thank you davidsoul! can from the end of june, about 2 weeks ago. double dry hopped single ipa...
I really love what other half does with the Simcoe hop. several of my favorites are centered around Simcoe so I was excited to finally try the ddh single hop.
sadly this doesn't hold a candle to the heavy handed IIPAs other half makes to showcase the hop but this is far from bad. an improvement from the non ddh single hop sort of, but not really....sort of because the flavor is so much more pronounced and in your face, but the body isn't there to support all that ballsy flavor and a ballsy Simcoe can be intense in unpleasant ways. notes of resinous pineapple abound...the ddh of Simcoe creates a bittery assault on the backend of the flavor through the hoppy resin. one can of this is fine for me, whereas I happily gobble up 4 packs of forever simcoe. for an other half beer, this is a miss to me.
