American Pale Ale, 5.2%
Daisy Cutter can be found year-round in its distribution market. I received it through a trade because we don't get it here.
Appearance: Hazy, pale orange straw with minimal head. Nice visible carbonation.
Smell: Citrus -- orange and grapefruit. Sweet but not sickly. Overall, the smell is very hop forward and has some earthy dankness to it in addition to the citrus notes.
Taste: Much like the smell, but a bit sweeter. The malt is a bit more present here, but overall this packs a lot of great hop flavor into a nearly-sessionable beer. Citrus and sweet grass come through again here, as well as some slight toasted bread character -- but it's slight. This is overall very hop-forward.
Mouthfeel: Really great. Light on the palate, despite the big flavor, and a nice dry finish.
Overall: A really impressive pale ale. I love that it comes in a can; in fact, I'm really starting to lean into the "everyone should can" camp, especially when it comes to pale ales and IPAs. This was a slightly older can of Daisy Cutter, and it still tasted pretty fresh. I'd love to get some more of this for Coachella, which doesn't allow bottles inside...
4/5
