Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is Crux Fermentation Project Insider
IPA. I picked this bottle up at the brewery.
From the Crux Fermentation Project website: “This truly American IPA owes its
inspiration and its very existence to the bounty of hops in our own backyard.
In the glass, the copper-and-gold hue results from a base of Northwest Pale,
Munich and primarily Pilsner malts. On the tongue, warm colors continue,
abetted by Oregon-cultivated Sterling hops that yield earthy flavors of orange
peel and peppercorn.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours
a light golden orange color with a slight white head and soapy lacing.
Aroma: Peaches,
tropical fruit, pine, sweet caramel, biscuit malts, orange and a touch peppery.
Taste: Tropical
fruit, peaches and citrus, sweet caramel and biscuit malts and a slight peppery
spice.
Overall: Highly
drinkable and refreshing, Crux Fermentation Project Insider IPA is
enjoyable. It certainly doesn’t drink
like an 8% ABV beer. Check it out if you get a chance.
Cheers!
Mark Harvey
