Double Dry Hopped Mylar Bags
Other Half Brewing - Center Street

 

 

 

Poured chilled from a can into a 16oz pint glass. Hazy pale gold appearance with single finger creamy white head. Plenty of lace clinging to the glass.
Aroma is tropical fruit, passionfruit, apricot, some grapefruit, faint pine. Very fragrant.
Taste follows the nose. Very creamy and flavorful NEIPA. Pineapple, passionfruit, mandarin orange, white grapefruit, maybe a hint of white peach. Dank musty undertone on the backend as the hops kick in. Feels like I'm drinking sweet tropical fruit juice with a splash of bitter white grapefruit pith. Pretty balanced brew.
Mouthfeel is medium-heavy with decent carbonation that rolls over the tongue. Smooth drinkability and thirsty quenching.
Overall this is a very well-crafted NEIPA. Great balance between fruity sweet and hop bitterness...leans more sweet side. Delicious brew. Keep em coming Other Half. Well-done!

 

 

 

Delicious DIPA! Taste follows the nose. Tropical delight.

Poured from 16oz can into a tulip. Canned 2/16/24.

Appearance: medium golden-yellow hue with plenty of haze and a finger of frothy ivory foam.

Smell: sweet malt with an excellent tropical, fruity, juicy, orange-Julius-ey aroma. I am enticed, intrigued, and enraptured.

Taste: a little bit earthier and danker than the aroma, but still with an excellent tropical fruit character. Really, really, good.

Mouthfeel: medium body with a good carbonation and creaminess.

Overall: while there is some complexity to this beer, it doesn't have the depth, say, of a rich barleywine or Belgian quad. That said, the depth this beer possesses is in a flavor zone that really appeals to me. Flavor Flav says don't believe the hype, but in this case, I think it's warranted. Outstanding beer.

Flavor: Strong flavors of orange citrus, tangerine, tropical pineapple with some sweet melon and apricot underneath. Juicy and resinous. Finishes sweet.

Feel: Heavier-bodied, strong, carbonation, finishes, smooth and sweet. Hides the ABV well.

Compared to Other Half DDH Southern Hopalistic 1/2024: Pours brighter. similar head. Milder aromas. More tangerine, resinous mango and apricot. Less lime, lemon citrus, and green grape/melon. Juicier and sweeter.

to Drekker Goon Platoon 2/2024: Pours simliar, milder aromas. More tangerine, pineapple, resinous pine and mango. Less orange, guava, kiwi, strawberry. Similar sweetness, but more pine.

Overall: Rated World-Class on BeerAdvocate. Large and sweet. Has more tangerine, mango, and apricot flavors. Hides the ABV well. Pretty good, actually very good. Pretty standard for Other Half Though in my opinion.

A - Opaque medium golden tan color with very dense, bright white sticky foam and lacing. The whiteness sticks on the sides of the glass like cotton candy.

S - Peach, spicy fruit rind, apricot, spicy pineapple, and tangerine. Overall aroma is dank and spicy.

T - No surprise this falls in line with the aroma - dank, fruity, and spicy from start to finish. Peach, apricot, papaya, tropical fruit, and spicy citrus with pineapple while finishing on the sweeter side.

M - Big medium body, pillowy soft, and chewy. There's some slight warming in the back of the throat.

O - This shah is memorable, fantastic, and worth seeking out. Recommended.
