Why wait until 5 o’clock? Our 4:59 “little” IPA packs the flavor and aroma of a “bigger” IPA into a crushable session beer. Hop-bursting techniques give 4:59 a citrusy, delicious bitterness that dominates its sweet barley malt. Drink confidently without sacrificing the IPA flavor you love.

Sampled from the tap at the Ocean Beach location. Pours a clear light gold with a white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has lots of grass and hay with a bit of grain underlying. Flavor is similar with grass and hay up front, some citrus rind and a touch of pine on the finish.

From a can. Hazy dull light orange with a sticky thin white head and lacing. Aromas are plain dull pale malts, a little grassy bitterness and a not very enticing papery bland flavors. Low bitterness and a clean palate.

Can @ home shared with Joes. A tad hazy yellow golden color, medium sized white head. Aroma is a bit unfresh to be honest, a bit cheesy. After a while though that seems to subside a bit. Flavor is decently malty and hoppy. Decent body and carbonation. Ok beer.
