A Note on This Beer

Just last year, Hop Culture put Torch & Crown at the top of their 10 Best New Breweries list. Which is a big freaking deal!

Being named one of the country’s best by these craft aficionados is like winning Best New Artist at the Grammys!

While the brewery itself holds The Beatles, Lauren Hill, and Adele-like “best new artist” status, today’s Rainmaker IPA is their great-tasting hit you could listen to again, and again, and again.

The brewers packed this Hazy with a juicilicious blend of Citra and Nelson Sauvin Hops for bright, sunny flavors of fresh-squeezed OJ, tantalizing tangerine, and beyond-quenching, grapefruit-spiked Pinot Grigio. It’s complex, full bodied, and still super sessionable.

After-work baseball games, helping the kids with their homework, lunchtime libations — you might find yourself going back to this #1 single anytime life calls for a juicy refreshment that won’t knock you on your keester.

Light alcohol, slightly bitter, and goes down like water. Order me another one because I need to hydrate this summer!

Dank w/some mild funk, ripe melon, slight butternut squash, Bret essence. Full body and flavor for session style IPA.

Orange rind and fermented cabbage nose. Effervescent mouthfeel with tastes of orange Tang, raw pumpkin, tangerine zest. Dry, slightly bitter finish

I love grapefruit, but some sweetness would have made this one for me.

Juicy yet dry finish. Little on the heavy carbonated side.

A bit odd at the end but pretty good. I'd pass next time but maybe would get it again and love it if they tweaked this brew a bit.

Perhaps all the high octane brews I’ve been drinking lately left me wanting more with this one… crushable and really light. Had enough character to make me want more but I’d love for Torch & Crown to double this or do something to give it more oomph.

Wonderful aroma, citrusy flavor, aftertaste not so great (kinda bitter). Could use just a touch of sweetness.

Good night for the ALC. Enjoyable but nothing to ride home about.
