A Crushable IPA brewed with Spelt and hopped singularly and heavily with Crystal. An ode to one of craft beer's often overlooked hops. Pure, simple, and expressive.

Almost like a hophands light. Somewhat cloudy, floral/fruity aroma and a light hoppy taste. Feel is light as well, but very drinkable. This one is named correctly with the light body and flavor.

On tap at Tired Hands Fermentaria in Ardmore, PA.
This one pours a lightly hazy (much less hazy than most Tired Hands beers) yellow color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.
Smells good, but not quite as bold and expressive as I'm used to with this brewery. I get some melon, orange, and lemon, not much in the malt department.
This is pretty good, but I think the shortcomings come from the simple fact that Crystal hops aren't the best hops out there, at least for me. It feels a bit watery, and light tasting- I get some nice melon, but maybe too much lemon, with some definite grassiness too.
This is pretty light bodied, with a crisp mouthfeel, and a good level of carbonation. It's very drinkable.
This was interesting to try, but pretty far from Tired Hands' best beer.
