Mmm... Fruit (Plum)
Other Half Brewing - Center Street

This was yet another beer from Other Half that I bought there and took a while to get around to. If you like plum and Berliner Weisse beers, then this would be up your alley as it was true to form and quite easy to enjoy. A bit too one-dimensional for me, it was on par with other similar beers that these guys have released in the past...

A dark, muted plum was what this poured with enough head topping it off. That faded quickly as the lacing left behind was just a few thin, wavy splotches that weren't close to resembling rings. Dark, fruity, and a bit tart, the nose was muted but strong enough to indicate what this beer was about. Tart, slick, and mildly fruity, there wasn't much depth to be had throughout. There was enough carbonation to keep this light and scrub the palate, so that this didn't linger of plums for *too* long.

Hardly any booze here and like any good beer of this sort, it would be easy to down a bunch of these in a sitting. Canned on 5/15/18 with "PLUM" written below it, there was just a bit of sediment at the bottom of the liquid but not much else to indicate how old this was. Indeed, it's winter here but this fit in well with the season, almost to the point where I had visions of sugar plums dancing in my head - or in my pint glass - at least...

 

 

Pours a gorgeous, relaxing, almost pastel shade of pink, with a head of tiny, white bubbles. Nose is unmistakably Berliner Weiße, with some faint fruitiness in the background. It tastes... like plum. And, because plums are one of my favorite fruits, I love it. Feel is as crisp and refreshing and delightful as the flavor. Sometimes dreams do come true.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tall can....05/15/18 stamped on the bottom.

Pour a lovely hazed shade of dull, lighter plum....delicate off white cap, leaves some strands and bits of lacing.

Faint fruity sniff.

Jammy and ripe fruited up brew, with yes, some plum notes, moderate sour bite...pleasing and worthy brew
