Cloudy golden/orange. Tropical fruits craziness in the aroma. Hops packed. taste ( at some point it even seemed too much). Bitter and astringent aftertaste.

Hazy orange color with light beige head. Aroma has dank notes, ripe quince and some sweet vanilla notes. Taste is fruity, sweetish with a light grassy bitterness in the background. Medium to full bodied, smooth mouthfeel. Another nice Other Half IPA.

Pours a hazy golden orange color. Nice looking brew, however, the head was minimal and I would have liked to have seen better retention.
The nose features a burst of fruity hops aromas; banana, mango, peach, apricot and nectarine.
Unlike the aroma, the fruit flavors are less obvious in favor of a dryer palate. A tropical and stone fruit sweetness is muted amidst a grainy malt and oats backbone. Instead, earthy hops flavors that are peppery and piny provide balance and spice. Low bitterness at first, it develops gradually and is especially felt in the moderately resinous finish.
Medium bodied, smooth, soft and gently carbonated.
Easy to drink IPA. Pretty good but not as flavorful as some Other Half offerings.

L - darker than usual for OH. Murky, turbid brown orange with shades of grey. Nice head with lacing... also unusual for OH...
S - witty and buttery. Loads of overripe banana and some coriander. Honeydew.
T - dragonfruit and passionfruit. Orange marmalade, oat groat, and caramel without too much sweetness. Ripe flavors abound. Very smooth and decadent, thanks to the oats.
F - so soft. Velvety felt with a thick, creamy body. This is a ton of fun to swish around the mouth. High marks here for sure.
O - from the nose and look, I was expecting an oxidized malt bomb, but this pleasantly surprised. It's still quite heavy on the syrupy sweetness, but the flavors are tight and calculated. Nothing lazy about this at all. Nice dessert beer.
