    Is Cashmere + Galaxy going to drop or are they just going to keep teasing us?

    Oooh. My guess (and maybe I'm just homering) is that there was some issue canning and they lost the batch. They're maniacal about dissolved oxygen and fill level. I've seen some of the low fills and would swear it's a full can of beer. Look at how few bad cans we've had over the years.

    Edit: And some cans probably made their way out via employees just like some of the low fills do.

    I've drank more cans of Other Half than I've had of any other NYC craft brewery, and I don't recall a single bad can, which is mightily impressive.

    I've had ONE bad can throughout the years of drinking OH beers and that was last summer's DDH Galaxy. Was super brown and tasted like cardboard. Was really depressing because it was my last can.

    Space Hallucinations is great fresh, but I could see this being amazing in 2-3 weeks.

    Oxidized... so maybe a faulty seal or low fill?

    Same about the incredible quality consistency of OH cans. The only ones that tasted bad were, I suspect, bad tasting beers to begin with (*clears throat* Topical Depression).

    I've been going to releases pretty consistently for about 2 years, and the only can I ever questioned the quality was Citra Motueka. That beer poured WAY darker than their normal IPA's.

    I was eating some Cotton Candy Grapes yesterday and I could see them working well in an IPA. Maybe it's time for Grape Conversate 2.0?

    Definitely oxidized. But just one can with any issue over 3 years is pretty impressive

    Pour was really dark and gross looking. Only bad can here as well.

    That's the only one I think of and part of me thinks they tried a different, darker body.

    Nope, not now, not ever.

    Kinda thinking the "cream" treatment with lactose and oats may make it a top beer.
