Juice Pile
Other Half Brewing - Center Street

 

1 Pint can
Served in a stemless wine glass

This beer pours pale yellow and is turbid. It is topped with a couple inches of beige head that leaves lacing rings as I consume.

Dank and citrusy.

Slightly sweet flavor followed by copious amounts of citrus with a focus on grapefruit.

Full bodied with a creamy mouthfeel

Nice beer from Other Half

Appearance: Pours a completely hazy (5-10% clarity) medium and bright orange color with a massive white head. SRM of 8. (4.25)

Compared to Toppling Goliath Fire, Skulls, & Money 2/26: Pours similar, similar aromas. More lemon, pineapple, orange. Less zesty grapefruit and floral notes. Juicier and sweeter.

Compared to Other Half Stacks on Stacks 3/26: Pours lighter, stronger aromas. More orange, grape, mango, berries. Less gooseberry, passionfruit, guava. Tropical and sweeter.

Overall: Other Half Juice Pile. Some Luminosa and Strata give it some juicy lemon and pineapple. Still has the white grape notes from Nelson. Fantastic array and complexity of flavors here. Bright, juicy flavors, complex. Drinks rounded and great body. Incredible IPA and hop complexity. (Rating: 4.33)

I got a tall boy can of this beer off the single shelf from the beer store located just around the corner from my old house. It poured a smoothie hazy golden with white head that is leaving some lace. The scent had strong California citrus notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with bright sweet malt base with orange citrus juice presence. The mouthfeel was medium in body and had good carbonation. Overall it is a solid beer.

 

A - Pours a hazy orange with large fluffy white head. Tons of soapy lacing.

S - Aroma is peach, white grape, lemon and grapefruit.

T - The taste is orange juice, peach, white grape, candied lemon, strawberry, grapefruit and a light resinous hop bite.

M - Medium body with medium carbonation. Creamy mouthfeel with a nice soft finish.

O - Solid.

 

 

Standard haze. Fresh tropical and citrusy aroma, nothing stands out. A lot of candied orange and peaches on the palate. Intense terpene alcohols throughout. A small bite of resin, but that shouldn't be too surprising for a beer that was canned 17 days ago.

 

 

Can poured into a Mountain Rambler Brewery pint glass

A: Pours hazy golden yellow with a frothy off white head that settles to a firm layer and laces nicely.

S: Bright juicy citrus, followed by ripe tropical and stone fruit, white grape, slight green resinous grassy notes, a touch floral, biscuity malt, and caramel honey sweetness.

T: Bright citrus, lemonade, orange, and a touch of lime, exotic, tropical, and stone fruit, white grape, guava, pineapple, peach, apricot, papaya, gooseberry, strawberry, and a hint of boysenberry, subtle earthy herbal notes, a touch grassy and floral, biscuity malt, and caramel honey sweetness.

M: Medium body, moderate carbonation, soft on the palate, surprisingly light for 8%.

O: Dangerously crushable for a DIPA. Super interesting hop combo, though I wish it packed a couple more IBUs to counter the sweetness.

 

 

Pours a very cloudy opaque golden color with a finger width foamy head. Head retention is very good. Lacing is excellent. Juicy citrus grapefruit aroma. Grapefruit is strong on the taste. I get a little more tropical on the end with a decent bitterness. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation.
