CRANK THE HOPS to the point right before tastebuds bleed with a PNW / Aussie blend. Super smooth malt base, pine resin, bright tangerine and pineapple hop flavor and aromatics. At 105 IBU’s, “Half-Stack” is a relative term – As we like to say, “If it’s too hoppy, you’re too old!”

Location: Draft at The Growler, 4/10/13
Aroma: The nose has some caramel/crystal malts to go along with the pine and herbal hops
Appearance: It poured a clear reddish-orange color with a small head and medium-heavy lace
Flavor: Tastes light sweet, malts are there, but this it is more about the mid-heavy hop bitterness
Palate: The body is medium, it has average carbonation, a decent mouthfeel, and a dry finish
Overall Impression: I thought this was a plenty solid IPA. I didn't have huge expectations after trying their Lagrrrrrr a few months back, but I'm happy to say that I was pleasantly surprised. The Dean (which I tried the same day) was solid as well, and I've heard good things about the Billy Full-Stack, so I'm starting to like what I see from Singlecut.
