Double Nectaron Daydream

Double Nectaron Daydream by Other Half Brewing is an 8.5% ABV Imperial Oat Cream IPA designed to showcase the full potential of the Nectaron hop. Part of the acclaimed "Daydream" series, it utilizes a heavy dose of oats and lactose to create a signature "pillowy" and velvety mouthfeel. The nose is greeted with an explosion of overripe nectarine, juicy peach, and tangy pineapple, balanced by subtle notes of vanilla cream. On the palate, it delivers a dense, smoothie-like experience with luscious stone fruit flavors and a touch of lactose sweetness. Despite its high alcohol content, the finish remains remarkably smooth and soft, leaving a long-lasting tropical impression that defines the pinnacle of the modern Hazy DIPA.

Considering the rich peach, passion fruit, and creamy notes of Double Nectaron Daydream IPA, here are two distinct food pairings: 1. Brooklyn-Style Cheesecake: A classic dessert from Brooklyn, New York, cheesecake enhances the beer's creamy texture and peach and vanilla notes. The cheesecake's sweetness and tanginess pair harmoniously with the beer's fruitiness, delivering a rich and fulfilling flavor experience. 2. Peach Tart or Mascarpone Dessert: The beer's dense peach and cream notes act as a "liquid sauce" that amplifies the fruit flavors, while the richness of the mascarpone cheese pairs seamlessly with the beer's velvety body.
