Double Dry Hopped All Motueka Everything
Other Half Brewing - Center Street

 

Cloudy OJ color with a fat finger of yellowed head that leaves messy lacing.

Grass and slightly underripe pineapple in the nose. Flashes of strawberry and maybe coconut.

Sweet tasting with an interesting mix of herbs, heavily-sweetened lemonade and berries.

Full bodied mouthfeel with some slow-building fizz.

Really enjoyed this one. I dig the berry-flavored hops.

 

Pours a pale, creamy orange. Very opaque and with a thick, fluffy head that lasts for quite a while. This was canned on 5/11 so it's really nice and fresh.

Nose is super fruity. Citrus and mango with maybe a little grassy, green onion funk in the background. My spring allergies are affecting my nose so that's about all I can pick up.

Taste is smooth and surprisingly subtle. I get candied fruit with a hint of cream. There's a brighter citrus note, kind of lemon-limey along with the candied orange notes. Just a little bit of tartness and bitterness in the finish. With no hint of the alcohol, this one is just super smooth and easy to drink.

Feel is fairly creamy and mouth-coating, more so than the other "All ____ Everything" series from Other Half. I'd say it's on the edge of how creamy I like my IPAs but it doesn't offend me. I tend to like beers with Motueka hops so I was pretty excited to try the hop in a solo setting. It doesn't blow me away, but it makes for a very solid and subtle NE IPA. I'd get it again.
