Forever Simcoe Double Dry Hopped Imperial India Pale Ale
The Forever Simcoe from Other half is a terrific DDHIIPA... the definitions get longer and longer. Drier than most beers from this brewery with good purity of hops. Floral and focused, rather than wildly juicy. Really good. 8.5% ABV. — 5 years ago

Double Mosaic Daydream Imperial Cream India Pale Ale
I agree with @Jeff Shapiro, very impressed with this IPA which jumped from my glass with urgency and bright citrus notes. 8.5 abv took me hostage for a while… — 2 years ago

All Green Everything Triple India Pale Ale
All Green Everything from Other Half is a terrific hazy IPA. It was streets ahead of others when it first came out. Now it probably lacks a bit of the finesse of some of its peers but still has tons of depth a nuance. A reference point and always a pleasure. — 5 years ago

Zotovich Vineyard Syrah
I was hoping to experience the same style of Syrah from this label that I enjoyed a decade ago, full of flowers and blueberry notes. Instead, this bottle was a peppery and brambly version. Still tasty but not as terrific as I remembered. It did open up nicely after half an hour of decanting, and a sniff of the decanter provided a faint bacon aroma as sometimes happens with Rhone reds. This wine (2018 vintage) was a good match with my braised beef cheeks at the Black Sheep restaurant in Santa Barbara. — 3 years ago

Enhance Your Mind Imperial India Pale Ale
Enhance Your Mind by Other Half Brewing Co. is a triple IPA with an array of hops: Mosaic, Citra, Simcoe, Motueka, Citra Cryo and Simcoe Cryo. Tastes very balanced for a 10% beer. Citrus, grapefruit, a little pine. Very smooth texture. Elegant finish. Other Half really excels at this style. — 5 years ago

This ain’t half bad. Maybe I just like to lavish out reasonable marks, but it’s a crowd-pleaser. Lemon rind, roasted almonds and roasted nuts on the nose lead to a weighty, sweet mid palate. Lacking acidity along with a relatively short, exotic finish, I’m willing to overlook its fault lines, cos overall it’s good. — 2 years ago
