Much Too Much
Other Half Brewing - Center Street

Cloudy, orange color. Nice, white head. Tropical fruits and oat malt in the aroma. Smooth, juicy, moderately bitter taste. Good hazy IPA from a good brewery.

 

I’ve probably drank more Other Half than any other brewery in the last few months. Yet another great IPA from them. Citrusy and piney, slightly dank, zesty, strong citra characteristics. Dry finish with a subtle body and booze presence. Excellently subdued.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Growler into pint glass. Pours a murky medium honey color with a persistent and exububerant off-white head. Great lacing. Initial impression is juicy citrus, a bit of pine, and a restrained sweetness. Mouthfeel is thick and sticky. Finish fades to sweet citrus and a hint of pine. Overall, quite enjoyable.

 

Typical good looks from an OH DIPA: cloudy, opaque orange color, 2 finger thick foamy off white colored head that faded slowly and left excellent camouflage lacing coating the tulip glass. Smells of pineapple, guava juice, melon, tangerine, oranges, mango, orange creamsicle and some spicy notes like tea leaf and dry floral hops. Flavor is dank and super hoppy with a lot of citrus and tropical fruits; the taste is sweeter than the nose indicates with lemon zest, caramel, yeast, papaya and buttery biscuit mixed in with the pineapple, guava juice, melon, tangerine, mango, orange creamsicle, and peppery spices like coriander and tea leaf. The mouthfeel is creamy and on the dry side, with low bitterness, masking the ABV quite well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Picked this up recently at Other Half, having never had this before. Loved the name and idea behind this beer and as it turned out, this was indeed a juicy hop bomb that like nearly every other beer that I've had from these guys, went down way too easily!

This had a golden hue to it that was plenty cloudy and quietly radiant. Such a massive head that took forever to settled as it was topped off with a nice amount of big bubbles that rose to the surface. Lots of layered rings down the bottom two-thirds of my pint glass with them getting progressively thicker towards the bottom. A ton of tangerine and cream in the nose along with some dank hops, oats, and a hit of swamp water. Some heavier pineapple, Hawaiian Punch, and Jack fruit emerged in the taste as the Mosaic and Vic Secret were present enough to balance out the Citra. Between the hops and the oats, the aftertaste was plenty sticky as the carbonation was lively enough to keep this as light as possible.

Enough booze was in here but it was hard to detect except for a hint in the aftertaste and a slight buzz that kicked in once I finished this off. Canned on the 9th of this month with "TOO MUCH TOO FAST" written underneath that, this was a hoppy beer without the burn or heft that would come with so many of those. Lovers of Other Half like me will enjoy this while being amazed at how fast it flies out of your glass...
