Double Dry Hopped Double Citra Daydream
Other Half Brewing - Center Street

Can poured into a Mountain Rambler Brewery pint glass

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

S: The first hit is green; grassy, slightly spicy, and resinous, which gives way to ripe tropical and stone fruit, juicy citrus, and light floral notes, held together with biscuity malt, caramel sweetness, and hints of vanilla.

T: Big time ripe tropical and stone fruit, nectarine, apricot, mango, passion fruit, and hints of pineapple and lychee, ripe citrus, orange juice and a touch of lemon lime and grapefruit, floral notes, a bit grassy, biscuity malt, and caramel sweetness with almost vanilla cream undertones on the finish. A super faint touch of alcohol can poke through on the finish as it warms.

M: On the fuller side of medium body, moderate carbonation, creamy smooth, with the faintest touch of hop burn.

O: Basically exactly what you'd hope for when you turn OH loose with Citra hops. Intense, yet smooth. I think the DDH Double Mosaic Daydream is my favorite of the series so far, but this is close behind.

 

A solid NEIPA that holds its own. Smells of passionfruit and tastes of citrus sweet. While it might not stand out as a top-tier example, it’s a tasty and satisfying beer that delivers a good balance of fruit and malt with a smooth mouthfeel.

Have had this beer multiple times over the years its just incredibly consistent and delicious. The soft and creamy mouthfeel is just perfect.I do agree with others that it is definitely sweet but its also got a nice little bite

 

 

 

 

Good beer, good NEIPA. Light opaque golden yellow color with a white head as is typical with Other Half IPAs. Smooth taste with plentiful tropical and citrus notes. The oatmeal adds a sweet character to it. Nice and tropical and smooth just as expected.

Poured from 16oz can into my BeerAdvocate teku. Canned 4/25/24. A palindrome!

Appearance: super thicc and hazy medium yellow hue with a thick finger of frothy ivory foam with a good retention and leaving a good lace on the glass.

Smell: slightly dank, slightly grassy, with a hint of slightly sharp citrus hops. Not bad, certainly, but not totally outstanding.

Taste: sweet malt helps this beer along, with a mild passionfruit character alongside a mild stone fruit character. It’s juicy and tasty, if not, maybe, the brightest hazy IPA I’ve had. It’s got a lot more going on than the aroma, though.

Mouthfeel: medium-rich body with a really good level of carboantion and creaminess. Very nice.

Overall: a solid beer! Evidently I don’t love it as much as the rest of BeerAdvocate but overall this is a very tasty beer and a good, if not stellar, NEIPA.

 

Hazy pale yellow colour. Smell is sweet citrus, very citra. Taste is the same, smooth rich feel, rather sweet. No discernible bitterness. Nice stuff, but not worth the price to me.

Canned 2/6/24. Poured a hazy pale gold; tight white head; good cap retention; bands of soapy lace. Nose is grapefruit, orange and lemon. Taste follows nose; firm malt base; no bitterness. Medium full (oats/lactose) body; soft, almost fluffy feel; light carbonation; no astringency. Overall, a tasty citrus flavored hazy light with a pleasing mouthfeel that is not too pillowy.
