Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into my Delirium snifter, Hang Ten is a muddy garnet with nice steady streamers and a tight 2 finger, light tan head that is pretty long lasting.

The aroma is an amped up version of class hefe esters, with a little sourness and a bit of roastiness. Letting it warm up really brings out a wonderful sweet richness that I'm really loving.

Taste is very much in line with the smell, lots of yeast in front of a hefty grain bill thats very rich, semi-sweet with wheaty tang and just a hint of roast. Lots of fusels, particularly on the finish as the yeast flavor gives way. As it warms, however, it really melds together nicely it gets much smoother and more enjoyable, so much so I had to come back and bump up my score...be patient with this one and it will reward you!

Mouthfeel is creamy, with a moderate body, or at least not a sludgy as you might assume.

This was moderately drinkable, good for the style I suppose, but it's a real flavor bomb, and that can wear thin, while the high ABV is certainly no joke. Still, I'm really glad I took my time with this one, it really open up. Major thanks to JohnMichaelson for bringing this out for me, I really enjoyed it.

Aged 2.5 years.

12 oz Poured into snifter

Ripe fruits and sweet malts. No alcohol whatsoever. Slight sparkling apple cider but mostly sweet bready malts and fruit.

SOoo easy to drink. Probably my favorite clipper city/ Heavy seas beer. Too bad they retired it. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?

Gonna stock up on bombers before I never get to taste this beer again.

-Just tried a 2011 bottle I had been aging and it was fantastic. So sad that it was my last bottle. I believe it aged incredibly well.
