NYC Trip Beer #15. Second beer at Tørst. This beer had me raving. I can’t believe it is low alcohol. I beg of you Evil Twin, make this in bigger batches, can it, and sell it in suitcases that I could take to the beach. Pours hazy and orangish. Smells piney with hints of Christmas spices. Tastes of passion fruit and citrus. Well carbonated thanks to Tørst’s insane draft system. I think many beer drinkers would be hard pressed to differentiate between this and any top notch IPA. Love, love, loved it. Draft - Tørst - New York, NY

Overall this is still pretty enjoyable, and quite flavorful for such a low session beer. However, it’s a little off kilter and it’s not impressive to look at it, but tastes surprisingly well.. surprising. I would have this again.

Bottle from the Charleston Beer Exchange. Murky copper pour with a milky eggshell head that coats the inside of the glass. Earthy, spicy, grassy, malty nose. Extremely dusty and dirty. Bottom line, this one is more flavorful than one would expect from a low alcohol brew. Not bad.

Bottle from Greenville Beer Exchange. Pouts dark orange with a thin white head that leaves trace lacing. Nice pineapple notes on the nose. Wasn’t expecting that from a low alcohol beer. Nicely balanced bitterness. Keeps thing nice and tidy without being overpowering. Very nice!

Bottle from CBX. Wow, nice job on this one. Clear light golden pour with a small white head. Big citrusy aroma with lots of floral notes. Nose is legit. Pleasure to smell. Flavors were citrusy and big time bitter. Body was light without being watery. Real nice job. Best beer I've had >3% no doubt.

Draft at Redlight. Load this bad boy up in a beer bong for me please. Clear golden pour with a white head. Grassy, citrus hops with some grainy pale malts throughout the aroma and flavor profile. Light, crisp hoppy and refreshing. Definitely crushable.

On tap at Torst. Pours a light hazy golden orange with a thin white foam head. Aroma of grapefruit and earthiness. Has a light sweet citrus taste with a slight hop layer. Too light but plenty of flavor.

March 2013. Amber color with a white head. For a beer that light and with so low alcohol, it really delivers. Good hoppiness and flavors. I can see this become my summer beer.
