Other Half Brewing Double Dry Hopped Dream In Green American IPA at 6.2% ABV (Trade – thanks, Norm!, 945 ml, packaged on 22-Mar-2018, acquired 12-Jul-2018, reviewed 12-Jul-2018)
Appearance: opaque deep gold with one finger of loose white head diminishing rapidly to a thin skim and ring, moderate well-defined soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: floral, tropical fruit, orange, pine, cream, oats. (9/10) Taste: moderate sweet, mild bitter. (9/10) Palate: medium body, moderate-low carbonation, off-dry mild bitter finish. (4/5)
Quite similar to the Forever Ever – hell, visually identical – but not quite simply a full-strength version of it. For one thing, the aroma is more floral, and the creamy lactic is somewhat less pronounced. Still a juicy milkshake, and maybe just a hair nicer overall, but only barely. I just checked, and this is hopped with Citra, Motueka, and Wai-Iti – so, pretty much my all-time favourite, plus two ANZ hops, which are perennial favourites of mine. No wonder I like this balance so much! (17/20)
