It's summer, the sun is out and Half Mast is the perfect way to celebrate. An IPA with a quarter of the alcohol, but not lacking in the flavour, impact balance that you would expect from a Siren beer. This golden coloured IPA has a surprising malt base given it's strength, low bitterness, but it's popping with juicy mango and grapefruit. Truly the perfect summertime drink.

Old rating from 16-06-16 - 330ml bottle. An interesting one with such a low ABV. Pours a orange cloudy colour with a white foamy head that leaves lacings. Aromas of orange, grapefruit & citrus. Taste is very summery with orange, grapefruit, citrus & tropical fruit present as well as grass & hops. Aftertaste is where it's let down I feel with a summery finish with medium bitterness. Very good effort, an interesting one with such a low ABV. and a beer I could have a second off that's for sure.

Tap at Craft Islington. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is impressive for such low alcohol. Plenty of citrus and cat pee. Slightly twiggy. Grapefruit and pineapple. Taste is twiggy, fruity, nice bitterness, pineapple and citrus. If I wasn't ticking I would be drinking this all night.

Lekko slodkawa woda z odnotowywalna goryczka. Aromaty mega lekko: trawiasto-tropikalno-zbozowo-ciutsmrodkowe. Rozczarowanie

Fra fat på Euston Tap West 13 Okt 17. Gylden. Kritthvitt lavt skum. Litt filigranser. Utmerket ferskenaroma. Smaken tørket aprikos. Veldig bra for såpass svakt øl.
