98/100 Halfway Crooks Beer Collier: A Getaway into Beer Paradise
Before I launch into my overwhelmingly positive review of Halfway Crooks Beer Collier, let’s briefly recap what brewers have to say about it. They unsurprisingly describe their brew as “a cutting edge throwback to saison-inspired, Belgian-style industrial small beers”. Basically, this beer is a delightful paradox of old-world styles and new-age brewing techniques. Now, as much as I believe in the brewers’ words, let me provide my own perspective.
Aroma: 12 – A Citrus Getaway!
The very first thing that strikes you about this beer is its invigorating aroma. As soon as you pop the cap off and pour it into your favorite beer glass, your senses are greeted with intriguing citrus notes. As if waking up on a warm, breezy beach, the immediate citrus aroma slowly gives way to a mixture of light peppery phenolic scents. Slow down and inhale again, you might even detect lingering whiffs of lemon across the nose. Suffice it to say, the aroma here is nothing short of stellar and worth every point of the 12 it bags.
Appearance: 3 – Classic Looks with Contemporary Charm
Halfway Crooks Beer Collier also scores high in terms of appearance. It is pretty much how you envision the perfect beer to look like: a pale straw pour with a firmly structured white head. Add to this a slight hint of haze, and you have a beer that subtly yet unmistakably screams ‘choose me’ when you’re scanning those chiller shelves. Indeed, its appearance is worth every bit of the respectable 3 score it got.
Flavor: 20 – A Burst of Citrus and a Hint of Bready Goodness
The flavor is where this beer truly shines. It’s bright, citrusy and absolutely refreshing. The flavor basically echoes the aroma but adds its own layer of complexity. Bright citrus flavors resonate across your palate, boosted by a lively carbonation, making the flavors vibrate with intensity. As your palate becomes more attuned, you may perceive notes of tropical fruits, a hint of bread dough and delicate grassy hops. Not to mention, a lovely quaffable finish that leaves you craving for more. The flavor score of 20 here is a no-brainer.
Mouthfeel: 5 – Refreshingly Lively
Halfway Crooks Beer Collier offers an exceptionally pleasing mouthfeel, another aspect where it stands out. Smooth and lively, this beer dances in your mouth with a pretty loose, bright energy. It’s a balanced mix of acidity from the citrus and a certain woody bitterness that delivers a delightful contrast. It’s enjoyable, it’s lively, and most importantly, it’s distinctly drinkable. Thus, a score of 5.
