Green Down To The Socks

Green Down To The Socks, produced by Other Half Brewing, is a Double Dry Hopped Imperial IPA with an 8.2% ABV. Part of the "OH Classics" series, it features a hand-selected blend of hops—including Mosaic, Motueka, and Riwaka—that greets the nose with vibrant notes of wild blueberry and ripe mango, layered with soft citrus and pine. On the palate, it delivers a signature "plush" and creamy mouthfeel, drenched in juicy flavors of guava and dank papaya. Zesty accents of pink grapefruit and lemon-lime provide a refreshing brightness that balances the beer's substantial body. The finish is remarkably smooth and clean, leaving a lingering trail of grassy resin and sweet tropical fruit that invites another sip.

## Green Down to the Socks IPA Pairing Guide 1. Terroir Pairing (USA): Pan-Seared Flounder with Brown Butter. The delicate flavor of flounder and the nutty notes of brown butter complement the beer's soft tropical fruit aromas. Specifically, the mango and guava flavors of the IPA pair harmoniously with the subtle sweetness of the flounder, while the brown butter's richness balances the beer's velvety texture. 2. Creative Pairing: Coconut Rice Pudding. The creamy texture of coconut and the subtle sweetness of rice create a fantastic combination with the beer's juicy flavors. The IPA's tropical fruit punch and mango flavors enrich the pudding's mild sweetness, and the hops' bitterness cuts through any excessive sweetness in the dessert.
