Hazy orange whiteish color with a thick head leaving laces.
Aroma with predominant notes of peaches, white grapes and orange marmalade.
Flavor with notes of resin, white grapes, orange marmalade, onion powder and oats. Very dry and bitter aftertaste.
Full body with appropriate carbonation. Alcohol of 8.3% is well hidden.
Juicy Double IPA with lots of resiny notes and hints of white grapes and orange marmalade.

Picked up a four pack of cans at Total Wine in Braintree for about twenty two dollars. My third brew from these guys, never seen in MA before. Decent, very pungent.

Canned 10/27/23. Let sit out for ten minutes before opening.
Hazy medium yellow, with one finger of ivory head. Looks like fresh-squeezed yellow grapefruit juice.
Smell is grapefruit, kiwi,white grape, and guava, with hints of pineapple, peach, (also peach pit from open can), melon, and papaya.
Taste is grapefruit, but a bit sweeter than in the aroma, and a mix of fruit as in the smell, but more blended. The individual elements briefly flash , but the overall sensation is that of grapefruit+papaw+papaya , and a hint of slightly green, just-ripening banana. Light-medium, lingering bitterness . Some unripe peach/peach pit in the aftertaste.
Feel is initially lightly-creamy and juicy, with moderate,very,very fine , semi-sharp carbonation bite towards finish. Lingering dryness after finish.
Overall, a really nice one. Only mildly sweet on the front end, plus some decent bitterness on the back end, to balance it well.
This was my second one, and let it warm up(10 min , +/-) a bit longer than the first (3-4 min?). Fyi, definitely the way to go. This is better warmer (45-50F?) than colder (40F?) .

Pours a very hazed gold with 2 fingers of fluffy ivory colored head. Fantastic head retention & lacing
S: Some citrus, tropical fruit & green melon, all pick up as this beer warms up
T: Dryness, Pomelo, a whisper of grapefruit, grassyness, a touch of tangerine & lime up front. Grassyness, lime & white grape skin as this beer warms up, some pomelo notes & grapefruit. Finishes a little dry with green melon, pomelo & kiss of sweet orange & a kiss of pineapple
MF: Medium body, fairly subtle carbonation, good balance. Carbonation picks up as this warms up
Pretty drinkable, but the meld of flavors didn't really wow me. Got a little better as it warmed up

It's a DIPA and it taste like one. Too bitter and danky for me but if you like the power of a DIPA, this one represents. Nothing off cours that i could detect, a standsrd DIPA hazy that doesn't hide the booziness.

I say Yes. A very good smooth drink with multiple explosions of flavors but definitely not overpowering. I love this one The only question is where can I buy it?

Canned
L -- Murky straw body with a finger of solid white head produced with moderate pour. Some retention and good lacing
S -- White grape, kiwi, lemon zest, orange pith, and some dank earthiness. Creamy malt backbone
T -- Veers a little more earthy, dank, and catty here, with some residual pithy citrus character and a hint of lemongrass
F -- Soft and easy drinking for the ABV. Some residual bitterness
O -- Another solid but not incredible offering from Tired Hands. Either way super cool to see them hit limited distribution for the first time here in MA

Pours hazy yellow with a thick foamy head. Aroma is spring grassy floral with a hint of citrus. Taste is reasonably hop assertive with nice bitterness and a piney citrus note. Feels is great, smooth, thick and still reasonably clean finish. Overall this is aggressive enough to be memorable without being obnoxious. A tasty one.
