A DIPA collaboration with our friends from Brooklyn, Other Half Brewing. Along with our pale malt Golden Promise, the beer uses a reasonably large percentage of oats in the mash for a creamy body and soft mouthfeel.
A low bitterness target (for a DIPA) of around 60IBU was aimed for and Citra, Mosaic & Denali hops added to the whirlpool for loads of tropical/citrus flavour. We went heavy on the dry hopping with lots more Citra and Mosaic as well as some Simcoe, Amarillo & HBC 438. The finished beer has a really punchy aroma as well as a super juicy fruit like flavour and soft mouthfeel.

500ml can all to myself. Pours a hazy golden amber, small white head. Aroma of punchy pine, heavily hopped citra, amarillo citric fruit. Heavily hopped taste, thankfully lacking the mushy, unclear, unfocussed mess of other murky DIPAs, settling instead into a well-defined, balanced character with a good bright bitterness. Of the new crop of stupidly-hopped DIPAs this, for me, stands out with Brew By Numbersโ efforts. Excellent.

Can shared in London - big thanks to Dave. Pours clear gold with a creamy, white head. Great aroma, lots of fleshy citrus fruits, mild tropical notes, steadying pale bread, melon. Medium sweet flavour with ripening tropical fruits, piney bitterness, mango, papaya. Medium to full bodied with massaging carbonation. Well balanced finish, resinous, lightly warming, more tropical fruits, lots of mango, tangerine. Excellent.
