Other Half (2019)

Did you have Diamond Reflection? Thought that was one of the best I've had this year.

 

Would it be bad form to suggest a 2020 OH - Rochester thread?

 

No.. I remember hearing good things tho. The Nelson (yellow?) Chroma was also really good.

 

Can't remember if I said this before but Diamond Reflection was incredible

 

Doing periodic dry streaks has definitely caused my palate to shift. Really can't do the dessert Berliners at all anymore. Shared cans of Mixed Berry Crunchee and Syrup Caddy last night and I couldn't finish either of them.

 

I am by no means an "insider," but when I asked about it last weekend, I was told that the beer simply hadn't "come together" in the way that they'd hoped. The person I spoke to was honest enough to imply that new brewers may have been involved with this batch and QC is still being worked out. In fairness, brewing is a complex process, and this sort of thing can easily happen.

On the other hand, if Other Half brewed reasonably sized stouts with limited adjuncts more often, I imagine it would happen less.

 

For anyone looking for straight up stout, Sixpoint has a Double Oak version of Master Blend releasing on 26th. OG Master Blend was pretty awesome, no need for every adjunct under the sun.

 

It says the 25th which is a Friday. Is that a mistake?

 

curious as to how that key lime pie thing is tasting. every other key lime ipa i've had in the past has been pretty atrocious..i'm keeping an open mind though

 

Mistake, it is the 26th. Are you coming ? If so, lets hang out.

 

I'm back in the US, what did I miss, is @rozzom banned again? Key Lime Pie beers, fruit beers, and a Galaxy Hop Showers, anything else?

 

I actually really like the Key Lime Pie IPA, it tastes exactly as described.

 

Filled out!

 

I wish they would non-DDH Green Power. That first batch could have been the best sub 8.5 ABV beer they ever put out.
