Half Acre Tuna
Extra Pale Ale. The Tuna is a day long companion, riding along a medium bodied frame before crashing into tropical fruits, a touch of floral, and pine

Clear golden pour with a white head. The aroma is mildly hoppy. It has a light body with lively texture. The taste is mildly bitter with a slightly dry finish.
16 oz. can from Root Cellar. Pours a barely cloudy gold with a finger of off-white head that settles into a thick, uneven bubbly ring and film. Notes of tea, lemon, grass, pine, florals, straw, pale and sweet malts, and a bit of resin. Light-bodied, with a clean, sweet, fruity, bitter mouthfeel in good balance. Nice and crushable.
Can from City Beer SF. Amber color, white head. Bitter taste with citrus, hops, fruits, pine and grass. Bitter finish with citrus, hops, pine, fruits and grass. Very nice APA.
4Oct2018 Sweet tropical fruits, creamy mango, papaya, passion fruit, pine. Slightly hazy,medium, creamy, white head. Light bitter. More tropical fruits,mango,papaya, passion fruit, pine, medium carbonation, medium bodied. Decent. Keg at Euston Tap, Euston.
Oct 2018 - Keg at Euston Tap prior to IMBC. As Half Acre Tuna, 4.7%. Hazed matte orange, translucent and still with a compact enduring white head leaves full lacing. Aroma has some airy cat piss and lemongrass. Body is creamy and rounded with soft carbonation. Low carb for keg. Not such a bad thing. Gives a really creamy mouthfeel. Taste is teacake with apricot bits, melon and building orange citrus peel, little thin papery-leafy hop astringent note detracts from some of the good stuff. Not bad. (6-4-6-3-13=3.2)
[9/6/2018] Draught at Euston Tap in London. Clear golden. Fruity and piney hops, some malt, a bit of diacetyl, sweetish, bitter finish, medium-bodied.
Keg at the Euston Tap. Light to mid-gold, clear with a substantial white head. Malt-led aroma, with grapefruit and nectarine hop notes and a touch of vanilla. I don't like the taste: it's too medicinal with an astringent herbal kick in the finish. Bitter aftertaste. Medium to heavy carbonation. Not all that good sadly.
Large can from Good Spirits Co. Hazy orange with a this white head. Sweet tropical fruit aroma, flavour is more tropical fruit with a dry, herby finish
Tap. Clear golden color with white head. Aroma is super juicy hops, melon, resinous. Taste is resinous, tropical fruits, toasted malts, earthy, quite a bitterness in the back. Oily mouthfeel with low carbonation. Very good!
16 oz beer from belmont station. Pours a hazy amber color. Hints of grapefruit and grapefruit rind with a little bit of herbs on the backend. Nice for an extra pale ale.
Clear golden in color... Aroma of light malts, citrus, bread... Flavor is light bodied, bready malts, light bitterness, citrus hops, grassy notes on finish.. Solid
From tap at The Ginger Man - Boston. Light unclear dark golden color with white head. Malty and hoppy aroma, caramel, citrus, floral, grass, light pine. Sweet and bitter taste. Medium oily body with soft carbonation.
The aroma is citrusy, piney, grassy and full of grapefruit and lemon. The color is straw yellow and the head is white and foamy. The taste is clean and crisp and full of grapefruit, pine, citrus, grass and orange. A nice beer!
Can 1 pint. Pours a clear golden with a small, white head. Malty - almost lagerish - nose with very subdued hops. Medium body, malty sweet with some late bittering hops. Not much focus on the aromatics, but neat and old school in a nice kinda way. 210818
What a number of brewers would call a session IPA. Fruity aroma on a light body. Fresh taste and light finish. I am glad there is no actual tuna in this.
Can. Beer Central, Sheffield. A passable six-ish weeks old. Nose has fairly clean, biscuit malts. Notes of stone fruit. Floral herb. Some medicinal, sticking plaster thing going on. Taste is a little sweet, with a moderate, herbal bitterness. Medium body. Lots of foamy carbonation. A bit drying. Herby bitterness to finish.
Can from Cork & Cask. Hazy golden body with a thin white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of orange pith and herbs. Flavour of lemon, peach and menthol. Thin to medium body with an oily texture. Soft fizz. It’s clean and easy drinking but not very exciting.
great pale ale. double ingredients. perceived bitterness high. on tap at the source. Thanks Mr. Bartender for recommending I do not miss it.
On tap at Cap Tap. Pours clear gold with a thick white head and a citrus aroma. There is a medium-bodied pale malt flavor with a dry bitter finish.
Can from All Good Beer Maltby Street Market. Hazy amber colour lasting cream head. Lovely grapefruit and tropical fruit aroma and flavour. Good in mouth, bit harsh on the carbonation on the finish. Leaves a lovely fruit juice flavour on the finish. Good APA. Drink all day my friend.
Can from Craft Brewed. In Nash distro for CBC. Pours a clear copper with a finger of foam that lingers. Grapefruit, iyokan and pineapple aromas with some pine. Light, but great balance. Perfect malt to hop ratio for a session IPA. Bitter, zesty finish. Another winner from Half Acre.
Can @ The Mansfield. Pours golden with a white head. Aroma of malt, flowers, tropical fruit, peach, sweet oranges, little grapefruit. Flavor is light bitter, malt, flowers, fruity hops, sweet citrus, light piney. Medium body, average carbonation, light bitter finish. 260418
Pint can. Nose luscious paper, wood, heavy tropical fruit (pineapple, papaya, lesser mango), floral. Pour ultra clear, ultra-saturated golden with strong carbonation and a very large, foamy off-white head. In the mouth, strongly oily, light-medium sweet, light-medium bitter, beautiful rounding tanginess / straight tartness, Simcoe/Mosaic paper scratch, fruit juice without too much rind or even peel, great meeting of citrus and the tropics, little bit musky. Soft and oily body is only medium and occasionally lighter, but always smooth with growing spicy character and a whistle-clean finish. Soft pale malt at just the right level for this kind of beer. No sign of alcohol and doesn't taste at all stripped down. Phenomenally drinkable. [2018.04.24: 4.2]
16 oz can. Pours golden with tall, long-lasting, fluffy white head and nice lacing. Aroma is of citrusy hops, mango and bready malt. Body is light and crisp. Herbal hops dominate the palate with ripe fruit and bready malt in the background. Finish is long and dry. OK brew.
