16oz can from Rick. Pours out light golden, hazy body small frothy head. Aroma brings forth lots of tropical aromas, mango, pineapple. Taste is juicy, more tropical fruit, nice consistency.

Heavy Mental's? More like Heavy Metal's as this beer had the proverbial volume on it turned up to '11". From the label to the pour to the taste and potency of it, this was strong and wasn't ashamed to admit it! The uniqueness of the brewery that Other Half worked with and the Golden Promise made this different from anything I had before but at the same time, I was hooked on it from the get-go and didn't mind how it nearly knocked me over once I finished it off!
This had a nice, apricot hue to the pour with plenty of head to top it off. Not as cloudy or dank as what I'm accustomed to, this almost poured like liquid resin. Lots of tangerine, apricot, booze, and earthy hops in the nose with more of those in the taste, from start to finish. Full of citrus juice and tropical sweetness as well, this warmed up nicely and was so sticky that I was licking my lips long after this was polished off! Really enjoyed the resin in this and the full body that the malt brought to the table, without interfering with the massive amount of hops in this!
Crushable? Sure, but good luck having a few of these in one sitting. One was enough and I could feel the potency of it pretty quickly. Ripe mango, papaya, and guava ruled the day here and with little hop burn in the aftertaste, this was a tropical juice bomb through and through. Canned on 10/13 with LIQUID THERAPY fittingly written below it, this was one of my more favorite collaborations from Other Half as of late!

Really hazy orange color with off-white head. Aroma is really juicy and fruity overripe tropical and citrus fruits. Taste follows with juicy hops, lots of fruity notes, slightly bitter and boozy on the finish. Medium plus body with medium carbonation. Overall I think it would be better if it was lower in ABV.

Tall can....10/13/17...just over a month in the can
Turbid pour, lasting 1/2 inch frothy cap, leaves nice looking and coating fine sheeting.
Pungent and ripe tropical fruit sniff.
Ripe pineapple all over this one, dank and delicious, devilishly tasty, dangerously drinkable...fine example of the this red hot NE variant of the style.....love the OH brews!
