Warped Perception Double Dry Hopped Hazy IPA
4 Hands Brewing Co.

Fantastic beer. Great feel, and a better taste.

This is my favorite beer. Low carbonation, low acidity, subtle bitterness, hazy, no coconut, orange juicy, delicious taste, 6.5%, pint sized cans. Enjoyable at any temperature, incredibly refreshing cold. Smooth. Yummy.

 

16 oz can, no date, into wide mouthed glass.

Pours a very juicy and hazy golden blonde with a creamy head of 1 finger, receding to a quarter finger. Slight lacing on the sides.

Aroma is very strong, you can smell it at arms' length away. From the glass I get pineapple, mango, red grapefruit, and tangerine.

Flavor is a bit disappointing, it comes across a bit half-hearted. The flavors are decent but the potency is not there. It brings semi-sweet pineapple, in fact it's the main note, then hop spoilage, some pale malt, slight toasted malt, lemon, slight mango, and slight white grapefruit. Slight cilantro on the finish. Comes across kinda second-rate.

Flavor is juicy and acidic, lots of buzzing carbonation, mild alcohol heat, and a resinous finish.

Overall, this NE IPA falls a bit short. This isn't terrible but there are much better choices in their area, and 4 Hands actually has done better NE IPA as well. The fact that 4 Hands makes it impossible to decipher can dating or doesn't print it at all makes them a tough buy for me. In my journeys southbound I usually see a couple dozen 4 Hands choices but only walk away with 2-3 cans. Beers like this don't inspire confidence.

Price paid : $3.79 / can

Pineapple mango citrus taste dominates this beer. Midrange whiteish head, good feel overall. Hardly noticeable that it’s 6.5%, tastes lower due to the citrus. Great beer.

16oz can. Poured out a hazy, golden yellow color with a small, off-white head of foam. It smelled of pineapple, guava, grapefruit and caramel. Sweet tropical fruitiness with toasted caramel and a sharp bitterness.

 

 

Light gold in color with a hazy complexion. There’s a quarter inch of dishwater white on top. Moderate lacing. The nose is citrus and lemon. I’m tasting faint citrus and a touch of lemon. The mouth is smooth and beckons you to take additional sips.
