Location: Draft at The Growler, 4/10/13
Aroma: The nose has some citrus, herbal, and pine hops, caramel malts, and some toast as well
Appearance: This one has a dark red pour with a beige head, and fairly thick, heavy lace
Flavor: The taste is similar to the nose component-wise, it leans bitter without too much sweetness
Palate: The body of this one is medium and it has a decent mouthfeel, the finish is on the dry side
Overall Impression: I thought this was a perfectly acceptable hoppy red beer. It isn't a standout for the style, but it is pretty clear between this and the Half Stack (vs. the Lagrrr) that Singlecut, so far at least, does ales better than lagers.

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7.5
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.

Drought. Red amber color, creamy small beige head, alcohol aroma with a slightly bitter taste, average carbonation, long finish. The alcohol taste is probably due to rum barrels. Interesting beer.

Tap at Brewers choice. Pours hazy yellow orange. Nose of citrus and yeast. Tastes of oranges, herbal, yeasty, floral, and maybe some wood. Light and refreshing and much better then most "pale lagers"

Anchored Inn, Brooklyn tap ($7): Pours mahogany color (hehe) with an off-white head. Aroma is earthy hops and caramel malts. This seemed like a hoppy, earthy brown ale to me at first. It was drinkable. Somewhat interesting aftertaste, but ultimately, this was not a memorable beer .

Keg at The Pony Bar UES, NYC. Pours clear gold with a small, white foam head. Lovely aroma with good urine notes, orange and other citrus, background pine. Medium to big sweet flavor with some spicy pine notes, a bit more pee, some gritty earth and grass, orange and grapefruit. Full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Lightly resinous to finish with continued pee, sturdy citrus fruits, resinous pine, palate-kicking earth, mild pale malts and bread. Great stuff. Well balanced. Exceptionally drinkable.
