16oz can, dated 07.02.2020, poured into a stemless wine glass.
The beer pours a nice golden color, hazy and cloudy with straw hues and a foamy white head, about a finger and a half tall with excellent retention and lacing. The aroma is nice, dank weediness, hop spice, a little herbal, bright and sweet stone fruits, pale dough and a bit of citrus. The flavors are good, grapefruit juice, lemon peel, very floral with some more dank qualities as it warms, hop spice, peach skin and a lot of crusty cereal grains. The mouthfeel is good, coating and creamy, smooth medium body and a bitter and dry finish.
Verdict: A nice NEIPA from Half Acre. This has a very nice citrus peel character and is one of the more pleasantly malty examples of the style. A bit more herbal and green than I'd like but definitely a satisfying IPA.

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a one pint can on November 9, 2019. Double dry-hopped with Simcoe Cryo, Cashmere, Amarillo and Citra. Notes of tropical fruit punch, peach and light grassiness.

16 oz. can. Hazy pale orange. Smells of tropical fruit and light garlic. Tastes of grainy malt, garlicky hops, and light tropical fruit. Garlicky finish. Medium body. Nice.
