We teamed up with our homies at Other Half to continue our long standing basketball themed collab series. Alley Oop combines Strata, Cashmere, El Dorado and Citra hops in the boil; we went Citra heavy here. For dry hopping we used Strata & Cashmere, two of our favorites right now. The end result is nothing less than what you would expect; a hazy, tropical, juicy, drinkable DIPA that crushes. We're here for the assist, it's your time to shine.

16 oz. can from a trade with tfontana. Aroma is grapefruit, pineapple chunks in syrup, and mild florals. Flavor is much the same with an underlining sweetness that is countered by floral bitterness. Canned 3/18/22. Not sure if an earlier can would matter.

Can (5/20/21) pour--appropriate while watching the NBA Finals. It's an opaque light brown-dark yellow with light sparkle, finger-plus width white foamy head with good retention and light lacing. Aroma is strong tropical and stone fruits (immediately upon popping the top from over a foot away), pineapple, tangerine. Taste follows aroma with strong flavors of pineapple, tangerine and other tropical and stone fruits and late grainy malt backbone. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, soft carbonation, mild alcohol warmth and finish as taste with lingering malty finish. Overall, fires on all cylinders. Really good.
