Half Acre (2020)

Someone get this guy in beer commercials. You couldn’t come up with a better image that screams craft beer if you tried.

 

I thought Rest was really fabulous.

 

Had a curb side order picked up yesterday at the Lincoln location, for Tome, Crocus and Classic Future. I haven’t been drinking beer during this ‘shelter-in-place’ order and this was the first time I had Tome. I really liked it. A 5.5% hazy for that price will be tough to beat in this area. Citrusy flavor with a midly dry, bitter finish is perfect. I had Crocus afterwards, which I could tell was more fruity, more mango-peach flavor, sweeter and thicker....but definitely not as easy drinking. Crocus is a beer I could have 1, maybe 2 pours at the most, before it starts feeling like a chore. I could see Tome becoming a regular in my fridge this summer though. Haven't cracked a Classic Future yet from this batch.

 

Anyone opened a Catch Hell lately? Wonder how it's tasting as I've thought about trying to trade for a few cans.

 

Haha. I have one sitting in my fridge for a friend and every time I open the fridge I want to drink it. Wish this damn pandemic would end so I can give it to him.

 

Noticed the Classic Future cans were a bit 'past their prime' even before looking at canning date (which is 01/27/20). Bit maltier and sweeter than expected. I actually enjoyed it still. I picked up the cans from Half Acre Lincoln on Sunday, so for those severely allergic to IPAs older that 2 weeks from canning,.. you may want to steer clear.

 

Fader (12 oz 6-packs) is back Thursday:

Nice. I dig the packaging. As well as the slick new label.

 

Thanks, I was having 0 luck getting that image to display via mobile.

And yeah, they're cool cans, and go well with some of the other recent ones (Tome comes to mind).

You know...would it kill 'em to make this one year-round?

 

According to the IG post it will be year round now! I’ve got Dovetail cans packed into every inch of the fridge (and a new mini fridge in the cellar from the overflow, zero self control with Dovetail and no regrets) and now I have to figure out room for this?! ‘Tis an amazing problem to have!!

 

Honestly must've missed that part, because I just read it again. Awesome news!

 

Yo. More HABC makes it to the Front Range. I am a happy, happy man.
As happy as can be until I can get back to HABC. Cheers... gonna be a good week, or two.

 

La Cumbre

 

I still haven't had Tome.

 

Had tome to do what?

 

Anyone had Frames? Gorgeous label and I'm always intrigued by the use of plums.

 

I had it a couple of weekends ago, and thought it was excellent. The plum aroma was magical. Wasn't overly sour. Liked it more than Wings and Rest, both of which were above the acidity level I prefer.

Of the recent Wylds to come out of HA. Keeping Together (I know, but I bought it with all of these others)>>>>>Rings>Frames>>>>>>>>>>Wings>>>>>>Rest

 

Thanks for the reviews, I wanted to support Half Acre so did Frames as a curbside pickup yesterday and it was delicious.

 

For what it's worth, their regular ol Acclimated pale ale is now my fave, over the Elevated IPA, the latter of which was my standard for western IPAs (not west coast) for a long time. But that Acclimated? Damn. Good. Beer.

 

If you don't like this batch of Navaja, there's something wrong with you. Just trying to adorn this feed from time to time. Cheers from the Front Range!
