brewing, Two Harbors, MN.
Lightly hazy, pale golden color, slim white head.
In the nose: light, soft, airy, nice enough. Low bitterness.
In the mouth: Creamy, smooth, light citrus-y hop bitterness. Quite palatable...."crushable" as they youths are fond of saying, these days. Refreshing, lemon-y flavors grow and grown, and it stays just as quenching all the way through.
Good light, refreshing summer ale that I'm drinking just as summer ends....and you can drink it. (That's how my catch phrase goes, right?)
Summer Crush is a beer we brew just for summer. It has a pleasant lemon flavor and aroma from using Sorachi Ace hops, which is a defining characteristic of this Japanese hop variety. The malted barley lends a slightly sweet, biscuity backbone. Summer Crush is a sessionable beer and our take on a Shandy without being one. Like a Summer Crush back in the day, or Minnesota's short summer season, this beer won't be around for very long. Enjoy it while you can! Crush it!
