Small Nelson Everything
Other Half Brewing - Center Street

Cloudy yellow. Medium-sized, white head. Aroma of tropical fruits and melon. Less sweet than usual OH. Not strong but decent hoppy bitterness. Easy drinkable.

Pours a very hazy, almost turbid pineapple color with a bone white head that is positively clingy. The nose has an earthy/vegetal, earthy note up front that is interesting and leads to mango and berry notes.

The earthy/vegetal notes on the nose are also present on the taste, and work really well with the fruity flavors imparted by the mango and berry. The mouthfeel is softer and a bit creamy (I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s wheat malt in the grain bill), making this very drinkable.

This is an interesting spin on a hazy, and I am really digging it, but the earthy/vegetal notes may catch some beer nerds off guard.

16 oz can, dated 8/7/18. Poured into Ploughshare wide-mouthed glass (RIP brewery)

Nice hazy honey-orange body with a very thin wispy head of a fingernail's height. Lacing is left as it is swirled.

I'm getting candied passion fruit aromas, slight blood orange, lemon/lime and very slight dill. This is pretty much a spot-on clone to the NE IPA I just bottled a month ago.

Flavor jumps out at you with an almost lemon meringue/key lime pie with passion fruit drizzle sort of vibe. There's some hay in there, faint earthiness, slight stoniness, but mostly lemon/lime and slight passion fruit.

Feel is heavily carbonated and a far cry from their other creamy beers. Slight resins hang on.

Overall, probably the shabbiest OH beer I've had so far. I'm really disappointed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

L - 2-finger offwhite head atop a translucent yellow/orange body.

S - grapefruit, a bit of floral, herb, honey.

T - tons of earthy hops mixed with grapefruit. Sour lime. Dirt. Dead flowers. Grass. Charred toast. Honeysuckle. Moderate bitterness. No sweetness. Low booziness.

F - medium body and average carb.

O - a very different take on an IPA, especially coming from OH. More of a throwback, bitter brew, but instead of caramel malt and piney hops, they used a less sweet malt and more earthy hops (presumably from the Nelson).
