Citra Daydream Oat Cream IPA
Other Half Brewing - Center Street

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cambridge MA 2022. Super hazy pale yellow with a large even head. Strong inviting Citra hop nose. Medium to full body, super smooth from the oats finishing with a strong hoppy dankness. Most enjoyable and satusfying.

 

 

Very nice offering. There’s no shortage of hazy IPAs these days but this one feels very dialed in.

Mouthfeel is perfect for the style.

Usual citra tropical notes in aroma and flavor. All around extremely drinkable.

 

 

This is a gem of an offering from Other Half. The look is nice are hazy but the nose is something to behold. Oh my that Citra piney aroma is utterly fantastic. Sweetness, fruitiness and baked good all come through. These follow into the palate where I sense wildflower honey, baked oatmeal cookies, earthiness and apricot. Such a great mouthfeel of creaminess in the finish. I'll add that at 6% ABV this is an achievement I'd expect from higher alcohol content brew.

 

 

 

 

 

Appearance: Pours a cloudy goldenstraw with a modest head that fades to a film while leaving some splashy lacing

Smell: Citrusy pith tones with lemon and pine

Taste: Citrus from the get go, with lemon drop hard candy; moderate to high bitterness, after the swallow, with a lemon and pine aspect

Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation

Overall: A rather assertive IPA for the New England style

Thanks, devoured by vermin, for the opportunity
