Other Half (October 2018)

I’m currently drinking a Idaho 7 & Galaxy and I have to say this is definitely the best dual hop I’ve had in some time and easily my favorite OH IPA of the ones I’ve had lately.

Bursting with Galaxy tropical fruit and grassyness, and best of all a unique, dry, white wine vineous quality. Really great stuff.

 

Yes! Couldn’t quite put my finger on what that extra taste over the galaxy was... white wine for sure. Duel Hops ftw as always.

 

Only wish I bought more than 1 four pack!

 

The dry white vine taste on the tip of your tongue is why Galaxy is my favorite... I was surprised ID7 + Galaxy lasted so long, it was around the Friday after, I double back and grabbed another 2 four packs.

 

I don’t ever really get that from Galaxy, but there was a lot here. It was pretty big on the nose with this beer. Very nice stuff.

 

I have never experienced the white wine flavor/characteristic from Galaxy and I use it in a ton of my homebrews. I’m very interested to see if I can get this flavor to pop out when I brew next.

I have gotten white wine from Nelson, Rakau and Wai-iti.

 

i think it's more from the combo of the ID7 and galaxy rather than the galaxy alone.

 

ID7/G is fantastic!

 

That makes sense. I actually get a bit of a vinous, lemon flavor from ID7 which I really dont enjoy. Mixed with other hop varities it is less prevelant but alone it’s overwhelming to me.

Unfortunately I have 8 oz of ID7 that I need to use soon...better drown it out with galaxy and nelson!

 

Damn getting ID7/Galaxy FOMO. Guess I'll wait for its food rename, Veal Osso Buco

 

PB SDH is pretty good, but definitely getting way more milk chocolate than peanut butter. Tastes like off-brand Reeses

 

@RobNewton - it’s officially Nov 1 the world over (Hawaii and American Samoa included). Please please can you start the monthly thread, in a manner that mirrors the well articulated thread titles for other breweries. And please no fun - this is serious business

 

Guys, if it tastes like chocolate and PB, it doesn't necessarily taste like Reese's. Reese's has a specific weird fake PB taste that is seemingly almost impossible to replicate, and yet every chocolate/PB thing ever is compared to Reese's. Props to @SpinSamzo for getting it right and no I will not apologize for getting upset about this

 

I want to apologize for causing the great Reese's debate of October 2018. The fake PB taste is exactly what makes me crave them. As penance, I will go through my son's Halloween candy and eat every single Reese's that he has followed by shotgunning my remaining cans of SDH.

 

For the record @kthoag i mentioned trader joe branded pb cups well before sam’s comment

 

Pics or gtfo.

 

It actually gave me extremely bad gas last night, like it was hard to sleep.

 

Yes I saw and I smiled down at you from my high horse. All - let me amend, rozzom is also not An Idiot
