Liquid Wet Hop
4 Hands Brewing Co.

From an aluminum can, this beer pours a very hazy dark golden color. The head it tall, firm, and rocky off-white. Bready malt and a bit of spice in the aroma. The taste has some grapefruit and sweetness in it. Nicely bitter, and quite drinkable. Full body and enjoyable.

Tried it on tap today 12/3/21. A slightly hazy amber IPA, with a good malty nose, and tastes like it smells, which is quite good.

At 7.5 ABV it's not quite a double IPA in my book, but it has enough malt backbone to make you think it's a DIPA. Which is good, IMHO, because you can drink more of it without getting tipsy.

An FYI for those of you who like me don't like Grapefruit tasting brews, this one doesn't have that God-awful taste that is so popular with millennials. Sorry, but some of us are actually allergic to grapefruit and Citra, Amarillo and other hops can trigger a physical reaction.

Drink it if you can find it. It's a very solid 4, as in 4 Hands Brewing.

 

12 oz can, no legible date, into wide mouthed glass.

Pours a very west-coast apple juice color with a loose half finger of head that disperses to bubbles shortly after. It does leave a slight broken sheet of lacing.

Aroma of caramel malt, grass, bread, and papaya. Slight musty dankness. Hard to get a good nose.

Flavor brings caramel malt, spruce, pine...then the back palate - orange cream, peach, and then finishes with a really nice note of cantaloupe. Lingering notes of peach milkshake. What a polarized beer.

Feel is clean and smooth, lightly crisp, no heat, mild resins, kind of clears out at the finish.

Overall, a decent beer. I'd be willing to try another one fresh if they were to start dating their cans so we could read it. Until then, I'll probably avoid most 4 Hands IPAs.

Price paid : $1.99 / can
Would buy again : maybe

 

 

My good friend and old neighbor from Oswego gave me a can of this beer. It poured a hazy orangish with white head that is leaving some lace. The scent had dank pine hop notes. The taste was slightly bitter leaning but was easy to drink. There was a malt base with pine hop highlights. The mouthfeel was medium in body with good carbonation. Overall its a decent beer.

 

Pours a translucent copper with a tinge of fog. Head is two fingers in height and khaki in color. Aroma is pine, dank, resin and citrus hops with light yeast and doughy, earthy malts. Flavor profile is pine, dank, resin and citrus hops. Doughy, earthy malts add a tinge of bitterness that balances out well, although it comes out raw. Mouth feel is medium in thickness with a little fuzzy, fizziness right on the tongue. Overall, big hop notes with earthy, raw malt notes combine to form a well-balanced IPA.

Served in a 12oz snifter from a 12oz can.

 

 

 

Had on tap. A juicy classic ipa. Pine, grapefruit, orange, pineapple, and flowers fill the nose, but none too powerfully. Taste is all of those flavors plus an appreciated level of dankness to go with a malt backbone. Overall just a solid classically styled ipa

12oz can. Poured out a clear, golden color with a good-sized bubbly head of foam. It smelled of pine, grapefruit and citrus. Slightly floral, too. Nice citrusy bite with sweet caramel and a bitter finish.

 

 

 

Copper colored with an inch of creamy and densely packed tan head. The aroma is of Juicy Fruit gum with notes of banana, pineapple, and green apple. I'm tasting pineapple, melon, and a touch of pine. The mouth is lightly sticky, dry, and offers up a slow but gently persistent hop burn.
