DOUBLE DRY HOPPED HAZY INDIA PALE ALE
Our flagship IPA, Green City has juicy notes of peach rings, grapefruit, mango, and tropical candies. Loaded with oats for a creamy body that’s not too sweet.
Hops: Centennial, Citra, Simcoe

Textbook NEIPA. Very enticing pour. Near opaque. Lots of green in the nose in addition to the citrus. The taste carries plenty of chalky malt and citrusy flavors, Orange, Grapefruit, Pineapple, Very nice mouthfeel. Medium. This i s a great example of the NEIPA style. There is a lot of hype surrounding Other Half, If more of their beers are of this quality, I can see where the hype comes from. This one is great,

Dirty amber to brown color. Cloudy. Excellent blanket lace on the glass. Small but dense head that leaves a thin film on the surface.
The initial smell is bittering hop. Subsequently, I get a light sweetness. Excellent balance.
There’s a creaminess with the sharp bitterness. The malt holds up but the bitterness is close to extreme. High carbonation with a moderate body. Long harsh finish and aftertaste.

Likely the greatest mass mkt hazy of all time...
Golden haze almost no head. Melon, Grapefruit, lupulin. Silky feel. Crushable carbonation. Easy to briefly overlook Green City but return like a comfortable old shoe

Wowza.... One of the most fragrant brews I can remember.... I love IPAs, but my least favorite style are the "Haziest" ... Still, this is a delicious and flavorful example ... I say again ... Wowza!

Green City – from Other Half Brewing. A 16 fl oz can was purchased from Franklin Beer, Franklin, PA on 08/12/23 for $ 5.00 (Including tax), $ 0.3125/fl oz. Reviewed 02/01/24 (Review 3208). Note that I use DD/MM/YY protocol.
Bottom of can stamped 09/08/2022. Stored at 34 degrees at home. Served at 47.8 degrees F in a hand washed and dried Jester King snifter. The final temperature was 54.5 degrees F.
Appearance – 4
First pour – Pale Straw (SRM 2), hazy and opaque.
Body – Straw (SRM 3), opaque. Under direct light, same. Rear-lite, same.
Head: Average (Maximum four cm, aggressive center pour), white, high density with a rocky top, average retention, dropping to a 0.5 – 1.1 cm jagged crown with initial prominences of lacing.
Lacing – Excellent! Wide band of tiny to small bubbles with vault having short stalactites.
Aroma – 4.5 – Strong grapefruit. No malt, no yeast, no alcohol (7% ABV as marked on the label).
Flavor – 4.25 – Slightly sweet grapefruit quickly becoming bitter before a slightly sweet finish. No malt, no yeast. No dimethylsulfide or diacetyl. Mild gastric warming.
Palate – 4 – Full; creamy; soft but lively carbonation.
Final impression and summation: 4.25 For being a year past date, the Simcoe hops have held up well, bring a delightful grapefruit flavor and bitter/sweet/bitter taste sensation to my taste buds. I rolled this can a few times before opening to make sure I got the full effect of the haziness. Unfortunately, any peach flavors were long gone, but for what it is (an old can of beer), it’s still good.

Poured from a pint can into a pint glass.
A: Really really nice looking. Thick, creamy, borderline opaque. Super hazy. Pale goldenrod, and looks just like a lemon square, with the yellow body and the dusting of white foam on top. Frothy, heterogeneous head. A rare 5 star appearance.
S: Tropical fruits; white peach, pineapple and mango, with just the right amount of piney resinous hop character. For a moment I felt like I was smelling a Douglas Fir. Freshness and balance.
T: Rich in tropical fruit: pineapple, peach, Meyer lemon. Lacks the drawbacks of other, inferior IPAs, like over-aggressive bitterness, cloying sweetness, or too much alcoholic bite. Falls a bit short of perfection, especially compared with the other characteristics, but still extremely enjoyable.
M: Rich mouthfeel with excellent viscosity and carbonation. Settles nicely. Lingers, but doesn’t overstay its welcome. Wonderful, and another perfect score.
Overall: Spectacular IPA. Easily one of the best beers I’ve had, full stop. Better than any IPA I’ve had out of Portland, and goes toe to toe with Russian River’s Pliny the Elder.
