Pours a hazy, dark orange coloration with a small, fluffy head. Smells of light biscuity malt and citrus/tropical hops, with notes of orange, tangerine and papaya. Taste is a great balance of quite light biscuity malt and fruity, juicy, floral and very slightly dank and resinous hops, with strong citrus and lighter tropical notes of orange, tangerine, mango and papaya, as well as the merest hint of weed and pine also coming through. Finishes with a very light bitterness and some orange, tangerine and papaya lingering in the aftertaste. Soft mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.
Another very nice New England IPA from Other Half that's nothing special compared to the best European NEIPAs though. In fact I enjoyed last English NEIPA I just had a lot more, the hype is real. To be fair, I probably enjoyed this one the least of the four Other Half beers I had this month, which may be due to my dislike of Amarillo hops, which bring that typical "orange blossom" feel of somewhat floral hops with a distinct tangerine note to this, which I'm not a big fan of, while it's also way too sweet, with almost no bitterness in the finish, while the dank, resinous accents are much too light to provide an adequate counterpoint here. At least it's quite juicy, with some nice tropical notes as well and if you like your beer to taste like juice, you'll probably enjoy this. Don't get me wrong, I do like NEIPAs, but this is just way too one-dimensional for my personal taste.

Can. White head with lace. Hazy sunset golden orange.
Very flavorful and drinkable. Papaya, mango, orange, and some cantaloupe. Earthy and floral hops. Citrus fruits. Light bitterness, but mainly soft. This is a crusher and the 7.8% is hard to find.

Pours a murky straw yellow color with fresh white head. Smell is dank citrus,oranges and mango. Taste is juicy orange and grapefruit with melon and stone fruits. A creamy smooth is mouth feel with ABV well hidden some lingering pine bitterness. Very nice.
