Tavour has hooked me up with the highest rated Milkshake IPA on BA, and it’s from Other Half no less. I’m very excited to try this one knowing the quality that Other Half consistently pushes out. Let’s get right into it

Pours a hazy milky yellow with 3 fingers of dense off white head that slowly fades to a cap and leaves nice lacing

The nose has such a nice snap here, but there’s still a rounded softness to it. I’m picking up on aromas of orange juice, pineapple juice, grassy hops, bready malt, red grapefruit, white pepper, sweet vanilla, lychee, dank weed, and light mango

It keeps up that same balance of smooth with a bite in taste as well. On the front end of the sip I’m tasting underripe mango, orange juice, resinous hops, bready malt, pineapple juice, dank weed, light grass, and red grapefruit. The swallow brings notes of orange juice, sweet vanilla, bready malt, pineapple juice, resinous hops, lemon zest, underripe mango, light lychee, white pepper, and grass

A medium body pairs with gentle tingling carbonation, resulting in a silky and juicy beer. Finishes mostly dry and drinks well below its abv

This is awesome stuff. I’m glad I got ab extra can, and it’s one I’ll likely pick up every time I see it on Tavour or if I ever get to try it on tap

 

 

 

 

Look - Hazy thick tannish yellow with nice sticky lacing and a white head
Smell - resioney orange creamsicle
Taste - about like the smell but wow, delicious!
Feel - full body creamy lighter carbonation
OVerall - just fantastic. The creamsicle taste nails it!

 

 

 

 

 

This one checks all the boxes for me. Outstanding and a must try.

 

Man, I'm too old to be drinking TIPAs. This thing pours like an orange juice creamcicle shake. Smells like one too. Super opaque and hazy. Looks like orange juice with heavy foam on top. Taste is all Citra, all orange juice, but with accents of vanilla and creamcicle milkshake. The alcohol is not invisible and makes itself known. It gets a bit sweet and cloying as it sits. It is a bit of a sugary headache in a can, which is a ding in an otherwise great beer. Still very enjoyable. Label art is classic Other Half; it's fine; I like the fluffy pink clouds.

 

 

Outstanding triple dry hopped ipa ! Taste and mouthfeel are fantastic!

A - Pours a cloudy orange with a creamy white head. The head fades into a thin ring leaving some heavy lacing,

S - Aroma mango, tangerine, pineapple and light resinous hops.

T - The taste is tangerine, mango, peach, overripe cantaloupe, sweet oats and a light bitter finish.

M - Medium body with medium carbonation. Creamy mouthfeel with a soft dry finish.

O - This is a top notch TRIPA.

Picked-up a four-pack of cans at Kappy's in Norwell for about twenty four dollars. My ninth brew reviewed from these guys. This is excellent, but obscenely expensive.

 

 

 

 

 

Canned a month ago. Brooklyn.

L -- Pours golden yellow in the glass with a finger of sudsy off-white head produced with fairly aerated pour. Good retention and some lacing
S -- This is one of those IPAs you can smell from halfway across the room. Orange juice concentrate, kumquat, yellow grapefruit, creamsicle, hint of dankness
T -- Again, citrus of all sorts dominates here (not surprisingly). There's a decent creamy sweetness from the lactose and a neutral malt character from the oat and wheat. Perhaps most impressive is the complete lack of booziness despite the high ABV. It's a bit one dimensional, but nothing offensive
F -- Soft, fluffy, creamy. Kinda Tree House-like, actually
O -- Solid effort here from Other Half. One of the better TIPAs I've had

87/100

 

This is damn good. Super cloudy, bright orange/gold, mild head and lacing. Smell is dank and weedy with a citrusy undercurrent. Taste is citrusy and juicy but not overly so, with a slight bitterness and a tart aftertaste. Dry finish, a bit of creaminess from the lactose and oats. Alcohol is extremely well disguised. I’m not quite sure why this one is categorized as such, and I gave up on milkshake style IPAs, but if they were all this good, I’d hop right back on the boat.

 

 

This is a huge shocker. I normally hate OH IPAs and am critical of TIPA’s in general.
This is really impressive.
No alcohol presence. No old cantaloupe. No hop burn. Not overly sweet.

Poured from a 16 oz can. Smell of intense citrus with a taste is citrus & mango. Flavor just punches you in the mouth for your full sip. An excellent IPA.

 

 

3 months old. Can to wine glass.

L: Pours a milky yellow with a fluffy white head that leaves a good amount of lacing. No floaters.

S: Candied citrus fruits, sweet white grapes, ripe strawberries and bubblegum.

T: Tastes exactly as it smells. The citrus notes are a bit more defined here, focusing mostly on orange and tangerine. Following the fruity, bubblegummy body, the finish is slightly bitter.

F: Very full. Very creamy. Quite smooth and almost soft despite it‘s high ABV. Medium carbonation.

O: In my experience, Other Half’s higher ABV IPAs often age very nicely as they tend to smooth out after a few weeks losing most of their boozy sweetness. This one marks no exception. At three months old, it has developed into an absolute world class IPA. It‘s still on the sweet side, but in a very pronounced and complex way showcasing both the hop variety and the beer style in an outstanding way.

Appearance: Triple Citra Daydream is a hazy golden-yellow beer with a frothy white head. The beer has moderate to high clarity, with a moderate amount of carbonation visible.

Aroma: On the nose, this beer has a strong citrus aroma, primarily composed of grapefruit, tangerine, and orange notes. There are also hints of pine and a slight malty sweetness.

Taste: The taste of Triple Citra Daydream is consistent with its aroma, with strong citrusy hop flavors dominating. There is a medium to high bitterness that is balanced out by the beer's sweet malt backbone. The grapefruit, tangerine, and orange flavors are prominent, and there are also notes of pine.

Mouthfeel: This beer has a medium to full body with a creamy and smooth mouthfeel. The carbonation is moderate to high, which adds to the beer's overall refreshing quality.

Overall Impression: Overall, Triple Citra Daydream is a well-balanced and highly drinkable IPA. Its strong citrus flavors, balanced bitterness, and smooth mouthfeel make it an excellent choice for hop-forward beer fans. It is a beer that would be best enjoyed fresh, either on its own or with a light snack.

 

A thanks goes out to the incredible woodychandler for this beer. Poured from a 16 oz.can. Has a pretty, hazy orange color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is of citrus, some mango. Taste is citrus, peaches, mango, a bit of alcohol is present. Feels full bodied in the mouth and overall is a solid beer, but I was expecting more.
