Shout out to Ryan Brown Art for sharing the comic world of God Hates Astronauts with us. Very far out. Beer Hates, the skimped name we toss around the brewery, is big, beautiful, 7.8% abv SMaSH beer that emphasizes the hardstyle lock-up of Vienna malt & our selected Citra. Ripe apricots & red berry hard candies float on a measured toast and heft. Though we’ve pushed around the brewing & fermentation program on this beer, its bare bones hammer has been around for 10 years or so. Half Acre Beer Hates Astronauts is right on time for those with an extra day added to your weekend.

American Sardine Bar: pours light orange with a beige head. Aroma is loads of citrus, rounded fruitiness. Taste is sweet, light bitterness. Pleasant.

Draught @ Beermiscuous, Chicago (6/10/23). Listed as 7.8% DIPA. Extremely hazy dark yellow like apricot juice with a small foamy light beige head, faint citrus aroma, adequate carbonation, medium bitter unripe mango-citrus taste, coriander flavor, thin body, long unripe mango finish. Very satisfying DIPA.

Can. Pours a slightly hazy gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has light pine and a bit of citrus rind with light papaya underlying. Flavor has more mango and citrus with a light rind and pine bite in the finish.

The aromas are lots of sweat with some weed and a little citrus. Flavors are similar to nose, leaning bitter with some sweet and carbonation to balance. Great body and bittersweet finish. Very good drinking beer.
