Streamside IPA
Otto's Pub and Brewery

 

My 900th Beer Advocate review! Had on draft at Otto's

LOOK: Heavy hazed pale straw yellow with a white head that had average retention and a good bit of side glass lace.
AROMA: Some dank citrus and some orange, tangerine. The earthy mosaic hops come through and balance the dank and tartness of the beer.
TASTE; Juicy, balanced and not an aggressive bitter IPA. Easy drinking hop, malt balance.
Drying finish. I liked this NEIPA.

DATE: July 27, 2023... OCCASION: Penn State summer visiting Jer in 2023, with a twist: celebrating Will's first official college visit! GLASSWARE: Man Skirt ale... pours a sallow, tangerine yellow-orange body dense enough to deny any vision of its effervescence.... the half-finger head sits crisply atop, creamy with off-white smears... punchy, tart, with lime, peach, and tropical wafts courtesy of the Mosaic, tangerine from the Idaho 7, and a dank citrus meld from the Citra... together, they form a pleasant blend that is softer and not as aromatic as others in the style, but given its ABV, perhaps it is fitting... its body is highly drinkable, a bit dry and not too heavy... some effervescence ushers in each sip... citrus--tangerine, lemon, and passion fruit mesh with oats and cracker to create a soft, rounded experience.... the after taste is equally agreeable, yet brief... everyone needs an NEIPA now, so it's only proper that Otto's added one to its portfolio that said, this is a functional, easy-drinking hazy that could benefit from heft or strength... a solid offering that makes sense as a flagship, but the brewery has stronger beers in its profile...

16oz can into a pint glass. No freshness dating.

Good looking beer, hazy orange body with bright white head. Aroma of citrus, tastes strongly of orange, and there is a pleasant bitterness late in the finish.
