Imperial IPA 8 º

Other Half Brewing Co.

Bird Cage is a luscious Hazy Double IPA that showcases an expertly layered hop profile. Intense aromas of sweet orange and tropical citrus juice stem from the Citra hops, while Nelson Sauvin introduces a sophisticated note of crushed gooseberry and white grape. The addition of Sabro Cryo infuses the sensory experience with a distinct lychee-coconut nectar quality, lending a creamy, exotic depth. This Hazy Imperial IPA pours a glowing, opaque gold with a soft, pillowy mouthfeel that carries its 8% ABV with seamless integration. The finish is remarkably smooth, balancing vibrant tropical fruit esters with a restrained, clean bitterness that highlights the complex, juicy hop character.

Appearance. SRM 6 (pale gold), with a distinct opaque haze and a moderate-sized, persistent, creamy off-white head that leaves dense lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent lychee, coconut, and sweet orange. Background notes of white grape and tropical citrus juice are supported by a neutral, grainy malt character and light stone fruit esters.

Taste. Strong tropical fruit punch flavors with a complex blend of orange, lime, and coconut nectar. The hop character is dominant but smooth, with a vinous, white-grape edge. Low supportive malt provides a cracker-like base. Bitterness is moderate and well-integrated, leading to a medium-dry finish with a lingering tropical juice aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a creamy, soft texture. Moderate carbonation and a restrained, smooth alcohol warmth. No hop-derived astringency.
