New Brew Thursday: 'DDH Green City' from Other Half

There are moments in history when time stops and you remember exactly where you were and what you were doing. Japan surrendering World War II, man landing on the moon, and when it was announced that Other Half would start distributing beer in Rhode Island. Jokes aside, I was scrolling through my Facebook feed and saw that several local liquor stores would start stocking this titan of craft beer and I was ecstatic. I was lucky enough to trade for some Other Half last year and it lived up to the ridiculously high expectations that I had. Now that I have a steady supply of Other Half I am filled with joy as tonight’s entry ‘DDH Green City’ has been on the wish list for a LONG time.

‘DDH Green City’ pours into the glass a hazy light yellow with a small white head. It has subtle sweet notes of orange with a small hint of pine that perfectly showcases its hop profile. This IPA with Centennial, Citra, and Simcoe hops is incredibly well balanced both on the nose and on the tongue. The flavor is fantastic. The sweetness of the Simcoe gives way to the piney bitterness of the Centennial with the Citra bridging the gap in between. Clocking in at 7% ABV it is very crushable up front but just boozy enough on the back end to remind you to slow down a bit. However, with that initial sweetness from the Simcoe, you won’t want to. This is a highly recommended beer from one of the best breweries in the country. Definitely pick some up if you are able to.
