Received a 16 oz can on 12-19-25 from @jzeilinger. Canned 11-5-25; consumed 1-4-26. Cold stored since received. Thanks Jeff!

Beer poured hazy golden orange with a very nice white head.

Nose has pungent notes of citrus and floral hops.

Taste is a moderate pale malt base that works well with the hopping and gives me white wine, passion fruit, grapefruit, and orange. Finishes balanced with a slight touch of zest; 5/10 on my bitterness scale.

Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied and very soft and smooth.

Overall, this is another lovely IPA from the Tired Hands team!

Canned on: 11-5-25

A - Opaque light medium golden tan color with thin, but dense frothy foam that sticks like cotton candy on the glass.

S - Pineapple, tropical fruit, citrus, and peach hits the nose.

T - Tropical fruit, citrus, some light spiciness, passionfruit, peach, and delicate floral while ending with a light spicy bitterness.

M - Medium body, pillowy soft, chewy, and a slight bit of heat.

O - Solid. Not a favorite from TH by any means but decently solid.

 

 

 

 

This beer has mostly everything but the taste. Good aroma , nice color, lots of haze and sediment ( which I like). Lacks a bit on the taste though.

 

 

The first half of the can pours a luminescent fiery-yellow with two fingers of white head. As the can is emptied, the beer clouds up more and more, finally reaching a murky, opaque deep yellow-orange. Good head retention and lacing left behind. Letting the beer sit for a moment and looking closely, the particulate is suspended in the beer like Dr. John Hammond's amber staff in Jurassic Park. Letting this beer sit for too long in the glass, and the bottom is a pile of beer sludge, which may be off putting to some. Aroma is packed full of delicate, hoppy notes that center around tropical fruits. Grapefruit, lemon zest, mango, and papaya specifically. Flavor profile is a little tart, sweet grapefruit right up front. Mango, papaya shift the flavor profile more around tropical fruits. Lemon zest with a whiff of biscuit malts close out the flavor profile. The aroma and flavor profile become considerably more dense and reinforced with hop notes when the final ounces of the beer are poured into the glass. Very smooth and easy to drink. Mouth feel is medium in thickness with a smooth, slightly crisp feel. Overall, a flavorful IPA that works its way towards the NE IPA style, and yet doesn't taste like juice or drink like flat juice. Meaning it drinks more like a proper IPA, making it a shear delight to drink.

Served in a 12oz snifter.
