Double Dry Hopped Hop Showers
Other Half Brewing - Center Street

 

 

Can poured into a Mountain Rambler Brewery pint glass

A: Pours hazy golden yellow with a frothy cream white head that settles to a firm layer and laces quite nicely.

S: Grassy, citrus zest, floral notes, tropical and stone fruit, subtle earthy tones, biscuity malt, and caramel honey sweetness.

T: Zesty ripe citrus, grapefruit, tangerine, lime, and lemon, tropical and stone fruit, peach, apricot, passion fruit, mango, guava, and a faint hint of melon, floral, slightly resinous grassy notes, biscuity malt, and caramel honey sweetness.

M: Medium body, moderate carbonation, soft on the palate with just a touch of hop burn.

O: I was finally able to track this one down! One of the few remaining flagships of theirs that I hadn't had a chance to try yet.
In theory this could fall into the "all hazy IPAs taste the same" trap, but it doesn't. It's very nicely balanced and shows that while anyone can put 2 popular hops together, there are ways to do it that stand out from the pack.

 

poured from a 16oz can into a P3 pixel density nordic pint glass. pours a hazy orange with a finger of white fluffy head. citrus, melon and grass on the nose. taste amplifies the nose with a huge explosion of tropical fruits, citrus and grass / pine. really tasty. thick, full mouthfeel. another killer IPA from OH.

Pours milky gold in color,murky with one inch head. Taste is big dank hops, light starfruit. Medium body, moderate low carbonation, slightly bitter. This is how you do straight dank beer. Tasty and excellent.

 

Pours an opaque light orange, 1" soapy head with very good retention and lacing. Nose is very musky and piney, with just a little bit of fresh squeezed orange juice. Taste follows - moderate resin and dankness, with some grainy and malty sweetness, some melon; no much in the tropical vibes. Finish is a little on the dry side with some mild perfumey notes. Mouthfeel has moderate weight but light carbonation; still, would not accuse this as being soft. Overall, it's solid, but promised more on the nose than it delivered on the palate.
