12 oz. bottle.

Light golden straw body. Clear. Finger of creamy, eggshell white head. Good lacing. Big hop nose, with notes of mango, pineapple, grapefruit, mandarin orange, and some pine resin. Faint traces of sugar cookie malt, but this is all about the hops.

Mineral water bitterness starts out, along with lightly toasted grains. Fresh, juicy citrus hop flavors take over, as bitterness increases. Strong flavors of pineapple, orange, mango, cat pee, and pine sap take turns delighting the palate. Some cookie malt underneath it all, but the hops steal the show. Medium bodied with moderately creamy feel. One of the best "session" ipas I have had. Makes me excited for the next arrival of Lagunitas Sucks...

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.
