Lychee IPA
Half Acre Beer Company

Tasted in a pint glass from draft at O'Toole's on April 22, 2016. Look is hazy orange gold with an off- white head and spotty lacing. Smell is tropical fruit, earth and yeast with sweet malt aromas. Taste is grapefruit, pine, lychee and sweet malt flavors. Feel is medium in body with a decent balance of bitter and sweet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

8 oz pour in the tap room 

A hazy gold, looks rich and full. Little, white head that fades and left a single ring on the glass as drunk down 
S Lychee adds a fun, unusual funk to the aroma. Tropical and bright, but not overly hoppy. 
T fun and tropical. Bright and a little funky, but still restrained and balanced. Pineapple, dragon fruit, start fruit, perhaps a little banana. Bitter but in a pleasant way, well balanced by the tropical sweetness. 
M smooth and clean. Tastes slightly unfiltered, slightly hazy. 
O Could be really enjoyable on the beach in the summer, a thinking man's summer beer. Very enjoyable and fresh. Unique beer!

 

Draft at the taproom.
Hazy saturated orange, concentric rings of lacing, lasting skim.
Earthy hop aroma, yeast and vague tropical fruit.
Taste is moderately bitter, resiny earthy Azacca with bitter grapefruit peel and some light tropical lychee in the background. Light to medium bodied, ample bitterness, fairly light on the lychee. Overall a nice IPA, just hoped for a little more of a lychee punch.
