Brewer's Favorite no 1 from Crooked Spider is a New England DIPA that showcases brewer Niels Beekhuizen's commitment to distinctive, experimental brewing. At 8% ABV, this beer builds on a rare Eclipse hop base, then layers in Galaxy and Citra Cryo for a full, fruit-forward profile. The result is a hazy IPA with an orange hue and pronounced hop character.

The nose reveals grassy and lightly hoppy notes. On the palate, hop bitterness leads, supported by the fruity esters that define the modern New England style. This is a beer for hop enthusiasts seeking something beyond the ordinary.
