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 to tulip.
Appearance: burnt orange color with some cloudiness but also with some transparent tones along the sides of the glass; one finger white foamy head sat on top which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: pineapple - sweet and a touch of tart; subtle mangoes far down in there; clean malts
Flavor: leans towards more of a juicier sweet side but develops some light bittersweetness with more sips; lean aftertaste of tropical fruits and malts
Texture: medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness along the tongue; finishes cleanly through the tropical fruity hoppy tones
Overall: nice enough NEIPA I believe I could return to.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: burnt orange color with a one finger white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: floral to citrusy to subtle peachy and grassy fresh hoppiness; light clean malts underneath
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together bittersweetly with a touch more bitterness invading than I expected; mild aftertaste of citrusy and peachy tones
Texture: medium bodied, leaning towards being a sipper; fair smoothness along the tongue; finishes semi-crisp with a touch of juicy hop tones
Overall: pretty good NEDIPA I could come back to.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: semi-rustic copper colored cloudiness with a two finger white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: peachy/plum to orangey hoppiness with some clean malts
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together bittersweetly and juicy; keen aftertaste of some plum to orangey hoppy notes
Texture: light to medium bodied, good sessionability; moves nicely across my tongue; finishes juicy through those hop tones
Overall: pretty nicely done NEIPA I could have again.

Can to lager glass.
Appearance: glossy yellow to ruddy orange color with a decent transparency about it. Two and a half fingers of white foamy head diminished nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: strong grassy to citrusy hop notes burst over any sense of trying to find any sort of Kolsch in this, is that there? Hmmmm, almost felt like I spent too much time looking for the Kolsch
Flavor: pretty much copies the aromas - very hoppy all around; mild aftertaste of grassy hops
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness over the tongue; finishes grassy to citrusy hoppy toned
Overall: this is not a Kolsch in the original German style, however there is something I somewhat liked about this, personally. That this is a nice easy drinker one could slam some cans of in the park, fishing or whatever else someone wants to do on a Summer's day.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: burnt orange cloudiness with a wisp of a little white foamy head which slid fairly quick, no lace
Aroma: melons, apricots and freshly cut grassy hops up front smoothing out around a clean malt base
Flavor: bittersweet blend of the prior noted aromas; mild aftertaste of malts and melons
Texture: medium bodied, leaning towards being a sipper; the carb level seemed appropriate; some smoothness; finishes tropical fruity sweet
Overall: pretty good NEDIPA I believe I could come back to.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: cardboard orange haziness; one finger of white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: light peaches, subtle tangerines then a light waxy/crayon whiff, uhhmmmm, okay, not sure where that came from (seemed kinda off?, I believe so)
Flavor: peaches and tangerines with some malts - somewhat clean-ish, I guess; mild aftertaste of peaches and malts
Texture: medium bodied - maybe a touch under; between sessionable and being a sipper; carb seems appropriate; some smoothness; finishes somewhat juicy but that waxy/crayon thing is back
Overall: not entirely impressed with this one. They've done better.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: orange cardboard haziness with a finger and a half's worth of white foamy head which took it's time to diminish then leave some light lace
Aroma: nice blend of tropical to citrusy hoppiness with some clean malts underneath
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together fairly bittersweet with a semi-bigger blast of sweet juicy tropical hops than I expected; slight aftertaste of the tropical fruity hops
Texture: medium bodied, leaning towards being a sipper; mild smoothness but also noticeable hop abrasion on the tongue; finishes very juicy and semi-dry with the tropical fruits
Overall: pretty good juice I'd have again.

Appearance: pure thick yellowed orange cardboard haziness with a quarter finger's worth of white foamy head which inwardly slid off and barely left any lace.
Aroma: semi-spicy peppermint, subtle whiffs of black pepper and semi-sweet lemony hoppy tones over top of some mangoes and oranges; then a super clean biscuity malt base
Flavor: blends all the prior noted aromas together in a very well balanced approach of spicy to sweet to subtle hoppy bitter; then a mild crisp lemony and pepperminty aftertaste
Texture: medium to full bodied, great sipper; low key carb; extremely smooth along the tongue; finishes peppery crisp and tropical juicy hoppy toned
Overall: what a NEIPA! Wow, I loved it and would definitely have again!
