Pours an opaque black with a half-finger, frothy tan head. Smells of dark roasted malts, matched with the roasty, bitter characteristics of coffee and chocolate, a caramel sweetness, and a lingering tobacco flavor. If you're a fan of stouts, you're a fan of this beer. — 9 years ago
I usually don't like fruity beer but this was great. Sort of half cider and half kombucha — 10 years ago
If you like Zombie Dust or Citra hopped beer and you can find this try it. Slightly better than ZD in my opinion. — 10 years ago
Tasty! Gone Away IPA by Half-Acre Beer Co. — 9 years ago
Hard to find but I love it! It's like a dry apple wine with a little sparkle. Only 5.5% alcohol, 130 calories, and 7 grams of sugar. It's nice to sip on when you want a beverage with half the alcohol content of wine without switching to beer. — 9 years ago
Excellent 200 case production of Jack Bittner. Half ton per acre, elegant wild red berry fruit. Long and silky. — 9 years ago
I forgot how good this IPA was. Had it about 2 Christmas ago in a growler. My brother @notrog gave me a growler of this. It was so good then, it is so good now. And now that its in bombers, it might be my favorite bottled IPA from NYS. The hops shine through on this one nicely. If I'm not mistaken, I smell some Nelson Sauvin hops. Juicy, fresh fruit, its tropical fruit, citrus fruit some tree fruit too. Great malt profile that sweetens up the bitterness from the hops perfectly. Clean dry finish keeps you coming back for more. Balanced. Only down fall, the midpalate might be a bit short or watery. Go find this from @singlecutbeer and enjoy. #beer #craft #craftbeer #craftbeerny #nysbeer #nydrinksny #tasteny #singlecut #astoria #queens #billy #ipa — 9 years ago
This year's Zwanze is a new version of Cuvée de Florian, which is a beer Jean made for his son. It's basically Iris (hoppy lambic) aged on a small amount of cherries -- something like half the amount used in the normal Kriek. — 10 years ago
2008 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast Bella Vigna Vineyard
Winemaker's Vineyard
Notes: Steeply sloped (think black diamond for all you folks who snow ski), southeasterly facing hillside. Goldridge loam soils. Two-thirds 777 and a third Swan clone. Ton and a half to the acre. Harvested on October 3rd.
Winemaker's Tasting Notes: 100% French Oak, 40% new wood. Punch downs only. Indigenous yeast primary fermentation and natural completion of ML. Unfined, unfiltered. Lighter shade of ruby in color. Big, floral nose of rose petal, dark red fruits, sassafras tea, and soy. Secondary notes of pencil shavings, vanilla, and a touch of bacon fat. Full-bodied, rich flavors of baked berry pie, pomegranate, and baker's chocolate. Finishes super long with flavors of ripe cranberry and bacon fat. 14.5% alcohol. 330 cases produced. — 12 years ago
Half acre makes a great aromatic brew in the D.Cutter. You would be well off having one or two on a sunny day because it's not as heavy as some of its other IPA compatriots! — 9 years ago
Half acre lead feather: nice...
coffee Carmel and some, but not enough, west coast hops to yang the sweetness — 9 years ago
Goes really well with half a smoked meat sandwich from Mile End Deli, BK. Maybe also half a Hoyt dog... Aiight! — 9 years ago
Crisp fall lager.. Super easy drinking but with lots of character.. — 10 years ago
