Small Cashmere Everything
Other Half Brewing - Center Street

My first experience with Other Half Brewing AND cashmere hops!!! Mild but pretty enjoyable!!! Poured from a 16 oz can into a pint glass, this beer had the standard good NE IPA "look": Hazy pale straw yellow color, medium sized foamy white head, good retention and lacing. The aroma and taste were a bit different though based on the single hop basis for the beer. Cashmere hops appear to provide a sweeter and more delicate flavor featuring lemon. The typical NE IPA is heavy on other citrus (usually orange/tangerine or grapefruit). Both feature some tropical fruit but again, the cashmere hops flavor is more muted. Cashmere Everything has a moderate amount of bitterness, is a bit sweet and goes down fairly easily. I had it with a chicken and rice dinner and it paired up well. A strong tasting meal would have rendered this beer more invisible. I would want a stronger tasting IPA with Thai or Mexican. In all, a good beer. I will probably be coming across more Cashmere hops in the future,

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pours a hazy, murky golden orange color. 2 finger fluffy white head. Lots of nice lacing as the head dissipates, and the retention is good.
The nose has a mild pineapple aroma. Not too strong, but nice.
Taste - like the nose, a mellow, but pleasing pineapple flavor.
The body is good, and has a softer feel to it.
Tasty IPA. Good to try.

Poured from a 16 ounce can into an IPA glass.

Look- Frothy white head, Between pale and medium gold, hazy, above average head retention, average lacing.

Smell- Mango, melon, weak aromatics.

Taste- Mango, honeydew, subtle flavor.

Feel- Medium body, soft, below average carbonation, low bitterness, clean finish, slightly creamy.

Overall- Nice, easy drinking beer. Both flavor and bouquet were weak.

 

 

 

Not that I could rate this low but I don’t think that the “small” series fits my favored profile. It’s more “watery” and less potent on the nose than most of their brews. Still looks like a hazy pillowy headed beauty with lacing abounding on this brew. They even manage a somewhat creamy feel out of a less flavored brew.

hoppy ipa great hop flavor all thru the drink

 

16oz canned 11/19/20, opened 1/2/21.
2 finger white head, creamy and dense. Excellent retention.
Opaque, pale gold. Full lacing.
Woodsy, coconut aroma. Stone fruit, cantaloupe and more melon as it comes up in temperature.
Creamy lime and coconut flavor combination...unique.
Full body, soft mouthfeel, and low bitterness. Quick, flavorful, and mostly dry finish.
Very Good.
