L - 2-finger yellowish head atop a pale orange body.
S - vegetal, earthy, skunk, herb. Not getting any citrus in the nose.
T- weird. Vegetal hops. Cabbage, onion, potato. Slightly medicinal, in a syrupy sweetened cough syrup way. Dirty middle. I get no citrus or tropical flavors at all in this. Moderate bitterness. Moderate sweetness. Moderate booziness.
F - syrupy body with minimal carb.
O - this does nothing for me. Just not a fan of these particular hops in this combination.

Poured from 16oz can into my BeerAdvocate teku. Canned 9/2/25.
Appearance: pale yellow hue with a good haze and a thick head of frothy ivory foam.
Smell: sweet aroma with a kind of juicy, tropical, grassy aroma. I think I am interpreting some very light passionfruit aroma as "grassy"; but, it does have some earthiness to it. In any case, I rather like it.
Taste: very sweet, but this helps provide a lovely juiciness. I still can't parse its flavor beyond a vague "tropical" character; maybe there's some stone fruit mixed in there as well. Even at 3 months old this can is drinking very nicely -- this beer is really working for me tonight. Juicy, tropical, and just enough zing so that it's not cloying despite its overall sweetness. Excellent!
Mouthfeel: medium-rich body with a nice carbonation and a rich, smooth creaminess. Quite good indeed.
Overall: yeah, this beer is really working for me. The flavor reads differently than the aroma to me; juicier even than the smell suggests. I can't even imagine how good this beer is super fresh!

Cloudy orange color. Big, white head. Tropical fruits and some malt in the aroma. Moderate, hoppy bitterness. Well balanced. There is confusion between DDH and non-DDH versions. I do not think the non-DDH version even exists anymore.

Poured chilled from a can into a 16oz pint glass. Appearance is hazy pale gold witha brief 1-finger head. Receded to a thin foam with little lacing.
Aroma is mango and herbal grass.
Taste is a punch of hops...mango, grapefruit, pineapple, some darkness going on.
Mouthfeel is medium full with a decent amount of pillowy carbonation making this easily drinkable and enjoyable. Sweet fruits up front with some subtle bittering on the back with some warming as it goes down.
This is a well-crafted NEIPA and true to the style. Would purchase this one again.

Another in the line of winners from these guys. Canned around the end of September. Hazy pale gold, light head and lacing. Subtle topical citrus scents. Mild pineapple flavors and sweetness. Medium yet full bodied, mouth watering finish, subtle booze presence. Excellent in its underassertivness.

Canned 9/27/22. Brewed at Finger Lakes.
L: Pours a hazy yellow gold with a very short head that quickly thins on top but rings around the glass. Thin, irregular lacing.
S: Aromas of peach, mango and pineapple.
T: Mango and peach up front, lemon-lime and pineapple in the middle. Finishes with some surprising herbal dankness. No heat.
F: Light to medium mouthfeel. Lower than medium carbonation.
O: The look, aroma, and mouthfeel were a bit below Other Half's usual stellar standards, but the taste made up for it. An unexpected but delightful pivot from tropical/citrus to earthy/dank.
