Freaky Friday is here! Two breweries swap recipes and brew each other's beers. This TG-brewed version of Other Half's imperial IPA is brewed with a hand-selected blend of Citra, Mosaic, Simcoe, and Blanc hops, giving notes of mango, sweet orange, pineapple, and lychee.

Pours a murky/milly yellow colour and a frothy, soapy, off white head with a yellow hue. Aroma's of dank hops, citrus, light tropical fruit. Retronasal it's superdank, juicy, onion, light sweet, light bitter. Flavour is moderate bittersweet. Chalky mouthfeel. Creamy and prickly carbonation. Medium bodied. Long finish with increasing bitterness. And obviously a great burp! Two giants, together, what can go wrong?

16 oz. can. Pours a hazy, flat yellow color, with a smaller, white head. The nose is orange juice, dry grass, caraway, light perfume, and grapefruit peel. Sweet and juicy, with a mellow, phenoic bitterness. Medium body, a bit hot, and lightly acidic. Nice, assertive hazy.

Goblet pour is a murky orange with some lacey white head. Nose has orange and grass and soap and pine. Flavor is well balanced, peppy hop, green and citrusy with a melon backbone. Dry and bitter finish.
