Gimme Mo
Crux Fermentation Project

Look: Copper in color and nearly clear with a booming and rapidly forming head that swells to a pillow and slowly recedes, leaving great lacing behind. This beer looks awesome

Aroma: Pink and white grapefruit, tangerines, pine sap, mango, some fruity dank, strawberries, blueberries, and sweet bready malt

Taste: Opens up with a delicious blend of sharp citrus fruit and mixed berries that hit quick, settle in, and deepen. Pine is evident in the middle and works in nicely as some mango and melon float around in the background. Closes with the return of citrus, some dank, and a light but noticeable bite

Mouthfeel: Full, smooth, clean, medium-high carbonation, and clean and smooth on the finish with just a hint of dryness

Overall: This is some good stuff. I couldn’t believe I’d never reviewed this before so it was a treat to have my dad toss me a single so I could. It’s a tasty and well-made WCIPA with two of my favorite hops, both of which are showcased well in it. Recommended

CRUX FERMENTATION PROJECT- GIMME MO IPA 6.2 abv
Beer pours a dark amber semi cloudy color with a big head. The smell and taste show an apple cider citrusy fruit forward beer with a bit of melon rind flavor mixed with pine needle. The taste is similar to a fresh hop brew. The hops used were whole leaf Mosaic and Citra hops.

 

Must have been brought back into rotation, canned 3/8/23. Nice amber color, smallish head. Picking up tropical fruit on the nose - mango and pineapple. Taste is very clean and the hop flavors are presented with moderate bitterness. Mouthfeel is light, semi-dry, modest carbonation and a smooth finish. Very drinkable with a moderate 6.2% ABV.

draught
Lovely, velvety, thick off-white head. Very clear, medium golden orange hue. Subtle, spiced caramel and mandarin orange aroma. First sip is a bit bitey but quickly subsides with the bite receding into the malt flavor welling up. Spiced floral with a tiny citrus peel note and a lasting finish with an easy bite. Medium bodied with that bite.

 

 

 

 

 

very cool ipa here, a bit different from what else is out there, and another great hoppy beer from crux. surprised i havent reviewed this one before, i feel like this was not my first time enjoying it. in any event, it has a little deeper color to it from the tap, kind of bronze in the glass. aroma is more uniquely fruity than i often get from mosaic and citra hops, and it seems unlikely that those are the only ones in here, i get that grassy limey galaxy hop character, even some el dorado type melon, but im not sure if there are any other hops actually in this or not. some crackery malt here too, lighter in taste than its color suggests, and drier too, unique base for these hops that seems to not just support them well but bring out some cool nuance. tangerine and melon in the flavor, some slight sharpness, passion fruit tang for a flash, some pineapple and meyer lemon, and an almost candied center of this, even though the grain seems dry, not sure where that comes from, almost a cryo hop sort of climax, insanely fresh and flavorful, i cant quite figure it out, and i cant get enough, i drink my pint way too quickly trying to understand what im tasting, its very distinct, especially for these two hops, which seem like such well known entities at this point, especially in combination with each other. awesome ipa, one i have often overlooked but will be drinking with some regularity now if it keeps on tasting like this. really impressive and different from the crowd.

Slightly hazed dirty orange coloured ale with a nice sized thick and creamy of white head.
Fine fresh piney/spruce and fruity citrusy hop aromas..a bit of light malts.
Taste is really nice its hoppy and bitter yet still smooth.
Mouth feel is on the lighter side but works fine.
An OK beer ..easy drinker

Copper and filtered with no carbonation and 4 fingers of white head.

Very fruity aroma of melons and mango, coriander and blueberries.

Medium to light body with almost no carbonation.

Enjoying this at home Jan 22nd, 2018.

Dank malty sweetness cut with a mellow melon note. This beer pours an impressive golden amber with a creamy cap. Mosaic, but not the typical mo. Might have proved to be a bit too much mo?

 

Poured from a 12 ounce can into a IPA glass.

Look- Deep gold, small particulate sediment, above average head retention, average lacing.
Smell- Fruity, sweet, citrus, pine.
Taste- Fruity, mango, sweet and boozy finish, slight pine.
Feel- Between thin and medium body, average carbonation, very smooth.

Amber golden pour , bit short of clear but not hazy. Aroma is initially caramel malt with some floral/fruity effect - mango, sweet citrus, tangerine. Taste follows - sweet caramel malt, melon, perhaps a bit of strawberry. Faint hop presence, but little noted bitterness - not see the 50 IBU. Win here is the mouthfeel - so smooth, almost creamy with perfect carbonation. If hoping for a bitter hop bomb look elsewhere but this is a delicious malt forward IPA.
