I tried this on tap at Warwick Hotel in Hummelstown, served chilled in a glass.

The color is a murky golden with amber shade and white head with fine bead. The smell is a mix of hop scents with herbal and mildy yeast oriented smell with faintly earthy quality and a slight malt aroma. The feel is good with malt balanced by the moderately full body with light yeast and moderate bitterness from the hops and resinous quality with slightly dry finish with a mild astringent element.

The taste is good with semi-tangy citrus and light vegetal/herbal hop flavor with citrus dominant and supplementary herbal flavor with lightyeast quality mid palate adding to the slight astringent grass accent in the hop with a sort of lemony lingering taste as it finishes dry. Overall this is a nice hop forward beer, nothing to really distinguish as lager-like, mostly hops flavor-wise with a nice dry finish but not exessively bitter from hopping either.

 

 

32 oz growler poured into a pint glass

A- A slightly hazy amber color with a large white head.

S- Hoppy, some pine, hints of tropical fruits, some wet grass, some citrus, a nicely bready malt backbone that is slightly sweet.

T- Hoppy but not over the top, faint citrus and tropical fruits, fairly dank finish balanced with a surprisingly big bready malt backbone for 4.2%.

M- Smooth, light to medium body.

O- A tasty lager, very easy to drink. Liking that Tired Hands is starting to make a few more lagers.

 

 

A hazy IPL but delicious.
