Other Half Brewing August 2016

Everyone gets so upset when someone presents some unfavorable opinion of some OH beers.

I think you guys are missing the essences of this forum. This is a forum where everyone was free to share their thoughts on the beers but I guess you guys much rather just talk how long the lines are.

 

i got just the right amount of bitterness from my space diamonds can. in fact most trillium/treehouse beers ive had could use less sunny D taste and more bitterness

I throw my fair share of shade at Other Half when they deserve it.
But your comments are kind of vague "Mylar bags is overrated it's a poor mans NE style IPA for people who don't know any better". You are absolutely entitled to that opinion but why do you feel this way? What about the beer fell flat for you? I think most people on here are awesome and would be open to a discussion when you add a little context.

 

I fully respect your opinions but thought your articulation was lazy and non-specific. I mean, dude, you used a single generic adjective to describe a DIPA (mind you, an adjective that is frequently used to describe said style).

 

Had my growler of Mylar Bags last night and thought it was pretty good. Nailed the mouthfeel but lacked the depth of flavor that my favorite IPAs have, including some from OH. Felt more like a pale ale or single IPA in terms of flavor. Falls in the middle of the pack for me in terms of OH releases this year, slightly above !, which was similarly disappointing for me in terms of depth of flavor.

 

That's my beef with it. Thought it was really one dimensional, the finish on it also didn't help with drinkability.
Before I continue I'll say that OH beers are dramatically different from drafts and cans

 

Like other people said before me, I don't think it was about your difference of opinion but rather your tone and vagueness about it. Everyone has their own taste and preferences, of course you're allowed to disagree; but I doubt you'd have gotten the response you did had you given specifics on what you disliked about the beer, rather than taking a shot at all the people who posted praises about it the last few pages.

"Mylar bags is overrated it's a poor mans NE style IPA for people who don't know any better" - You might not have meant it to be, but that reads pretty rude to me.

 

That said I'm pretty stoked to try Mylar Bags today, planning to grab a pint to go at Beer Table pending they still have it before my commute home.

 

They still have cans of BBS and Simcoe according to their Instagram post. Is this the longest they've gone after a release that they still have leftover cans?

 

Baby Diamonds was available until at least Wednesday following the release 2 weeks ago as well.

 

I grabbed some Hop Showers the Wednesday after, as well. I wonder if that will change now that summer is over though. I hope not!

 

Is it possible its due to poor quality of canning by Iron Heart? Dissolved oxygen? I feel like most breweries that use Iron Heart you cant taste such a difference. But Kane used Iron Heart once and the beer was so different in the cans that they never canned with them again. They got their own line and the cans were 100x better.
