Description
In 2014, Sam Richardson, Matt Monahan and Andrew Burman founded Other Half Brewing Company, a local brewery in New York City with a simple mission: to create beers that they wanted to drink from a company that they wanted to be a part of. Their vision was to build a passionate team that brewed great beers in the state of New York—done so with effort and thoughtfulness—to represent the “Other Half” of the industry. Today, Other Half craft beers in their Brooklyn brewery and are dedicated to collaborating with breweries both in New York as well as across the world in an effort to constantly move the industry forward while elevating the craft. The Other Half team believes that local breweries play an important role in their communities which is why they partner with these other likeminded brewers and brands in local nabes across the country and the world—but always return to their home state of New York and their Brooklyn taproom.

PLEASE NOTE: As of 2023, Other Half no longer markets beers as "Double Dry Hopped". Instead, the DDH version is now listed as just the beer name, and the non-DDH version has been retired.

When entering a beer, please enter "Hop Showers" instead of "DDH Hop Showers" or "Hop Showers - DDH".

Pint can from Half Time and the brewery in front of that. Tulip glass ready, I pour. A cloudy orange body and a heroic head of white foam. I sniff and determine tropical up front, citrus and a touch of hops. I have a drink. Guava, some citrus, a hint of hoppy bitterness, grapefruit, pineapple and field. Pleasant enough, no breakout.

16 ounce can thanks to Matt S. Hazy orange gold pour. Dense marshmallowy white head. Fragrant aromas of citrus and stone fruit. Sweet, juicy tropical fruit flavors. Papaya, pineapple, melon, peach and passion fruit. Wonderful flavor and texture. Smooth and complex. Yum!

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: semi-thick orangey to dark yellow haziness with a finger and a half's worth of white foamy head which tapered off delicately to leave lots of messy lace
Aroma: pine to mixed citrusy with an earthy sweet hop oily toned character; subtle dried pineapple to marijuana-ish/hemp accents
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to danky dry sweet quality flanked by some piney bitterness; finishes semi-dry with a sweeter-like hemp to mixed citrusy vibe
Texture: medium bodied - maybe just a touch under; slightly sessionable; some smoothness; good low carb - mostly; low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: pretty good NEIPA worth coming back to.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: thick orangey to dark yellow-ed haziness with a finger and a half's worth of white foamy head which dissipated at a nice pace then left some messy lace
Aroma: pineapple, orange juice, lemon zest, super low musty vinous sweet accents
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to sweet to zesty to bittersweet and super low bitter qualities; finishes orange juicy and pineapple-y with a little bit of a zesty mixed citrusy sort of dryness
Texture: medium bodied; slightly sessionable; some smoothness; the dryness detected in the finish seems to also enact it's effects across the tongue in a semi-expected sort of way; low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: pretty nicely done NEDIPA worth coming back to.

Can to snifter.
Appearance: thick burnt orange haziness with a finger and a half's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet mango, sweet peach, lychee notes, some orange juice; super light whiff of passion fruit with a lemony/kiwi-ish accent
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a thin sweet quality but really takes it's time to develop the bitterness and/or any bittersweetness - ends up with a little bit of bittersweetness; finishes lychee-ish to lemony/kiwi-ish with a super light pinch of passion fruit with a sublimated dryness
Texture: medium bodied; leaning towards being a sipper; great smoothness; great low carb; low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: appropriately named beer I would absolutely bang again.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: thick burnt orange haziness with a finger and a half's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some messy lace
Aroma: orange juice, white grapes, a bit of grapefruit pith and an even wee bit lighter note of pine
Flavor: mostly the sweetness and bittersweetness of the white grapes and orange juice; subtle danky earthy sweetness; finishes on the sweeter side of the grape whites with a pinch of dankiness and some rolling dryness
Texture: medium bodied; leaning towards being a sipper; some smoothness; good low carb and medium to low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: pretty nicely done NEDIPA worthy of returning to.

Can to English pint glass.
Appearance: chalky dry looking yellowed melon rind color with a finger and a half's worth of white frothy head which slid off at a decent pace to leave a good dose of messy lace
Aroma: melon to honeydew-ish to lemon rind-ish notes with a bit of mineral water and then some bready malts
Flavor: meshed the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to bittersweet quality with a light refined juicy content; finishes leaning into some dryness and lemony to honeydew-ish tones
Texture: medium bodied - maybe a wee bit under; sessionable; good smoothness along the tongue with nothing distracting and an appropriate low carb
Overall: good NEIPA worth coming back to.
