Can to snifter for daughters first communion.

LOOK: super hazy deep yellow, medium off white head. very good retention.
AROMA: grapefruit, tangerine , hay, palm.
TASTE: Grapefruit, ash, tangerine, grass.
FEEL: medium to full body. a little creamy, but also some acidic astringency. sharp finish.

nice collaboration. As an NJ resident, I am full supportive of Carton and I love some of their offerings, but not necessarily their hoppy beers. In that way, OH is a perfect collaborator to fill in some gaps. Enjoying the fullness and steady hops in this. Cheers.

This collab is Carton Brewing's orange iteration of Other Half's All Green Everything TIPA, featuring Mosaic, Mandarina Bavaria, and Waimea hops, and orange zest... 5/16/17 canning...

Medium gold and clear with a few fingers of off-white foam atop that left lace sheets trailing behind... Aromas brought that orange citrus for sure, along with some floral and pine notes to round it off... On the sip, more of the same, but the orange had a dank, resinous quality that I really liked - as in, it wasn't this one-dimensional "orange bomb" - there was some tingle and tang, but also a slight shellacky chew... Fairly light-bodied, making it drink faster than I expected; moderate carbonation and a mild bitterness... Finished well, with a little citric heat and sweetness lingering behind... Probably the best "orange-forward" brew I've ever had, and one of the best TIPA-types as well.

Cant make out the date on the bottom of the can but it's from the most recent release so maybe mid-April? Very subdued head even with what I thought was an aggressive pour. Beautiful deep auburn color, clearer than I thought it would be but pleasantly surprised none the less. A little bit of lacing on the glass but very slight, really impressed with the color and clarity though, beautifully filtered beer. Very citrusy and sweet on the nose upfront, a little grassiness and malt as well but, oranges and tangerines are definitely there. Surprised to see this is 10.5%, it is well hidden. More body than I imagined considering the clarity, well-carbonated and the aftertaste reminds me of an orange tootsie-pop. Hoping Carton/Other Half put this out again as I would definitely seek it out and would encourage you to do the same. Nice to have a kickass IPA that isn't all hazed out.

 

 

 

15th Review. Great collaboration in this orange (alarming) period under the orange man in the white house.
A) At the brewer, on tap, pours a brilliant, mostly clear, pale orange body with a finger of white cap that lasts and laces.
S) Bursts: Grapefruit, tropical fruit, orange zest, mango and dank grassy hops.
T) Again big and bursty, jusicy: Orange zest, grapefruit, passionfruit with grassy, hempy and floral notes in the finale.
F) Light hearted and juicy, but sexy and well-bodied and dry on the tongue. Hides ABV well.
O) I want more time with this (last beer of the evening) But a "try 24" for sure.

On tap at Carton 5/28/17. YES.

L: Small head with little retention, only thin ring. Beer is a clear copper.

S: Lots of orange, grapefruit, and pineapple, very light cracker malts, and a nice earthy dankness.

T: Very closely follows nose. Starts off very slightly sweet and then goes neutral through remainder of palate. Finish nicely dank.

F: Medium bodied, medium carbonation. Excellent construction and balance.

O: Great great DIPA.
