Love it. Light and dry, with peach š hints on the nose and palate. ā 7 years ago
Very interesting flavor profile. Lighter than expected for an IPA. Aroma, check. Citrus, check. No bitterness, check. Creamy, bonus! ā 7 years ago

Just the right amount of funk - it is funky. A healthy amount of hops works to balance out the funk, not too avante-garde, a bit like a good jazz track. Something I'd love to drink again. ā 9 years ago
Nutty, orange rind, and chocolate. M+ acid and M sweetness. M+ intensity. On the palate, raisin, dried fruit, cherry, caramel and orange. Long finish. ā 9 years ago
The Other Half's Oh... Double IPA is extraordinary. Perfect almost Zen like balance, rich and juicy yet not at all heavy - the 6% alcohol content is exactly right in my view. From the brewery's website: "Double dry hopped IPA w / citra, galaxy, motueka + citra lupulin powder". Not quite the ideal of water, hops, barley and yeast, but it works so very well. Here's some context: The Other Half is a brewery in Red Hook, Brooklyn that is, in my opinion, making the best beers in the New England (juicy) IPA style. This type of beer has become popular recently and rightly as done well they are both complex and approachable. Recently The Other Half took over a bar in Manhattan serving a range of their beers. The place was packed. The Other Half is so hot right now. And rightly. If you do visit the brewery, plan on doing so early in the evening if you are intending on buying cans. They sell out fast. ā 7 years ago
Tasted October 2013
Splendid Chardonnay from Donnafugata exposing deepness of impact on your senses.
This wine debuted along with the Contessa Entellina DOC in 1994. La Fuga label express movement, sunshine and the land.

Fermented in stainless steel then aged in tanks on its noble lees for 3 months, at least 3 months more in bottles.
Powerful nose full of pineapple, banana, passionfruit, mango, scented by thyme.Ā
Excellently balanced, medium bodied wine showing great tension between delicate minerality + refreshing acidity and tropical fruits and herbal accent.Ā
Works perfectly with Sicilian crustaceans Kous-Kous and chicken noodle wok. ā 9 years ago
Super fresh. Canned 24 hours ago. Massive fresh hoppy nose. Sticky, resiny hops flavor with a slight hint of the honey that cuts the bitterness perfectly. ā 9 years ago
Sour noble rot, lots of fun with a trace of thyme hiding from you in the background. ā 10 years ago
A lighter and delicious IPA. ā 7 years ago
Cocoa/hot chocolate powder mix on the nose. Creamy, milky and well-balanced chocolate on the palate. One of the best efforts Iāve tasted from Coop. ā 7 years ago
Dang!!.. Is the best way to describe while in Houston I guess. Stupid pricey at $15usd for 750ml, but almost worth it. The cherry is very much present, but is not overwhelming and totally works. 9.7% ā 9 years ago
Nice fresh hoppy / pine scented nose. Massively tropical fruited palate of pineapple and coconut. All tied together with a nice but not overdone malty backbone. Probably the best, most complex beer Coop has produced. ā 9 years ago
Really unusual. Intense coffee nose and nutty frapaccino with cinnamon on the palate. A nice light dessert beer that Jarad would probably rate a 10. ā 10 years ago
