Crucial Shredder is kind of a mash-up between Master Shredder(our house IPA) and Crucial Taunt(our house DIPA). Master Shredder is a 5.5% IPA hopped with a proprietary hop blend, but mainly with Mosaic. Crucial Taunt is an 8% DIPA hopped with a proprietary hop blend, but mainly with Citra. It's no secret that we love Citra hops, so we thought it would be cool to see how Master Shredder would taste by substituting the Mosaic portion of the blend for Citra. The results are incredible! We still love Master Shredder and will keep the recipe the same, but this is such an awesome spin on the original.

On tap, pours a slightly hazy light gold. Smells mostly of Citra--catty, fruity and dank. Tastes horrible. Diacetyl or some other error. I barely finished half of a 4 oz pour. They should have dumped this. Disappointing.

Pours a hazy golden. There some stone fruit aroma on the nose. It's very dry. There isn't a lot of sugar in this and the low final gravity makes this feel like it is not getting the most out of the hops. I feel like there's something missing here.
