Tap at the Jeffrey. Dirty gold pour. Nose is tropical fruit and pine. Tastes of pineapple, mango, herbal, pine, some soap. Very bitter finish. Slight odd aftertaste with some funk on finish. Overall interesting brew

Draft at Haymaker, 1/21/16. Murky, kinda ugly pour, almost looks like what would happen if you stick a grapefruit in a blender. Citrus and tropical aroma. Flavor is slightly sweet and finishes fairly dry. Solid mouthfeel. Solid beer, but I expected more from an Other Half brett IPA. Still, decent enough.

Growler shared at Craft Beer Co Clerkenwell - London. Many thanks to Padraig! Pours unclear gold with a frothy, white head. Dank hop aroma, with accents of pine, orange, mango and papaya. Light to medium sweet flavor with mild gooey citrus fruits, pithy dryness, pale bread, melon. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Wonderfully balanced on the finish, with moderate hop resin, more melon, papaya, some oily pine. Excellent. Supremely drinkable.

Craft Clerkenwell. Bottleshare. Thanks to Manny G. Growler pour. Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth and softish. Decent very fine carbonation. Smooth creamy malts, mild to medium sweetness. Trace of aniseed. Modest citrus. Light floral sweetness and hop spice. A bare whisper of something tropical before a light semi dry finish. Spicy linger. Decent if somewhat subdued.

Can thanks to Mr Manny G. It pours cloudy light gold with a medium white head. The nose is fresh, fragrant, juicy, grassy, dank, touch of lychee, cracker, floral notes and guanabana. The taste is dry, bitter, earthy, grassy, dank, light funk even, floral, minerals, pepper and citrus peel with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Fresh, well-rounded, crisp and crushable.

At the source: pours hazy orange gold with a white head. Aroma is tropical fruit,pineapple, hints of citrus. Taste is not very bitter, but not too bretty. Some very light tartness. Some slight sweetness happening there as well. Finish has most bitterness that seeps into aftertaste. Pretty much as expected for an OH beer.

4oz at the brewery pours a super murky, nearly opaque pineapple gold with a ring of white head. Nose has pineapple, orangina, some melon, a little straw. Flavor is all pineapple juice, guava, honeydew, some candy. Finishes a little slick and fruity. Not bad, but a bit of a Tired Hands rip off.
