Double Idaho 7 Daydream
Other Half Brewing - Center Street

Poured from can dated 1-7-20. Deep cloudy orange with two inch head that stays a quarter thick through drinking. Aroma is fruity citrusy but there’s a spice or something that I can’t pin down. I get no carbonation on the mouthfeel. Would like to have a little bit the taste is creamy with light hops and the finish is smooth with no bitterness. Hard to rate bc the mouthfeel seems strange and unintentional but otherwise a good brew and still better than a lot of ipas.

Another easy drinking IPA. The best of the four beers I had when I visited Brooklyn. 4.25

A - Another one of those cloudy orange yellow brown NE IPA. Ugly but the style. 3.75

S - Has a marajunana aroma with a bit of spice in the finish. Very cool and very unique. 4.75

T - Faint sweetness, more herbs than citrus hoppiness. 4.25

MF - Smooth, medium light with a slightly dry/slightly bitter finish. 4.5

Dank / tropic blend in both aroma and taste. Got the perfect mouthfeel going on and nice and chewy in body.

 

 

 

L - pours a hazy orange murk. Fantastic lacing as the fluffy, oily head settles. Sticks real good.

S - fresh and lemony. Dank hop resins. Ripe, sticky melon and an overall humid vibe. Getting some peach candy as it warms.

T - grape candy and onions. Grassy and herbal, but at the same time sweet and tangy. Lots of candy flavors a la peach, apricot, lemon, and perhaps some pineapple. Excellent dichotomy between floral bitterness and candied fruit zest. Doesn't seem resiny at first, but once you take a step back, the immense hop saturation becomes readily apparent.

F - supple and creamy. I would expect no less from a Daydream. Nails the carbonation this time around. Thick, but not too thick. Thicc. Just two c's.

O - a guy below says this is uncomplicated, but I think there's a lot going on here. Idaho 7 is a unique hop with flavors I'm having difficulty pinpointing, but so far it seems to be a rambunctious mixture of sweet, dank, and herbal. Not something I'd want to drink every day, but hits the odd spot when you're jonesing for it.

 

 

 

Pours a hazy light orange, with soft, fine head.

Smell is juicy and fresh, with notes of citrus, apricots and some peach.

Taste is fruity and juicy, with apricots and peaches being joined by a nice, bitterness, moderately strong. Great balance and hides the ABV exemplary.

Mouthfeel is medium, soft and silky, well carbonated.

Overall, a really good DIPA, a bit more bitter than most OH I've had, and with their patented mouthfeel.

This one pours a very hazy and creamy looking orange color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This smells mainly like creamy pineapple, with some lactose too.

This is uncomplicated, but very tasty. The Idaho 7 hops impart mainly pineapple, with a slight touch of bitterness on the finish.

This is thick and creamy, with a great level of drinkability, and a soft level of carbonation. Like all Daydream beers, this is soft and sits so lightly on the palate, despite the big body.

This is yet another wonderful beer from this series. I'm not sure there's been a bad Dream or Daydream beer yet.
