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.”

The Sampler, Brooklyn tap: Pours a hazy orange, definitely not white. Aroma is spicy and flowery... quite nice. Taste is pretty nice. A spicy tingle gives this some uniqueness points. Very easy to drink, but not bland or watery. Accessible, but adventurous. Let’s also be clear that this is not a pale lager.

A golden amber ale with a thin lacing light mocha head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with a light orangey character. In mouth, a sweet malt with orange peels, thin and a bit pedestrian.

An orange amber IIPA with a thin lacing off white to mocha head. In aroma, a doughy caramel malt with smooth floral hops, orange pulp, nice. In mouth, a sweet caramel with orange pulp, vinous notes with british hops, not bad.

Decided to get a second flight at Rattle grab a couple more NY rates. Pours clear brown with light head. Nose of malt and toast. Tastes of florals, white pepper, malt, plastic and burnt cheese (kinda like what hits the pan when making grilled cheese). Touch too thin and odd aftertaste.

Drought. Brown with a reddish tint, beige foamy small head, cereal like aroma, semi-sweet hoppy taste, low carbonation, average finish. Tasted a bit weak and flat to me.

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.
