Cloudy orange. Medium-sized, fizzy head. Mostly citrus/grapefruit with some herbs in the aroma. Moderately bitter taste. Light-bodied. Easy to drink.

Great beer.light drinker but a nice mouthful of flavor.

 

A: Bright golden-orange shows a deep haziness factor with an ivory toned head of one inch. No lacing as the head was weakly holding with a short retention. A good fury of micro-effervesce. Love the bright coloring and juicy haziness.

S: Breakfast fruit of green melon, guava, and fresh pineapple juice. Wet, juicy, and fresh bursting with peaches and mangoes. Strong awareness with hints of wet grassiness and semi-dry oranges round out.

T: Bittering citrus peel and orange peel for flavor on the open. Grassy bitterness, light dry, some hay-wheat dryness. Yeasty dry peach and pineapple, barley with some semi-dry oranges. Some pine hopping with a good overall mixture and balance. Some wheat and cracker reference.

M: Strong vibrant carbonation leaves a good tingle on the tongue. Medium light body, pale dry grains and barley.

O: At 4.2% punches a ton of hop flavor/bitterness. Easy drinking and light body, very crisp with a lingering grassy dry tropical orange bitterness that stays with you. Drinks much bigger then anticipated. Great fullness per abv.

Not typically fond of the session ales but for a 4.3%er this one pretty much delivers. Golden and hazy out of the can and just enough hops on the nose. This has some nice rounded citrusy flavors and could balance between sweet and dry. They were a lovely beach brew this past summer!

Welcome back to my Happy CAN A New Singlecut Be All The Beer That It Takes To Make Me Happy On A Sunday (Week 724)?!? It is to be a CANcerted effort to drink, review and rate some beers in the furtherance of The CANQuest (tm) while also taking part in NBS. As always, thoughts & opinions expressed are not necessarily my own. Stamp help out!

From the CAN: "Rulpsen says: 'Come visit our brewery!"; "SingleCut Beersmiths is proud to maintain the American tradition of beer locally made from craft by zealots/lunatics who believe hard work, truth, pride and passion should always come before profit."

I love hearing the Crack! of a CAN as its vent is opened. The label mentioned "unfiltered" so I began with a slow, gentle Glug until I realized that it was futile & went with a harder C-Line Glug. This produced just over a finger of foamy, soapy, rocky, eggshell-white head that quickly fell to wisps. Color was a murky, cloudy, turbid Golden-Amber (SRM = > 5, < 7). Wow! Nose was very fruity, like a combination of sweet oranges, mangoes, papayas, guavas & passion fruits. Mmm. Mouthfeel was surprisingly medium-to-full, not quite creamy, but close. The taste was not as intensely fruity as the nose had led me to expect. Instead, it had a very pleasant bitterness (CAN is marked as 66 IBU) to offset the fruitiness noted on the nose. I am not saying that it was not tropical & fruity, but I am saying that it was not cloyingly sweet. It made for a pleasant interlude following one that was less enjoyable. Finish was semi-dry, not bad for a Session AIPA. I found it to be rather refreshing overall.
