Double Dry Hopped Spinach
Other Half Brewing - Center Street

 

Can poured into a Mountain Rambler Brewery pint glass

A: Pours hazy golden amber with a frothy cream white head that settles to a firm layer and laces very nicely.

S: Lively citrus, resinous pine, exotic, tropical and stone fruit, berries, grassy slightly herbal notes, biscuity malt, and a little caramel sweetness.

T: Bright citrus, grapefruit, lemon lime, and tangerine, a mix of exotic, tropical, and orchard fruit, pineapple, pear, melon, papaya, white grape, apricot, peach, gooseberry, blueberry, passion fruit, and hints of cherry and plum, resinous pine, a bit grassy, faint herbal tones, biscuity malt, and a little caramel sweetness.

M: Medium body, moderate carbonation, soft on the palate.

O: I'm whelmed by this one. There are moments where the flavors come together really nicely, but then there are also moments when the citrus and pine is a bit abrasive and the El Dorado takes over in a way that I'm not wild about. Not my favorite, but if I had to ingest spinach in any form, this would be my first choice.

 

 

 

Pours cloudy orange/sand color with a foamy off-white head that faded very slowly and left excellent foamy lacing coating the glass. It smells like skunky weed, fresh cut grass, herbs, scallions, orange peel, tangerine, lemon zest, grapefruit, mango, biscuit, coriander and Pine Sol cleaner. Very dank aroma with the dry hopping allowing all kinds of floral and citrus notes to hit the air. The flavor was tart like fresh squeezed orange juice and grapefruit juice mixed together with lemons, tangerines, pineapple, tea leaves, mint, skunk weed, apricot, yuzu, coriander, fresh cut flowers, peppery spices, orange creamsicle and sweet malty elements like a buttery biscuit as it fades. High level of bitterness throughout but it has a smooth mouthfeel and slid down easier than expected for such a tart, bitter brew.

 

 

first other half beer. long overdue (theyre expensive mind you). this is seriously good ipa, a nice dankness to it, tropical fruits, mango, pineapple, some orange, orange pith, pink grapefruit, floral and herbal notes, hint of honey, nice levels of bitterness, full bodied, medium carbonation, big enough for its strength, all in all makes for very nice drinking indeed.
