Traded for this a while ago, having no idea that this wasn't brewed in Pennsylvania like the other beers that I've had from Tired Hands. The label says that this was brewed and canned by Anchorage Brewing Company even though the label looks like the regular Tired Hands. Confusion aside, this was a decent beer that had enough going for it without being noteworthy in any particular way...

This had an alright pour to it as the beer was golden, somewhat hazy, and a bit thin. Enough head topped this off but the lacing left behind was only in the form of a few scattered clumps along the back half of my pint glass. Interesting aroma of blueberries, honeydew, melon, piss, and grass as the taste contained all of those as well. Odd slickness and dankness to the taste as all of the hops seemed to be attempting to stand out over the others. Deep berry juice and heavy, pine forest emerged out from these as this was such a contradiction in the end - a heavy beer that went down smoothly and easily, leaving behind notes of tobacco and weed...

This had enough booze to it but with so much else going on, you won't have time to notice anything of the sort that could be felt. Canned on 1/18/18 with PIE LIES written above it, this was an interesting beer with quite a weighted and dark aftertaste. Appropriately named, this was worth a go once but wouldn't be my first choice for something full of hops and fruit flavors!

 

16oz can thanks to Steve. Hazy, pale golden body with small wispy head. Big citrusy aroma, juicy. Taste brings more juice, citrus first, then tropical fruitiness. Citric hops finish it..

L: pours thick and cloudy orange with a half finger of head
S: huge orange juice, nice sweetness. Great aroma
T: starts with huge orange, then leads to grape fruit with some dank and bitterness.
F: thick and creamy, finishes a bit dry and bitter.
