Crowd Control is a special beer for us here at Sopro, we have been brewing it for years and it has been our number one seller in the market for some time. We brewed the first “double dry hopped” version for our 5th anniversary back in 2018 and will now release a 4x dry hopped version. This will be limited to the month of May in celebration of 8 years so enjoy and drink fresh!

16 oz can from a 4 pack, thanks Mike!
Into Ghost In The Machine Teku.
Canned on 5/4/21.
Pours a ghastly, lit up, creamy light blonde color with a tall thick creamy head of 3 fingers that destroys the glass with lacing.
Aromas of grapefruit peel, very slight mango, some cereal mash, lemon, and a hint of mint. Not getting much more aroma than regular Crowd Control would impart.
Flavor is grapefruit peel, slight hop spoilage (already?), cereal mash, lemon peel, and slight cantaloupe. Definite hop spoilage already probably due to insufficient canning procedures.
Feel is juicy and semi-creamy, zero alcohol anywhere, and has a resiny juicy finish.
Overall, a bit of a let down. Still a good beer, but I may prefer regular Crowd Control a bit more. Perhaps I'll warm up to it a bit more over the course of the 4 pack.
Edit : Now drinking a standard Crowd Control side by side, I much prefer the original Crowd Control. This may be a personal preference only, I'd say still check the 4X DH out if you can. I will update this as I consume more cans from the pack.

Perfectly hazy corn milk yellow to darker maize with a white foam head that retains well before settling to a thick curled collar leaving all kinds of stalactite lacing on the glass.
Not as aggressive as the 4x might suggest, it's fairly juicy and sweet with a mildly toasted shortbread malt.
It's a little prickly but very pleasantly herbal, with a fluffy medium body that finishes tingly semi-dry.

4X Crowd Control was a market-wide, limited release in May 2021 for the Southern Prohibition (8th) Anniversary, on draft and in pint can 4-pks. Had at the SoPro Taproom on draft into almost tulip, and also poured from pint can, bottom stamped (apparently) canned on "05/04/21," into nonic pint. Re-released as 4X Crowd Control in Jan. 2024 at the Taproom on draft and in pint 4-pks., and in Oct. 2024 at the Taproom on draft and in 12-oz. 4-pks.
Pours bright, thick orange juice with 2-finger, creamy off-white head, with great retention, leaving thick, overlapping rings of Belgian lace down the glass. Mild citrus, big dry-hopping resin and mild malt aromas off the pour, then aromas of intense sharp citrus, sweet pineapple and increasing pine resin as warms, before a beautiful floral finish. On tasting, begins big, sweet pineapple and some berries, then crisp pine, which gives way to big, sweet and biting citrus which grows but is not quite sufficient to hide the mild malt backbone, before a resinous, mildly bitter, sweet citrusy finish.
As compared to regular Crowd Control and periodically-released DDH Crowd Control, this 4X version is simply but compellingly juicier and crisper, without overwhelming the malt, and, surprisingly, there's now this beautiful floral aroma element during your long, slow, sipping.
