Astor Place IPA - Double Dry Hopped
Other Half Brewing - Center Street

 

 

 

Hazy yellow appearance, one finger head, good retention, some lacing. Pineapple, peach, melon, mild sweetness, low bitter. Creamy mouthfeel, moderate to light carbonation.

Surprisingly a miss for me
from Other Half. All others for me from O.H. have been home runs, this was just missing alot for me. Not much hoppy flavor, this was just routine for me.

Exceptional

Poured into a grip shaped goblet: color is straw, murky dense haziness, head is brighter white with a froth of mixed bubble sizes, head presents two fingers thick and moderate lacing.

Aroma is subdued - notes of citrus, light tropical all softened with wheat/oat backing.

Taste is greater in depth than aroma - citrus, stonefruit, tropicals, pith, wheat, oat.

Mouthfeel is low carbonation, moderate sweetness, light/moderate bitterness.

Overall a very solid base style hazy/NE IPA - mixed citrus/tropical and softened presence from the notable wheat/oat additions.

Canned on: 8-6-24

A - Opaque medium yellow gold colored pour with a frothy white lacing ring.

S - Juicy citrus and tropical fruit aroma.

T - Just as the nose suggests: Tropical fruit, peach, grapefruit, and some citrus from start to finish.

M - Big pillowy soft texture with some chewiness and light carbonated pricklies.

O - Definitely a solid IPA.

Hazy lemon color on the pour. Decent head and lacing. Aroma is a menage of lemon, melon and pineapple. Taste follows -- juicy and bold and dry-hopped on the finish. Feel is creamy and very drinkable. ABV is slight for an Imperial. A great brew.

 

This one pours a fairly hazy golden yellow color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This smells like melon, orange, pineapple, and just general citrus.

This is really enjoyable. It’s juicy, but not ridiculously so, with a soft and pleasant juiciness and a nice light bitterness. It’s tropical and citrusy in all the right ways.

This is lighter bodied, a little bit creamy, and very drinkable.

The only IPAs that I want from Other Half these days are in this ABV range.

Pours a hazed gold with a thumb+ of fluffy eggshell colored head. Stellar head retention & lacing

S: Melons & tropical fruit, some grassyness

T: Tangerine, pomelo, green melon & dryness up front, some sweet orange and papaya as well. Dryness, green melons & tangerine, plus a little pineapple as this beer warms up. Finishes a little dry with, green melon, tangerine & lime

MF: Medium body, restrained carbonation, good balance

Tasty & super easy to drink

Two fingers worth of slightly late to develop fluff bone white colored froth... Rock solid retention... Color is a moderately hazed pale lemony yellow... Nose is somewhat understated... Lemon zest and light citrus notes... Perhaps just a slight touch of pine as well... Palate is spot on to the aroma... Understated, but still plenty of goodness happening... Medium bodied... Sturdy... A touch of creaminess and exceedingly smooth... An insanely quaffable IPA... Not as overpowering and in our face as other Other Half brews, but that's okay... This is a damn good beer...

16 oz can poured into an IPA glass.

As an ex NYCer, I am a big fan of this beer name & the can artwork as well. With that out of the way, it is a very good hazy./juicy.
