CoastGuardVet updated a beer: Cascade + Galaxy brewed by Other Half Brewing

7.9/10 Appearance 7 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8
Can to tulip.
Appearance: milky/cloudy burnt orange color and some noticeable particles floating all around the body with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: wonderful blend of sweet to bitter orange creamy to grapefruity sweet to creamy hop content with a super mild clean malty semi-biscuity character
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet semi-pulpy sweet sort of quality; finishes semi-sweet with a nice bitterness and a touch of juiciness
Texture: medium bodied; slightly a sipper; good smoothness and a good low carb and hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: pretty nicely done NETIPA worth coming back to.

7.6/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 6.5 Flavor 9 Texture 7 Overall 7.5
Can to tulip.
Appearance: orange to copper haziness with a finger and a half's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: just seemed super muted initially and really had a hard time opening up but some mixed citrusy to slightly funky sweet character
Flavor: wow! What a 180! Total mango to guava to papaya sweetness and gets extremely juicy; finishes very mango/papaya/guava juicy with an ever so slight touch of dryness
Texture: medium bodied; leaning into being a sipper; very smooth and juicy along the tongue; nice low carb and low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: too bad I can't rate a beer solely on flavor as this would be a near perfect NEIPA but it's good enough to return to.

7.3/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 7 Texture 7 Overall 7
Can to tulip.
Appearance: dark murky orange to hazy copper color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: orange rind and grapefruit rind hoppy tones with some mint notes; malts barely seem noticeable
Flavor: starts somewhat bitter through those prior noted hop tones then develops a light juicy semi-sweetness; brisk finish of some citrusy rind bitterness
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; some smoothness - light stickiness; good low carb; medium to low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: I was surprised to get a NEIPA which seemed a bit more bitter than I expected and no date anywhere on the can. Hmmm...this will stand until I can find a possible fresher can or find it on draft.
