On tap at Other Half - Rockefeller Center, pours an opaque yellow with a small white head. Aroma is fairly dank, with dank hops, some hopburn, and light tang. Flavour is juicy, with plenty of dank hops, moderate sweetness, pithy stone fruits, and a touch of allium. Reasonably structured, not too chalky with enough sweetness to balance the thick mouthfeel. Good.

(On tap @ Witchstock 2018, Toronto, Sept 29/18) Pours very hazy dark gold with a white head. Notes driven by massive and almost aromatic spruce and cedar boughs and wet leaves, over fresh citrus, white grape, papaya, soft sweet mango/peach, touch of creamy sweet malt in the back for support, finishing dry with citrus zest touches and lots of lingering cedar and grass, very fresh and aromatic. Not a typical OH beer, but I admit as a juice lover I still was totally taken by the unique quality of the Nelson here. I drank two.

Can thanks to Will. Pours a cloudy yellow with medium white head that lasts. The aroma is grass and citrus. Slick body, juicy, melon, grass, light bitterness, very nice.

Pours a very hazy, peach-orange-yellow, with minimal head. Aroma is quite distinct, with almost a turpentine vibe going on. Seriously, the pine/spruce hoppiness is in overdrive here. There's some citrus and tropical fruit going on, too, but the hops. THE HOPS! Flavor pretty much follows suit. Very hoppy. Very pine/spruce hoppiness up front, with some citrus and tropical fruit laying wait in the background. A slight sweetness. This is one of the few Other Half beers where I haven't tasted a certain hop-burn or alcohol-burn in the finish (which is a good thing, by my watch). Not bad.

At the source: pours orange haze with white head. Aroma is tropical fruit... typical NEIPA stuff. Taste is a bit bitter and quite sweet. Nice fruity notes. Quality as always.

Keg at the OH taproom. Pours milky yellow-gold with a small, foamy white head. Serious dank juice sauce, quite sweet, lots of citrus purée, peach, mango, papaya, soft rindy bitterness. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly warming in the finish, more mango, orange, low bitterness. Great fun.
