Other Half I'd Rather Be Juicing

I'D RATHER BE JUICING by Other Half is a New England IPA that truly embraces the bold and lush characteristics of its style. Hailing from New York, this IPA boasts a 7.0% ABV, making it a robust yet highly approachable choice for those who appreciate a more nuanced hop profile. The cornerstone of its vibrant personality is the generous use of Citra hops, which imparts a strikingly juicy and tropical character. Expect an enveloping aroma of citrus fruits, mingling with subtle notes of melon and passionfruit, all enveloped in the signature haze that NEIPAs are renowned for. While its hop-forward nature is undeniable, I'D RATHER BE JUICING maintains a smooth and balanced finish, allowing the vivid tropical flavors to shine without overwhelming the palate. This makes it an ideal companion for a variety of culinary adventures. Try pairing it with lightly spiced dishes such as Thai green curry or jerk chicken, where the beer's fruity undertones can complement the spices. Its refreshing qualities also make it a delightful match for a classic cheese platter, particularly those featuring creamy goat cheese or sharp cheddar. For optimal enjoyment, serve this New England IPA at a temperature slightly cooler than room temperature, around 45–50°F (7–10°C). This allows the intricate flavors to open up, revealing their full complexity. Pour it into a tulip glass, which not only enhances the aromatic experience but also showcases its appealing haziness and frothy head. Whether you're a seasoned IPA enthusiast or exploring new styles, I'D RATHER BE JUICING offers a distinctive and satisfying taste experience grounded in the innovative spirit of Other Half Brewing.
