    I'm finding that peanut butter in Magic Green Nuggets. Maybe something about their Cascade?

    Grits n greens was really good. I love a unique pils. And it was nice picking it up on a Sunday.

    Not getting any. On the "west coast" ipa it was really strong.

    As far as I know they only brewed ! once. I agree, it was underwhelming, but maybe my expectations were too high given how good Greenbacks was.

    Damn, I was going to post in here to ask if bottles remained and if it might hit distro, now I'm not so sure I need it in my life. It sounded so good though. What's the beef?

    You made five posts, without using the correct name of the beer, and caused multiple responses and confused a lot of people. You even gave thanks about being corrected (see above). Don't you think it's time you finally just use the correct name of their flagship "Other Half IPA" beer from now on?

    I bought one yesterday but I haven't tried it yet. So far that's just one opinion. It doesn't even have any ratings yet.

    Did I miss when IPA became their "flagship" beer? Not being snarky, I just wasn't sure where this came from. It's been repeated here a few times, but they don't refer to it this way in their IG posts that I've seen. I consider Hop Showers, AGE, and GD as much closer to "flagship" beers for OH.

    I forgot where I read it but I also have seen others refer to Other Half IPA that way. Not the best name for the beer but I was OK with it since I thought it was their flagship beer and the can looks cool. Cheers.

    Any chance there are bottles left. (Sorry for asking this a bunch)

    It's not bad. It's light and refreshing. For as, in a friend's words, "aggressively priced" their bottles are, and the length of time it's been conditioning, I expected a bit more complexity. You get the tartness in the smell, there's a little tartness up front, fades to a mild brett character, then the beer is over. For better or worse I've got another to sit on for a while!

    Also double mosaic is incredible.

    When I left work yesterday around 1 pm, there were still some.

    I'll see tomorrow if there are any left.

    Missed the release, but was able to get a 4-Pack of DMD and MGN from a friend. I don't remember the first batch of Double Mosaic Dream being this good. Delicious right out of the gates. Extremely balanced & just the right amount of bitterness. Major blueberry notes that I sometimes get from Mosaic forward beers.

    Other Half IPA is the flagship IPA because it has their name in it. When I go to a bar and the menu says Other Half IPA I know its their "standard" IPA. Even if someone writes Other Half West Coast IPA I still get it because all their beers have names.

    I thought it was a bit too sweet at first, but now it's mellowed out and tasting very nice.
