On tap at TH.
Blooobz.
Got off to a good start with a hazy magenta pour, topped with a creamy pink-white cap of head; good retention and lacing. Good aroma of citrusy hops, stinky dankness, leaves, secondary notes of blueberry skins. The taste reflected the aroma, natural blueberry juice was quite present I thought, but took a backseat to the strong hop profile and biscuity malt body. If you go in expecting a full-blown blasting blueberry beer, you'll be disappointed, but if you want a nicely balanced IPA with a delicate berry element, then there's really no problem here. I probably would have preferred a more in-your-face fruit flavor, more like Mago or SuchPassion--which it was unavoidably compared to--but I still enjoyed this one. Light-medium body, crisp and easily drinkable.

I uploaded the pic, and it's from July 2014. Then, the beer was super berry flavored, dank citrus and one of my favorite beers EVER.
I had it recently and the beer is not like it once was. The pour was light yellow, way less creamy, and while it was an above average IPA, it was not what it once was. Really hope Jean get's this one back to its roots.

On draft at the Brewcafe on August 2. The blueberry flavor is subtle on this one, as opposed to Such Passion and Fuzzy Yellow, where the fruit additions really come through. Still an excellent Tired Hands IPA.

Growler shared by Chris. Thanks man.
Stoplight yellow body with a quarter inch of white head. Fresh, dank hop aroma. Tropical fruits abound. Blueberry character is mild. This is an IPA first and foremost. Blueberry character emerges late palate, offering a mild sweetness. Interesting, tasty, fun.
