Voltron Volume 2-Southern Grist Collaboration
4 Hands Brewing Co.

 

 

Awful. Yet another disappointing brew from 4 Hands. I'm not sure if I've ever had one from them that I liked, and I'm not sure why I keep trying different ones.

Something about this one even makes my stomach feel upset, which is something that never happens.

 

Dark gold to copper colored with a hazy complexion. There’s a fingernail of off white around the rim and covering a third of the top. The aroma is of unripe melon and pear. I’m tasting unripe melon and cantaloupe. The mouth is resinous and crisp.

Pours a very hazed & effervescent amber with some floaties & a pinky of beige head. Minimal head retention & lacing

S: A little guava, some passion fruit & green melon, fades a bit once warm

T: Follows the nose, a little dryness & tangerine as well up front. A little pineapple & grapefruit come through as this beer warms up, along with green melon. Finishes with sweet orange, pineapple & a kiss of green melon

MF: Medium body, fairly firm carbonation, that tapers off a bit as this beer warms up, balances out alright

Much juicyness, pretty drinkable, but not thinking I would do this as a repeat buy, but fun & worth a try. If everything was as good as the flavor, a much better beer

16oz can. Poured out a cloudy, golden orange color with a small, khaki-colored head of foam. It left sudsy trails of lace on the glass. It smelled of orange, pineapple, caramel and toffee. Sweet tropical fruit taste with toasted caramel and a piney bitterness.
