Difficult Crystalline Motif
Tired Hands Brewing Company

 

 

 

 

 

Cloudy yellow/gold color. Very thin and opaque/watery on the outside edges when light shines through it. Most head vanished fairly quickly. Moderate lacing.

Light citrus and pine in the nose. Wheaty.

Same as the nose. Faint tropical fruit and pine. Lots a wheat and a bready malt. More bitter than I was expecting, but fully under control.

Medium bodied. Low-ish carbonation. Slightly bitter finish that completely vanishes.

Feels like a dull second runnings beer that they tried to make interesting with heavy hop additions. Extremely drinkable for a day like today (Labor Day is the laziest day of the year for me), just not interesting or fun. Even Tired Hands' bad beer are usually one of those two.

8 oz. pour on tap at the Fermentaria.

Juicy yellow with an inch of head.

Orange, grapefruit, and mango on the nose.

Easy drinking, light, supremely sessionable. Tropical fruit and pine. The finish is quick and does not linger.

Hard to follow up a glass of Infinite Energy, but solid. Just a bit less interesting than others Tired Hands has to offer.

 

 

 

The beer comes in a light gold, glow yellow, haze for days.

The beer offers juicy orange, and even that wonderful banana runts, estery, bubble gum note. There's a crackery malt and light sweetness, but the beer stays drinkable and hoppy at its lighter ABV.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Draft pour at Tired Hands. Hazy, yellow pour with a nice foam head. Tropical notes on the palate and nose, with nice bitterness on the finish. Lower 4% abv makes a nice brew to have with lunch. TH continues to excel.
