Description
SingleCut Beersmiths was founded by Queens/NYC born, music-obsessed brewer Rich Buceta, whose life-long passions led to a place where hops and vinyl could shine side by side. After years of homebrewing and professional stints around NYC, Rich was true to his dream, diving headfirst into the brewing world. “My obsession is creating original hop-driven beer; distinguished by a firm respect and admiration for West Coast pioneers, and bending that to our East Coast / NYC interpretation.” Since opening in 2012, and with the help of an equally talented and devoted team, SingleCut has gained a loyal following throughout the East-Coast’s most respected markets. With his steadfast determination for the perfect pint, Rich penned "Mastery Knows No Shortcut" as the SingleCut mission statement. “It boils down to always demanding greatness, never compromising, and always play it at maximum volume.”

Can from Eddy's Beverage Inc., Saratoga Springs. Opaque, dark yellow, tons of sparkle, ample head with good retention and light lacing. Aroma is berry, stone fruit, hint of ginger ale. Taste follows aroma along with mild, dry malts. Smooth, creamy texture, soft carbonation and dry, crisp finish as taste. Not overpowering but enjoyable.

Can from Eddy's Beverage Inc. Saratoga Springs. Opaque, dark yellow-light brown, nice sparkle, thin cap of head, light web of lacing. Aroma is strong, overripe stone fruit, hint of alcohol, caramel malts. Taste follows aroma. Smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Not sure about the freshness here. Overripe fruit, a smidge of alcohol and then quite malty. Seems like aged.

I have another 16 oz can from Half Time, acquired a few months ago, this time a hazy imperial IPA. Ready to go with a globe glass, I tilt the can inside. The appearance is a darker hazy gold with a proper head of unquestionably white foam. I smell lots of yellow fruit, tropical and some citrus. The taste follows the scent closely with mangoes, limes, white bread, a touch of pineapple and field. More sweet than bitter but there is a small unexpected bitterness in any case. I get a creamy sensation. A decent beer in the range of the style, no real breakout.

Tapped from a keg at Bottle Caps in Watertown. An off-white head on a rich golden body. The nose is a real hit with dank pinyness, lemon and a touch of orange. Nice fresh and distinct hop tastes - grapefruit pulp, orange rind, pine and a touch of peach. Complimented by soft sweet malt and a touch of honey. Really solid density on the body and the carbonation helps keep the finish clean. A-1.

A popping citrus and tropical hop nose. Grapefruit juice colour with a pillowy white head. The taste profile starts with a wonderful collage of fresh juicy fruity hop tastes including lemon, grapefruit, melon and orange. A sweet malt backbone is softed by medium-high coarbonation. A nice medium rich body. Oddly, though, the power of the hop profile dissipates a good deal as you work your way down the bottle

A massive and complex imperial stout. A puffy tan head on a dense, near black body. The nose features creamy coffee, chocolate and toffee. The taste profile is rich and complex, featuring fresh ground coffee, toffee, mild chocolate, grassy hops, butter and crème brule. A solid undertaste of ripe dark berries sets a sumptuous taste profile off. Superior

A light fluffy head on a thin golden body. The nose features grapefruit and floral hops with a touch of grain. A well balanced and refreshing taste profile. A range of hops stand forward including tastes of citrus, grapefruit, fresh orange and floral accents. Grain and honey underpin the hops. A solid medium body with a very clean, dry finish make this a stellar new IPA.

Can from One Stop Market. Cloudy, orange juice with tons of sparkle, large head with excellent retention and splotchy lacing. Aroma is strong tangerine, apricot, slight bubblegum, bread. Taste is strong tangerine with a little bit of cream, slight bubblegum, mild cracker. Frothy texture, average carbonation and dry, finish as taste. Nothing wrong with it but not an earth mover. Decent.
