A modern pale ale with harmonious contours

Crush Hour’s signature rests on a precise dialogue between cereal sweetness and hop freshness. Extra Pale malt establishes a delicate foundation, while wheat and oats add a rounder, velvety sensation. This structure gives the beer a supple mouthfeel, particularly enjoyable for approaching the world of NEIPAs and modern IPAs with confidence. Citra hops brighten the overall profile with delicate citrus notes, without steering the tasting experience towards overly pronounced bitterness. The result is a Hazy Pale Ale that is both expressive and accessible, capable of appealing to the curious drinker and the connoisseur seeking an effortlessly enjoyable craft beer. A restrained brewing composition in which freshness always takes centre stage.

A composition designed for delicacy

Vocation Brewery creates Crush Hour 2026 using Extra Pale malt, wheat and oats. These ingredients form the cereal foundation of this blonde craft beer and contribute to its hazy appearance, characteristic of the Hazy Pale Ale style. Citra is the hop specified in the recipe, chosen for its ability to evoke citrus with vibrancy and finesse. The beer retains an alcohol content of 4.6% ABV, a balance that makes it easy to enjoy over a light meal or an extended conversation. Packaged in a 330 ml can, Crush Hour lends itself equally well to attentive individual tasting and spontaneous convivial moments. The recipe is also suitable for vegans. However, it contains malted barley, wheat and oats, and contains gluten.
