Dalecarlia Super Speedway
Other Half Brewing - Center Street

Pale orange, creamy looking head and lacing. Citrusy lemon notes on the smell. Mild notes of orange, pineapple, lemon, and grapefruit on the taste. Lighter to medium bodied, subtle alcohol, dry finish. Not bad, not great.

 

 

 

 

 

 

From a 16oz can, dated 08/19/21. Served in a spiegelau-style IPA glass.

Pours super-pale and hazy, looking like a glass of grapefruit juice. Two fingers of soft, merengue-like suds, excellent retention, a thick foamy cap and a tattered curtain of thin lacing.

Nose is fairly faint, aroma of bitter citrus and pencil eraser.

Taste is thin but zesty, dilute grapefruit juice and grapefruit pith up front. Resinous. Softens and sweetens a bit further into the sip with orange, berry, thin underripe pineapple, and lime, finishing with an eggy sort of custard-like character and a smidge of raw alcohol aftertaste.

Feel is light and zippy, probably medium bodied but feels a lot lighter due to the sharp, zesty, super-tingly carbonation.

Overall… pretty good, I guess? This was a hard one for me to separate taste from mouthfeel because the carbonation was so aggressive it actually interfered with being able to taste the beer or, at least, it affected what I was tasting. Still, for the abv, this was incredibly easy drinking. If the intent is simply to get shit-faced, this would be an excellent way to get the job done.
