Drank it and failed to save it before crushing for recycling, I wasn't able to keep the can for my collection. I guess I will have to splurge on another 4-pack to add it in. I have reviewed a different Half Acre selection before, the Over Ale, and that was a beer review, not a brewery one, because even though Steve-O and I have discussed it we have never been to the brewery on Lincoln Avenue. Probably try to hit them and maybe Finch while we are at it. Revolution too?
This one is a bold Pale Ale, and it is considered a West Coast Pale Ale, a style I really don't know that much about, unless you mean it tastes darn near a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, which I agree with and recognize as awfully good too. I like a pale ale that is bold in hops but doesn't leave you shocked and wiped out on the side of the road the rest of the night, like some of the heavier SNs (like Torpedo) or a few Lagunitas' will.
It also has an interesting label. It has daisies all over it, which might suggest the nature of an IPA, usually floral and hoppy, or maybe it makes you think of springtime. On the other hand, the only daisy cutters I have ever heard about were those bombs that were very effective in Vietnam which would explode before hitting the ground and be able to wipe out more jungle than other bombs.
Since I am rating it near SNPA, I have to give it a 5.
Poured from the can into my Stella chalice.
Rescued from the back of the bf, originally purchased at Binny's.
ABV: 5.2%.
