Brewed with our friend Jeppe from Evil Twin Brewing. This double dry hopped monster has Tomahawk, Mosaic, Motueka and lupulin powder additions of both Tomahawk and Mosaic. Big, soft and juicy.

Pours a beautiful hazy looking orange/yellow color with a thin white head that dissipates quickly. Smells of orange, mango, pineapple, and big juicy hops. Taste follows the smell with an insanely creamy mouth feel and a light lingering bitterness. Hard to believe the ABV on this DIPA is 8.80% because it tastes like a 6% single IPA. A great New England Style DIPA that I would highly recommend and will definitely be buying this again!

Picked this up at the brewery with the other three in the set that had different-hued labels. As to be expected, this was a brew that had plenty of juice, dankness, and body but was pretty easy to quaff given the amount of alcohol present. With so much going on here, I had to let this fully warm up to fully enjoy it, but it was worth the effort in the end!
Nice pour to this as the beer had a typical, dank, apricot, Other Half pour with plenty of head to top it off. A few thin rings of soapy lacing were left on the side of my teku glass with other sections of spotty lacing present as well. Plenty of booze, yeast, floral notes, and melon in the nose but this really shone in the taste once it warmed up and I could get a good idea of what it was about. A chalky and floral dryness up front gave way to a more juicy, subdued taste that quickly grew on me. Citrus slickness, lime and stone fruit pith, and apricot sweetness came through in the taste as the subdued, but wonderfully lasting taste emerged and lasted for the duration once this fully warmed up. Soft, fluffy, and well-rounded, this had so much going for it as it needed to fully mellow out to be fully appreciated. A soft grassy and boozy aesthetic was what lingered in the aftertaste but at that point, this had enough going for it that those notes were just a pleasing afterthought.
Not weak, this came across as subdued given how potent it was. A faint but lingering citrus tang stuck on my palate long after I polished this off. Beers that mature and grow on me during the warming process are the ones that I enjoy the most and this certainly fell in that category. With a date of 9/27 on the bottom of the can with PROVOCATEURS written below it, this was another winner from Other Half that proved how well they're killing it right now. It was a plus that the first can I had was pink as it clearly beats out all of the others!

Received in a trade.
A - Poured into my Duvel tulip a nice hazy golden orange juice hue with a thick one finger white head that fades slowly to leave loads of creamy lacing and a dense blanket.
S - Aromas of lemons, little bit of floral notes, little bit of citrus. Nice grassy aroma as it warms, pleasant earthy pine.
T - Taste is much brighter than the nose. Big lemon notes. I can see where another said it had 'lemoncello' flavour, not much int he way of other citrus, pretty much just lemon peel and little bit of lemon flesh. Nice floral/grassy flavour, little bit of dank spicy earthy pine on the finish as well. Lightly bitter lingering finish.
M - Mouthfeel is nicely carbonated, little crisp, creamy, fluffy.
O - Overall this was a solid DIPA from Other Half. Nice use of mosaic here and the lacing retained quite nicely.
