Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is Crux Fermentation Project Outcast
IPA. Crux Fermentation Project came VERY
highly recommended and since I only had a couple days in Bend, OR I decided to
visit their brewery and tap room one afternoon.
I’m not sure if I picked this bottle up at the brewery or at Broken Top
Bottle Shop (here), but if you see Crux
Fermentation Project beers anywhere…pick some up!
From the Crux Fermentation Project website: “The name “Outcast” gives
a nod to the origin of the Galaxy hops used. The hops came from Australia,
which was originally populated by English “Outcasts” or outlaws.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours
a pale orange with nice white head and foamy lacing.
Aroma: Citrus,
topical and floral hop scents dominate with biscuit malts lingering in the
background.
Taste: Clean and
bright, citrus and tropical hops with a nice biscuit or cereal sweetness
balancing this one out.
Overall: Highly drinkable
and balanced, Crux Fermentation Project Outcast IPA is stellar. As I said above, if you can find any of Crux
Fermentation Project beers pick some up.
This 8% ABV offering is a real treat both on tap and in the bottle.
Cheers!
Mark Harvey
