Can from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is fruity hops, tropical fruits, oats, some oniony dankness, mango, orange. Flavour is moderate bitter with a light sweetness. Body is medium. Well-rounded IIPA with plenty going on.

473ml can @ Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury. Pours a glowing pale gold, large white head. Great drinkability, smooth, full bodied with a sharp burst of Mosaic. Quite sweet, a touch aggressive, but nicely presented overall.

Can at home, from Trembling Madness, 14th May 2021. Pours a hazy orange yellow, looks great. Aroma is tropical fruit, citrus and candied orange. Taste is super smooth, sweet and the bittersweet, juicy, tropical and citrus juice, pink grapefruit, fresh, loads going on in this one, oranges soaked in caramelised sugar, a hint of bitter sweetness in the finish. Loving the influx of Other Half to the U.K. just ordered another 10 ew to me from Leftfield, not sure why we are getting so many great US beers now, but keep them coming !

Can. The fact that Other Half are now (occasionally anyway) to purchase online for the free of the EU shackles UK residents is a thing of great beauty. Hey! - Euro stores, get yer act together for shipping to the UK or I will happily switch what I used to spend on EU guys to US imports. Just saying. Hazy orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Palate is light and very mildly dry, a decent fine minerally carbonation. Light malt base, a creamy sweetness. The hops being a nice light crispy pine with a modest but tingling hop spice. Juicy soft lime entwines beautifully with some slightly peel bitter citrus. Touch of Pink grapefruit. Little tangerine. Nice light touch of mango led tropical fruits. Light crisp finish. Whoo! UK and indeed Euro breweries have made significant gains on the likes of Other Half. They are not the holy grail that they used to be, evidenced by the fact that these Other Half cans are still available some days later. All that said, Other Half's effortless elegance, balance and overall presentation shows everyone this side of the Atlantic that they still have some things to learn. Delightful.
