Not Your Father's Hazy Orange
Not Your Father's (NYF)

Ah, it is times like these that make my heart smile! I was on an excursion to the western end of the county & on the way back, I was inspired to stop in at Subs & Six Packs for a look-see. I was flabbergasted to see this latest entry available as a single & snapped it up. Upon returning home, I noted that it did not exist on this site. No problem, but the next step was to take and resize what has become the approved pic. That accomplished, I built the entry, submitted some Notes & the picture & became its first reviewer. Perfect!

From the Bottle: ""Small Town Brewery makes specialty beers that utilize unique ingredients with an unmistakable taste of nostalgia[.]"; "We've taken you favorite nostalgic flavor & made it a bit more grown up."; "It's like having a sleepover except now you are watching the sunrise on the beach looking for your other flip flop."

I Pop!ped the cap & since it was already identified as "Hazy", I went with an aggro C-Line pour. This was not very productive as I did not get any head at all and just a light amount of fizzing. Hazy?!? It was a downright cloudy neon-orangish Yellow-Gold (SRM = 4 - 5), reminiscent of a glass of Tang. Wow. Nose had a pronounced orange-y citrusiness, but I continued to think of Tang. Mouthfeel was thin-to-medium, just above watery. The taste was really tart, quite orange-y and very much like Tang! Finish was very tart and quite dry as a result. I'm not sure quite what they were going for in this one, but I was not very impressed nor enamored. A definite one & done! YMMV.
