HDHC Cheddar Special Reserve
Other Half Brewing - Center Street

 

Canned 4/14 cracked 6/8 pours tangerine orange with a beautiful silky pure white merengue head. Aroma is passion fruit, as is taste with orange juice, tangy almost like skittle jelly beans. This is hitting pretty good considering the labeling warned of high density hop charge: Cryo is sometimes to tart-ty for me, personal preference. Any-who, not too sweet, not too tart, has light smacky num num, not really too dry in the finish , which is the OH way. Feel is mid, soft, even keeled. It’s good!

 

Pours pale yellow, very little head formation but good lacing. Nose is cut grass, orange peel , curaçao. Good bite and grassiness on the palate, mildly bitter, sweet orange. Medium mouthfeel, not too heavy. Not bad!

 

L-Light straw colored, hazy, juicy. One finger head. Minimal lacing

S-Lychee, passionfruit, mango

T-Passionfruit, mango, orange. Lychee. Low bitterness and some candied fruit but not overly sweet.

F-Soft, pillowy. Low carb.

O- Very good. Hops bursting with fruity flavors.

 

 

Look - Hazy milky orangish yellow with a nice white head and sticky
Smell -grassy floral citrus, pretty nice
Taste - more citrus and juicy with a slight tropical taste
Feel - medium full body slightly creamy light carb

 

 

A-Off white yellow with a bright white head that is packed into a cloud like structure atop the glass
S-Heavy lycee aroma with notes of citrus and tropical fruits including mandarin, orange and cantaloupe
M-Low end carbonation, medium to full body and a juicy mouthfeel
T-Sweet fruit upfront with a slight booziness that lends itself to a smooth yet puckering bitterness
O-Wonderful brew that definitely brings the cheddar reserve…
