Poured from the can into a Spiegelau IPA glass.
Muted and opaque pale orange body color, with light touches of fine slow rising white carbonation. Classic rich and frothy creamy topped three finger head, off white in color. Scattered pill lacing with a little lighter retention than most NEIPAs even from Other Half.
Delicious aroma. Hop forward notes of grass and citrus peels. Oily touches of orange and lemon zest, with a nice candy like almost peppermint like scent. Fairly classic Other Half NEIPA aroma, but that makes for a great nose.
Palate is real good, with some interesting surprises. Playful hinting creamy body, but also somewhat bubbly accenting a spicy bitterness that pushes the hops really forward. Citrus oils again that come off spicy with orange oil and a great sharp bitterness that cuts nicely. Finishes with a good creamy touching notes and pine bitterness flavors that feel classic and great.
Another solid NEIPA from the Other Half crew as always.

Pours cloudy orange, fluffy head and lacing. Tropical, slight citrusy scents. Taste is stronger, juicier, more citrus than tropical notes on the tongue. A bit creamy, medium bodied, assertive alcohol presence. Quite good in its subtlety.

Poured from a 16-oz can stamped “03/12/24” to a Nonic at fridge temp.
The body is apricot in color and is opaque hazy. A full even-bubbled white head fades to spider lacing.
The aroma mixes mango with a distinct hop sensation.
The mango theme continues with apricot joining in. This beer is sweet until a few seconds after the swallow, then your mouth dries out suddenly. Alcohol is barely noticeable for an 8.5% beer.
The body is medium in mouthfeel, tongue coating until that dryness comes along..
Overall a pretty good beer, but it's getting hard to distinguish the OH line of NEIPAs.
