look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4

Presentation: 12 oz. stubby bottle poured into a pint glass. Served nice and chilled.

Appearance: Really light golden yellow in color. Pours a slight, one finger creamy white head that leaves a nice lacing down the side of the glass. Really clear and light in appearance.

Aroma: Definitely a more tropical hop character in this one. Very light malt character. Lots of pineapple, mango and pine notes.

Taste: Really nice and flavorful given the ABV. Big pineapple, mango and bitter pine notes. Some grapefruit rind in there as well. Really drinkable with a nice clean finish.

Mouthfeel: Light bodied and really crisp. Spot on for the style.

Overall, a really refreshing and easy to drink session-type IPA. The hop flavors were strong enough that I was slightly surprised to see the actual ABV. The tropical flavor profile and clean finish make this really easy to drink and right up my alley. Very good, perfect for warmer weather.

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.
