Daisy Cutter pours a clear copper gold with a 1cm foamy white head. The aroma is great juicy fruity hops. The taste is a bitter earthy pine, malt sweetness & biscuit then some fruitiness in the finish. A really well made 5.2% pale ale which can stand beside many IPAs. I can see why it is their flagship (I overheard the bartender saying it is 70% of their sales!) it really grows on you.

16oz can, courtesy of Frank, pours with a slightly hopped hazed gold to copper body that supports a thin light tan head. The aroma offers up an inviting mix of citrusy juiciness and malts as well as floral hoppiness. The taste delivers a pleasing array of bitter to resiny hoppiness balanced out by a smooth malty backbone. There are moments of smooth hop flavor but it gets increasingly resiny and grassy into the finish. Lovely Pale.

Location: Draft at State and Lake, 6/24/14, Rating #3737
Aroma: This one has a nice, clean, hoppy aroma, citrus, and a bit of caramel
Appearance: This one pours a gold-orange color, with an off-white head and decent lace
Flavor: It has a medium bitter hop flavor, with some balancing malts to it
Palate: The body is medium, leaning light, with a clean and easy drinking feel
Overall Impression: This one seems to be all over Chicago, and for good reason, it is a nice, easy drinking, solidly hopped, APA. I can see why this would be popular.

Draft at Binny’s in Chicago - a decent apa, but nothing that I think would stand out in a crowd or a blind tasting - hazy orange - aroma ajd flavor of lightly biscuity malt and moderately dank, citric hops - there’s not much else to say, really - solid, drinkable, clean, but nothing amazing.
