For me it doesn't have one dominant flavour or aroma; imagine getting your favourite sweets like skittles, popping a handful in your mouth and chewing them together. That is Krush in a nutshell, or should that be fruitbowl!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe've developed and tested our own all grain kit with Krush as a single hop.
