Patchwork V2
Other Half Brewing - Center Street

 

 

 

 

Decanted from a 16 oz (473 ml) can into a shaker pint glass; canned on 02/12/21.
A: At the start, I want to point out that the label is some sort of plasticized and ribbed material which I have not seen before. Pours a opaque, orange color (looks a lot like OJ) with exuberant head formation leaving a three finger, fluffy lemon chiffon head, at least half a finger of retention, and sticky rings of lacing.
S: Aromas of orange, cantaloupe, and pink grapefruit up from with more barley, oregano/basil, and light pine later.
T: Sweet and fruity. Flavor is orange, lemon chiffon, and cantaloupe/melon with a serious caramel or honey base, and herbal elements very much in the background. Bitterness subtle and seems to service to sharpen the flavors.
M: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Creamy, juicy, and luscious.
O: A quality AIIPA from Other Half. Love the fruitiness; seemed like a grown up version of a Creamsicle®.

Hazy/murky yellow with a finger of pearl white foam. Aromas of peach, mango, orange, and grapefruit with dry hops. Taste adds to this mixture lychee, citrus, especially grapefruit, blossoms over time. Feel is hazy and cool with moderate brightness. Pretty standard but well done, good for any time of year
