Did They Crush It?

Instant Crush

Counterpart Brewing

5.2% Alcohol

I don’t have too many opinions about politics. The truth is I can weave a pretty good yarn, recount a rant, tell a tall tale on occasion. But when it comes to bull shitting I can’t hold a candle to most politicians. That being said, I don’t think Counterpart’s can art of a serpent putting the crush on an eagle has anything to do with the current trade wars going on, or does it? It is the year of the snake after all. * When it comes to the politics of beer, all the rhetoric in the world is just background noise when it comes to a pour and score.

A very hazy OJ pour, no press conference is going to clarify this opening statement. A citrus lemon hoppy nose, this one. First taste is citrus tropical hoppy with malt and funk with a dry finish, as complex and at times as baffling as an election year policy statement. A soft full mouthfeel. It simplifies a bit as it evolves into to a hoppy tropical citrus juicer, all good.

So did Counterpart crush it? I wouldn’t say it’s an instant crush even though it is. And it’s not really a big swigger, Not as crushable as a paper hat but it is refreshing.

*Editor’s Comment: Our often culturally challenged reviewer is in this case, surprisingly correct. In the Chinese Zodiac, 2025 is the year of the snake, specifically the Wood Snake. the sixth animal in the 12 year cycle. The snake symbolizes wisdom, intelligence, transformation and renewal.

Final Rating: In This Instant it’s a 14 out of 20
