Bottle poured into a Stella Chalice. Julian dated 260, or bottled 9/17/12.

A: Crystal clear straw, golden color. Two fingers of sudsy white head retain moderately, nice lacing. At first glance, it resembles a typical pale lager.

S: Big time citrus, earthy pine, lemon peel and floral aromas. Very little in the way of malt, some light sweetness. Very nice aroma.

T: Clean lemon grass, light pine, citrus hops. Clean, toasty pale malt sweetness on the finish. Its bitter, but nowhere near a hop-bomb. Finishes clean and dry.

M: Light bodied, prickly carbonation. Drinks extremely easily, refreshing as all hell, could kill a sixer with no problem at all. Where was this during the summertime?

O: The perfect candidate for a refreshing, flavorful sessioner. Low abv, high drinkability, and all without sacrificing any flavor. Nicely done Lagunitas. Now make this a summer seasonal next year please. Or hell, make it year round and put it in 12 packs!

DayTime packs an absurd amount of flavor and taste for a sub-5.0% ABV beer and gives Stone’s Levitation a run for its money as the most delicious sessionable craft beer in existence. I’ve searched in vain for the hop profile, but I am fairly certain that DayTime is brewed with copious amounts of Citra. In fact, following my second or third time having this delightful brew, I realized what it reminded me of most — Zombie Dust Light, if such a thing existed. DayTime is pure beer-drinking delight, and the only misstep Lagunitas has taken here is the fact that it was issued as a seasonal/limited release. Still waiting for DayTime to get the call to the year-round big leagues; in the meantime will just have to wait for the 2013 iteration this fall.
