Half Acre Daily Double

I feel lucky that Half Acre Beer Company is within an hour of the house. I like American craft brewers that are willing to make and release one offs on a regular basis. I have yet to have one that I haven’t liked. I knew I couldn’t make it on release day and was surprised, after a phone call on Saturday, that they still had plenty left of Daily Double.

My next thought quickly changed to how to convince the wife to drive out the brewery while on a date night. I barely made the suggestion and my wife was all for it. Awesome. Getting good American craft beer is always easier when the wife is 100% all in.

Daily Double is loaded full of Citra hops. The tropical fruit aroma can be had from a few feet away from the glass. Joined by caramel, bread, and wood, the scent is top notch and mildly remind of Zombie Dust. The taste follows and is quite the easy drinker.

If this became a year-round release, I wouldn’t complain one bit. Time to share with my each coast trading buddies. Enjoy!
