Notes:
Our 4th Anniversary Quadruple Dry-Hopped Imperial India Pale Ale was brewed with Pilsner malt, oats and wheat. We hopped it aggressively with Citra, Galaxy, Enigma, El Dorado, Mosaic and Citra Lupulin powder. The final two dry hop additions are just Galaxy and Citra Lupulin and Mosaic. Soft and juicy.

2023 Anniversary Version - Really good IPA - nice hope mix - excellent balance - next to no booziness for 10% (as is OH's way) - creamy with plenty of citrus backing - very solid.

It's a great triple. Slightly nuanced, hoppy, tropical. Satisfying mothfeel. Hits all the marks for my palate.

While I enjoyed the initial fruity aromas and flavors, the finish was pithy and harsh. So I tried it again when they re-released it. This iteration is less boozy fosho; granted, this definitely has some heat, but it has a great body, it’s well hopped, and it’s pretty tasty.

Cloudy orange with a fat finger of dense, off-white foam head. Good retention and thick lacing.
Big pineapple aroma with tropical Starburst, dank jungle weed and mango beneath.
Pineapple-forward taste as well, coupled with an interesting herbal note that lends some slight bitterness in the finish. There was fairly strong Playdoh in there at first, too; it might have been connected to the head, because it faded after the first few sips.
Full bodied with fairly zippy carbonation.
Lots of fantastic elements in this. The Playdoh was a huge let down at first, but again, that off-flavor didn’t last too long.

Holy cow was my reaction to seeing this. It poured very thick. Orange color. 2 finger white head. The head retention is amazing, considering the ABV. Beautiful lacing on the glass.
The nose is well, fairly minimal. Which surprises me. I'm just getting a faint citrus from it. Just a hint of pineapple, and grapefruit. Very minimal.
Taste - Now the taste is another thing all together from the aroma. This is a VERY hoppy beer. There's just a ton of citrus in it. Pineapple, grapefruit, orange - all there. Tons of hops in the flavor.
This beer is thick as heck here, which doesn't surprise me one bit. The hops just cling to my throat, and don't let go at all.
While this beer is light in the aroma department, it more than makes up in every other category. Another damn solid beer from Other Half.

Poured from a can (2/5) into a Teku
L: solid yellow/tan color, small white head that dissipates after a minute, minimal lacing
S: tons of ripe/overripe fruit (passionfruit, mango, papaya, citrus) with a slight sweet/boozy note, almost creamy
T: everything carries through in a very impressive way. Juicy and smooth, nearly creamy, with the slightest bit of bite at the end and a tiny hint of alcohol
F: soft, smooth, solid
O: just as I remembered, a great triple ipa full of those dank fruit notes I enjoyed
