Forever Ever (Non-DDH)

Poured from a can dated 12/30/2015. Aroma is hop forward with a lot of orange and tangerine hop notes. Lighter grapefruit and pine resin. Light cracker malt notes with hints of caramel. Pours a somewhat hazy, golden orange with a medium sized, fairly thick, white head that recedes slowly to a thin film that lingers. Medium lacing and no legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with some cracker and biscuit notes as well as light bread and caramel notes. Medium high bitterness. Hop flavor is moderate with a lot of orange and tangerine. Lighter grapefruit pith and pine resin. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice session IPA. I prefer a fruitier hop profile to my session IPAs and a bit less bitterness, but this is still nice. Lots of citrus and the grain is present giving a nice mouthfeel.

At the source: pours orange with a white head. Aroma is kind of gassy and stinky but not really in a bad way. Taste is slightly bitter at the front with some biscuit or something toward the back. Not at all watery pr anything like that. Not bad.

Tap at Draught 55. Light yellow pour white sudsy head. Nose is herbal and grassy. Tastes of fresh grass, herbal, spearmint, lemons, not getting much malt backbone. Light bodied and slightly harsh palate. Anyways different little beer.

A hazed golden ale with a thin lacing white head. In aroma, sweet biscuit malt with grassy floral hops, herbaceous character, clover, very nice. In mouth, a nice biscuit malt with loads of resinous floral hops, grapefruit pulp, light mineral notes, very nice. On tap at WOB Chelsea.

Keg at the Ginger Man - NYC. Pours lightly hazy gold with a creamy white head. The nose has some crackery pale malts, grain, suggestions of tangerine. Odd flavor, muddled and unpleasant, with nips of plastic, oily grass, grain husk. Light bodied with fine, soft carbonation. Lightly astringent on the finish, more husky grains, lemon rind, harsh grass. Something must be off here, old keg or something perhaps - this beer in front of me is really not good at all. (23 September 2015, score: 2.3)

Can in London. Definitely a bit better than on draft, but the hop character does seem somewhat neutered. Pours hazy gold with a creamy, white head. Mellow dry pale malts in the nose, some lemon and tangerine. Light sweet flavour with suggestions of biscuits, lemon rind, pine needles, tangerine, peach. Light bodied with average carbonation. Pretty clean on the finish, with mild bready pale malts, more citrus fruits, low bitterness, some pine and hay. Pretty drinkable stuff. (23 March 2016, score: 3.4)

Draft at Other Half. It pours hazy gold with a small white head. The nose is fresh, juicy, grass, light herbal, peach, mandarin, tangerine, bread, fruit pie and brioche. The crisp, bitter, grassy, earth, minerals, light pepper, pithy orange, mandarin and grapefruit with a dry finish. Light. - Medium body and moderate carbonation. Good session gear.

Draught @ Astoria Bier & Cheese. Cloudy bright yellow with medium sized foamy white head, floral hops aroma, low carbonation, smooth piney hops taste with surprisingly smooth palate, medium hoppy finish. Another great IPA from Other Half, these guys certainly know how to use hops!
