Session IPA 4.5 º 32 IBU

Maplewood Brewing Company

Crushinator presents a bright, sessionable take on the American IPA, balancing a unique grist of Vienna malt and flaked corn. The aroma is dominated by Simcoe, Apollo, and Centennial, which deliver a vibrant bouquet of tropical fruit, zesty citrus, and resinous pine. Beneath this bright fruitiness, Mt. Hood hops contribute a delicate layer of earthy spice. The Vienna malt adds a subtle toasty depth without being heavy, while the flaked corn ensures a crisp, dry finish. This medium-light bodied ale emphasizes hop complexity over intensity, providing a refreshing bitterness that makes it highly approachable and easy to drink.

Appearance. Medium gold to light amber (SRM 6–9); bright clarity with a persistent, frothy off-white head and fine lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity; prominent tropical pineapple and citrus zest from Simcoe and Centennial; secondary resinous pine and a hint of earthy spice from Mt. Hood. Low grainy, slightly toasty malt background with a clean fermentation profile.

Taste. Leading with bright tropical fruit and piney hop flavors; firm but smooth bitterness supported by clean, toasty malt notes from the Vienna base. The finish is very dry and crisp with a lingering citrus and earthy spice aftertaste and a clean fermentation character.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body; moderate to high carbonation; very smooth texture with no astringency and minimal alcohol warmth.
