Overall: Other Half with a new release of Southern Hemisphere hops. Riwaka and Motueka give it a nice green lime and berry flavor balanced by the vinous white grape of Nelson. A bit hot out of the can, but it's settling out and the tropical flavors are emerging as it sits. I knew this was going to amazing, but didn't know how good. (Rating:

16oz can, dated 05.04.2023, poured into a 16oz tumbler glass. Enjoyed on 06.22.2023, reviewed from Tasting Journal.

The beer pours a bright golden straw color, super hazy, turbid, foamy white head that yields spotted lacing. The aroma is nice, very dank, floral, grass clippings, citrus peel, bright tropical fruits, pale grain, mineral water. The flavors are very nice, super juicy, lots of bright tropical fruits, peach, pineapple, berries, tangy citrus with a nice grassy and floral hop character, somewhat dank, green and a bit raw with earthy pale grain. The mouthfeel is good, coating, super smooth medium body, easy, creamy, with a lightly dry finish.

Verdict: A really nice NEIPA from Other Half. The hop profile really works and offers a nice range of flavor from bright and juicy tropical fruits to more earthy and green bitter hop plant. Good balance, super easy to drink, hides the ABV expertly well. Nicely done.

 

 

 

 

 

Feeling it. First words. First thought. Feeling it. Like Michael Andretti getting a perfect pit stop, to Shamu being set free - I’m into it. It’s just slides and glides like smooth perfection. And then you have this Southern Hemisphere stuff - and unfortunately, Raul has never been. He has to live through tv and stuff No Reservations style (rip). Anyway, like a horse eating hay, I’ll get out of the way.

Is fluoride free the way to go?
