Triple Dry Hopped Double Citra Daydream
Other Half Brewing - Center Street

Look - Pours a hazy straw color with a nice head that that lasts a good while.

Smell - Mellow citrus (I prefer it mellow), and hops. Nice smell.

Taste - A very pleasant amount of citrus and hops.

Feel - Feels like I would expect for a good imperial IPA.

Overall - This is an outstanding IPA; one of the best I've had.

 

Pours a hazy medium straw color, perfect foamy white head that recedes fairly quickly for an OH ipa. Amazing aroma - smells like citrus candy. Loads of lemon and orange, ample grapefruit, and I think I get some pineapple in there. Taste is even better. Sweet but balanced with the hop bitterness, I get loads of citrus up front: lemon, grapefruit, then orange creamsicle. Makes my mouth water. Carbonation lends itself to a creamy texture. Overall, a fantastic oat cream ipa. I am a big fan of the OH oat creams, and after their Triple Crème, this is my favorite. Love the triple dry hop they gave this beer. I am so glad I bought 2 four-packs of this!

Pale orange haze. Nose is creamy tropical candy, mostly pineapple. Taste is very bright orange and mango with some sweet creamy pineapple dole whip to back it. Soft, slick mouthfeel, maybe a little thin. Very slight lingering bitterness.

Served in an imperial nonic pint glass

This beer pours pale yellow and is turbid. It is topped with a couple inches of off-white head that leaves spotty lacing.

Tropical fruit notes with hints of melon

Pretty tasty beer

Thick and milky yellow in the glass with nice, though not super persistent, head. Aroma is pungent, round, sweet citra and not much else. Orange-mango-vanilla ice cream smoothie. The flavor follows and the lactose is there, albeit expertly subtle as additions go. It holds stuff up and ties it together without being in-your-face. I can see why Other Half's milkshake IPAs have always gotten more respect than most. Mouthfeel caps it off with soft, round sweetness and the tiniest hint of hop bitterness (take that last word with a pound of salt) to balance it out and leave you wanting another sip. As it warms the lactose becomes more noticeable, but it still walks a fine line, and the hops open up more as well it basically all just gets "turnt up" in equal proportions. Excellent beer.

From a 16oz can, dated 07/21/23. Served in a spiegelau IPA glass.

Pours a cloudy dull orange with a scant two fingers of soft, lathery head. Retention is excellent, leaving a heavy, sudsy cap and a tattered curtain of lacing.

Nose is doughy and citrusy. Aromas of squishy bread roll, sweet orange and lime.

Taste is juicy, less bready than I expected from the aroma with more harsh citrus-type bitterness and a follow-on sweet candy note. Tasting orange pith, orange peel, grapefruit peel, sticky pineapple, white wine, orange LifeSavers and - unexpectedly- marshmallow fluff.

Feel is creamy and slick with the impression of hop grit embedded in the slickness. Feel is no more than medium bodied - I guess I’d expected more, what with the oats and lactose - with fine, bright carbonation.

Overall, I’m a huge fan of the Daydream series with the oats and the milk sugar although, triple dry-hopped or not, this probably isn’t one of my favorites. At least not without mellowing in the back of the fridge for a couple more weeks - it’s a little greener/harsher than expected and leaves an acidic smoulder in the gullet. I’ll try to hold on to a can to revisit it later. Still pretty damn tasty, and scratches the hop itch most thoroughly.
