Pentrich Brewing Co.

Crystal Crush is a vibrant Wild Specialty Beer that showcases a harmonious interplay between sharp acidity and velvety texture. The sensory experience is dominated by a high-intensity profile of freshly crushed raspberries, offering both jammy sweetness and a zesty, tart edge. Pentrich Brewing Co. utilizes lactose to expertly soften the beer's lactic bite, resulting in a creamy, rounded character that balances the inherent fruit acidity. The fermentation remains clean, allowing the pure fruit esters to shine without being overshadowed by funk. It finishes refreshingly crisp, leaving a lingering impression of bright red berries and a smooth, milky sweetness on the palate.

Appearance. Deep pink to brilliant ruby red in color with a slight haze from the fruit addition. The head is pale pink, showing moderate to poor retention and minimal lacing, which is common in high-acidity styles.

Aroma. High intensity of ripe raspberries and red berry esters. A clean, sharp lactic sourness is present, complemented by a subtle, creamy sweetness from the lactose. Hop aroma is absent, and malt character is neutral and doughy.

Taste. Leading with a punch of tart raspberry juice and bright citric acidity. The mid-palate features a notable lactose sweetness that provides a counterpoint to the sourness, preventing a bone-dry finish. Hop bitterness is negligible. The fermentation character is clean and acidic, leading to a refreshing, fruit-forward aftertaste with no harshness.

Mouthfeel. Medium body, possessing more weight and creaminess than a typical sour due to the unfermentable lactose. Moderate carbonation provides a lively tingle on the tongue. Alcohol warmth is low, and there is no significant astringency from the fruit skins.
