Florets
Other Half Brewing - Center Street

Hazy yellow color. Big , white head. Aroma of fresh tropical fruits and citrus. Semi-dry with well-pronounced, hoppy bitterness. Simple and easy to drink.

 

 

 

 

Not sure why I haven't reviewed this beer yet, had a 4 pack of it quite some time ago.

Pours appearance wise in the style of a hazy ipa. Not a west coast ipa. You're a poser bro. Not the beer. You. Thin white head, 1/5". Aroma leaned on the pineapple, is that Galaxy, El Dorado or both? Nope, none of them. Interesting. Perhaps its those Australian Cascades.

The taste brings the usual medley of citrus and tropical, mouthfeel bouyed by the Simcoe and Cascade giving some tree like bitterness despite the hazy ipa designation. Not the other one. Not gonna call it that. Dork. The mouthfeel could use some firming up, hits that watery mild meets slightly more bitterness than you would expect from a branded hazy ipa. Dirty reggae. The blanc hops didn't give me any white grape vibes either. I dunno, haven't had a lot of Other Half, but I've had it both on tap and in cans, and it keeps falling into the good category, not sure if its just population beer demographic spectrum stuff or what. You did get served though on that one thread for being factually incorrect AF.

From a 16oz can with a wodgy date-stamp - I’m reasonably sure it says 11/08/23. Served in a cervoise.

Pours a hazy, pale pineapple-gold with a finger-plus of soft, creamy suds. Retention is pretty good, leaving a sudsy, bubbly cap and a solid sheet of lacing.

Nose is relatively faint but there’s a distant tropical fruit-like aroma.

Tasting soda cracker, grape-gooseberry-lime and orange. A bit thin and watery to my tastes.

Feel is clean and juicy, medium-light bodied and brightly carbonated.

Overall, a serviceable beverage. It doesn’t knock my socks off but, then, not everything can, I mean, right?

 

Can poured into a Mountain Rambler Brewery pint glass

A: Pours hazy golden yellow with a frothy cream white head that settles to a firm layer and laces very nicely.

S: Lively zesty citrus, ripe tropical and stone fruit, white grape, a hint of blueberry, underlying pine, light floral and grassy notes, biscuity malt, and caramel honey sweetness.

T: Bright citrus, grapefruit and lemon lime, exotic, tropical, and stone fruit, pineapple, white grape, passion fruit, apricot, white peach, guava, blueberry, and a hint of papaya, underlying resinous pine, a bit floral, biscuity malt, and caramel honey sweetness.

M: Just a touch on the lighter side of medium body, moderate carbonation, soft on the palate.

O: I was lucky enough to snag a can of this and Broccoli from the latest OH can drop to hit my area and I've been debating which one to crack into first. Not regretting starting here whatsoever. Super tasty, that Blanc gives it a really nice unique profile. Can't wait to try its big brother.

 

 

Its a nice looking hazy, pale with a nice frothy head.
The nose really shines, overflowing with sweet citrus and danknesss, lime, lychee and morning dew.
Taste follows the nose, grassy and citrusy, sweet and dank.
Medium bodied, a little thin but still has good texture and finishes cleanly.
