Double Dry Hopped Small Green Everything
Other Half Brewing - Center Street

 

 

 

16 ounce can in a Sam Smith’s imperial pint glass. Canned on 7/14/2021.

Very cloudy pale yellow color. Bright white cap is just shy of 2F, fluffy and lots of sticky lacing.

Heavy dose of citrus aroma. Grapefruit, lemon, and orange. Strong rind like. Subtle stone fruits, not much in the way of malt or bread. A touch of yeast at most.

Mostly grapefruit flavor above the other citrus until the finish then the lemon-lime pops.

Near medium body. Bitter and very dry. Citrus hops don’t quit.

Drinkable proof that good ddh ipa doesn’t require over the top abv. Nice.

Pours a solidly hazy light orange, 1.5" head, nice lacing throughout. Nose is honeydew and cantaloupe, with maybe a bit of dried mango. Taste is mildly sweet with tropical fruit and melon, but with a strong grain element on the finish. Mouthfeel super soft and pillowy.

Pours cloudy orange gold color with a nice 2 finger thick off-white colored head that faded slowly and left nice lacing. Smells of tangerine, orange peel, grapefruit, biscuit, lime, melon, herbs and dry yeast. Tastes of tangerine, orange peel, lime, grapefruit, musty grapes biscuit, fresh cut grass, herbs and dry yeast. The dry hops come through in the finish. Very low bitterness, a lighter body with mild carbonation, this went down really easy. A nice session IPA, but not as hoppy as I expected it to be considering it was double dry hopped.

Pours a hazy yellow orange color. A modest head rapidly dissipates.

The nose evokes a combination of citrus and stone fruit. Aromas of grapefruit, orange cream soda, peach and apricot. There are also herbal notes of grass.

A crisp and dry cracker malt gives way to bright and zesty hops flavors. Bright notes of grapefruit, orange and lime interact with spicy grass and sharp pine flavors. The palate is dry, however, some juicy sweetness opens up and evokes notes of peach, lychee and dry mango. Little to no bitterness, however, the hops spices do more than enough to add balance and a nice prickle.

Medium to light bodied, as the malt backbone seems intentionally thin to increase drink ability. The mouthfeel is semi crisp with a moderate to lively carbonation. The finish is crisp and dry.

Good session IPA overall. It’s not merely hops water, as there really is some substance to the body and flavors. I would have again.

 

16 oz. can. Hazy orange. Smells of grapefruit, white grape, herbals, light onion, and light bubblegum. Tastes of citrus and grassy hops. White grape in the back end. Low malt presence, just a bit of graininess. Light body. Good hop flavor. While I always think a bit of bitterness would improve the modern IPA, this is enjoyable all the same.

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a one pint can on July 28, 2020.

 

Can. White head. Lace. Hazy golden orange.

For 4.8% this has a lot of flavor. Mango, melon, orange, and papaya. Soft and creamy feel. Some earthy green hops, but no bitterness. Very drinkable. Can’t believe this is only 4.8%.

 

 

 

 

Decanted from a 16 oz (473 ml) can into a Captain Lawrence muffin top taster glass; canned 07/06/20.
A: Pours a very hazy, golden-orange color with ochre highlights, a two finger, caramelized looking head, solid, much more than rim retention, but more limited lacing.
S: Lights aromas of grapefruit, lime, pine, barley, and honey predominate.
T: More semisweet than semidry. Flavor pallet a melange of the nose with more lemon on the citrus front. Bitterness light and refreshing. Pleasant creamed, mashed potatoes aftertaste.
M: Light to medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Remarkably smooth and creamy.
O: Some of the industry is definitely focused on low ABV IPAs to extend the market. This is extremely crunchable and absent the flaws of most. If I can get it, it is now my go to for this style.

Hazy yellow body with a full white head. Smell lemon and orange zest, dank and grassy hops, melon rind, and juicy mango. Taste is much drier than expected: zesty citrus and tropical fruits dominate, hops are more grassy and dry than dank. Feel is airy, soft, bright, but thin. Good neipa but don't need to have again, missing anchors through the sip

A: The beer is very hazy to cloudy yellow in color. It poured with a half finger high white head that gradually died down, leaving a narrow collar around the edge and some lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of lychee are present in the nose along with notes of lime.
T: The taste has flavors of lychee and stone fruit with notes of lime. No bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied and very juicy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: I found this IPA to be quite sessionable and rather flavorful given its low alcohol content.

Serving type: can

Pours a completely opaque, bright yellow-orange color. Velvety off-white head collapses slowly but never completely.

Aroma has notes of citrus, dried grass, mango, papaya and some green hoppy notes.

Taste has notes of citrus, mango, papaya, some grassy hoppy notes on the back end all on the canvass of a biscuity malt backbone. Quite light in its flavors.

Feel is light and easy drinking while being medium bodied. Bright, prickly carbonation with a rather abrupt somewhat dry finish.

Overall this was a nice session NEIPA. While quite good, it just didn't reach the heights some of the other session offerings from Other Half have.
