Double Daisy Cutter - Capra
Half Acre Beer Company

L - Clear'ish, with just enough heft, lace, and murk to warn the amateurs.
S - Fantastic WC IPA whiff, with pine, cedar, and some tropical notes to balance
T -oh where it shines - solid, takes the aromas, puts them on the palate with not a hole that is noticeable.
F - Great carbonation, good palate saturation, nothing dynamite.
O - another great DDC variant, although I'd hope for an Enigma variant to keep it dry and interesting in the end.
Probably won't happen though. :)

 

 

On tap at the nova. White head with lace. Golden colored.

Classic ipa. Floral, piney, earthy. Light citrus. Bready malts. Medium bodied. Light bitterness.

 

 

 

 

16oz can poured into 10oz goblet. Poured a lightly hazy yellow-orange color with just a thin cap of white head that had no retention or lacing.

A big, bright hop scent popped out of the can, some pine upfront with citrus in the middle and back, and a slight tartness on the finish. pretty similar on the tongue, with the addition of just enough hop bite to make things interesting.

The body was on the light side of medium, smooth, and had a crisp finish. Drinkability was very good, i would happily drink more of these. Overall, a very nice brew, certainly worth your time if you get the chance.

The NEIPAs with 8% and more seem to fill me up too easily but this delicious brew went down smoothly and I could have easily followed it with 2 or 3...OK, 5 more. My local beer store guy was really talking up the floral aromas, which were nice but not something I'd hype over the taste. Part bitter, part sweet with a nice mouthfeel and great finish.
Enjoyed this on the first day of Spring and I'd say this is the perfect vehicle to melt the Northeast snow and officially head into Spring.
I will definitely be picking a few more of these up whenever they're available locally. Great job, Half Acre!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Golden orange in color with very good clarity. Poured with a moderate, creamy, bright white foam with medium low retention. Fruity melon and stone fruit aromas, mango, over ripe apricot, with medium malty and caramel malt aromas. Medium bodied with medium light carbonation and light warmth from the middle to the end. Malty flavors up front followed by earthy and mellow fruit hop flavors, berries, melon, and over-ripe citrus. Medium high hop bitterness through the middle followed by fruity berry and melon flavors on the back end. Solid malty flavors throughout with tasty caramel notes. Pleasant boozy warmth at the end. Finished with mellow earthy hop bitterness, dark berry and fruit notes and stone fruit flavors that linger a bit. Unique, subtle, mellow hop character with a robust malty back drop. Great balance and look. Very drinkable.
