Cloudy yellow pour with a medium foamy bright white head that diminishes steadily to a film. Sparse strings of lace. Aroma of herbal hops, citrus and malt. Medium body with flavors of grassy hop, grapefruit, melon and biscuit malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a lingering citrusy hop aftertaste. Pretty good all around.

Love it. And what’s more, it’s great. Love these hops. Badass. I should get paid for these notes. Yet another great Other Half full collab.

Pretty good. Fruity. Way better than Every Trill and Daddy's Home.

Crisp, very sweet, rich and pillowy, but with the signature Other Half hop zip. Hmm, slightly phenolic on the finish

Can from Matt: pours hazy yellow with white head. Aroma is citrus, pineapple, hint of booze. Taste is very fruity, tangy, with light bitterness. It was pretty intense generally.

Pint can pours with a murky opaque dull deep gold body that has thin copper hues and supports a nice off white head of foam. The aroma offers up tangy tangerine, papaya, guava and mango. The taste delivers similar notes with juicy tangy tangerine, mango, guava and papaya with a thin citrus peel sensation in the background. This comes together beautifully and there's virtually no sense of the ABV.
