Got Caught In The Spotlight
SingleCut Beersmiths

Hazy orange color. Big, white head.Tropical fruits, limes, and malt in the aroma. Moderately bitter taste with rather dry, hoppy finish. Well balanced.

 

Completely opaque yellow body. White head, falls fast, medium lacing. Pineapple flowers, honey guava on the nose. Taste is hoppy, a bit of booze, some tropical fruits, mostly dry and a bit of green pepper and lemon. Medium full mouthfeel with the hop and alcohol at the end.

 

 

The text on the bottom of the can is squished but it appears to read: "11/15/21"

Appearance: The body of the beer is a very pale straw yellow and it is hazy but it is very easy to make out text and other objects through the beer. It looks a bit like home-made lemonade but more yellow. The head is very large, white, fluffy, and it has rocky lacing on the glass. It has very good head retention.

Aroma: The aroma is slightly spicy with notes of bay leaf and white pepper with floral notes akin to wild flowers. Mostly it has this floral and white pepper note.

Taste: Up front there aren't any obvious flavors. As it approaches the middle of the tongue it takes on some white pepper and ant character. Some alcohol comes through in the middle. Towards the back of the mouth it is more ant-like and a tad grassy. Slight bitter herb and grass note in the aftertaste.

Mouthfeel: It is light bodied and semi-wet feeling with some herbal bitterness in the finish. It is drinkable.

Overall: It is a hazy IPA that focuses more on floral, herbal, and spicier hop notes. The alcohol comes through and it is a tad grassy. The peppery and somewhat ant-like flavors are a bit off-putting but the floral characters are a bit nice. It feels like a pretty average attempt at what most would consider a New England Style IPA. I wouldn't buy it again or recommend it but it's drinkable and it is a nice looking beer.

 

Pours a pale yellow with a white frothy head that leaves some nice lace.

Tropical fruit, citrus, floral bouquet, and sticky sweet malt.

Pineapple, orange, star fruit, and toffee malt.

 

 

 

 

Cloudy, peach juice look. Moderate head, but it sticks around. Some thicker smudges of streaky lace.

I get the aroma from the pour without placing my nose close to the glass. Floral start which morphs into a biting unsweetened grapefruit and pine resin. Harsh and bitter.

The malt base is smooth and semisweet. The bitterness completely dominates quickly, a definite hop bomb. The aftertaste is predictably nearly forever. The carbonation leans high, cutting into the richer body. Overall, hopheads will rejoice. You will, too, if you don't wish to have balance in your beer.

 

Hazy yellow with a foamy head. Aroma of fresh citrus, very nice citrus aroma. Taste is balanced between sweet and bitter. Flavor is fresh citrus fruit; grapefruit, tangerine and lemon with pineapple. It's really good. Mouthfeel is medium with soft carbonation and clean dry finish. Overall, I will be looking for this. This a nice NEIPA.

-densely cloudy yellow can pour with a 1 cm cap of fine foam.
The aroma is of orange juice with a slight bitter note.
The flavor is of orange, grapefruit and grapefruit zest.
The finish is dry. Zest flavor persists.
This is not sweet at all. There is a lot of flavor in a relatively light-bodied brew.

This is labeled as a DDH IPA but lacks the aroma and flavor of many other Singlecut offerings
