The Mighty Pines
4 Hands Brewing Co.

Lovely nice looking gold color with an attractive and fluffy head; not crystal clear, but that didn’t bother me in the slightest. I enjoyed the hoppy and piney notes that predominate but don’t punch the drinker in the face, and this was smooth and tasty throughout. Certainly not heavy or overpowering and with no lingering bitterness, just an enjoyable drink all the way through. It’s brewed less than 20 miles to my west, and I love to support local breweries…

I picked up a 4-pack from the tasting room in Chesterfield. From a sixteen ounce can, the beer is a clear golden color with a bright white head. Nice lacing. The aroma is appropriately hoppy...pine and tropical fruit...grapefruit with a bit of lightly toasted grain in the background. Solid balanced flavor with a nice bitter backbone. Dry finish with a medium-full body. I like it.

 

 

16oz can. Poured out a clear, golden orange color with a small, off-white head of foam. It left sudsy trails of lace on the glass. It smelled of toasted caramel, citrus, piney notes. Nice toasted caramel taste with resin/pine and a tropical fruit kick.

Copper colored with excellent clarity. Light, soapy lacing. There’s an inch of densely packed frothy tan head. It faded to a fingernail in about 5 minutes. The aroma is of lemon and lime hops. I’m tasting lemon and lime hops along with lightly crackery malt. The mouth is faintly sticky and chewy.
