Tasting Notes
The aroma hits hard with raw citra hops — fresh-squeezed grapefruit, lime zest, and a distinct passion fruit note that borders on tropical juice. On the palate, the double dry-hop process amplifies that citrus-forward character while keeping bitterness relatively restrained for the style, leaning more into soft, resinous fruit than sharp bite. The body is full and slightly hazy, with a creamy texture that carries the hop oils well. The finish lingers with citrus pith and a faint dank undertone before fading clean.
About the Brewery
Other Half Brewing Co. is based in Brooklyn, New York, founded in 2014, and has become one of the more influential names in the hazy and heavily hopped IPA space on the East Coast. They built their reputation on aggressively dry-hopped IPAs and DIPAs, often releasing limited cans that generate genuine demand among hop-focused beer drinkers. They've since expanded with locations in other cities and a notable collaborations program.
Food Pairings
Spicy Thai noodles work well here because the beer's fruit-forward hop profile counters heat without fighting the aromatics. A fatty, char-grilled burger plays off the resinous bitterness and gives the carbonation something to cut through. Aged cheddar or a sharp gouda pairs naturally — the fat in the cheese softens the bitterness while the funk in the cheese echoes the dank, resinous hop character. Mango salsa or a citrus-dressed ceviche mirrors the tropical fruit notes and keeps the pairing in the same flavor lane.
Style Guide
Double IPAs — sometimes called Imperial IPAs — are an amplified take on the American IPA, pushing both hop intensity and alcohol into more aggressive territory, typically ranging from roughly 7.5% to 10% ABV. The style originated in the late 1990s on the American West Coast, with Blind Pig Brewery and Russian River's Pliny the Elder becoming early benchmarks. Compared to a standard IPA, DIPAs carry more body, more residual sweetness to balance the elevated bitterness, and a significantly higher hop load whether that expresses as citrus, pine, dank resin, or tropical fruit depending on the hop bill.
