Tried day of - subtle hint of coconut, citrus hoppy forward. Pretty good.

Palate Contaminants: none

Appearance is both pale and murky. Not much head or lacing.

Smell has a little bit of pine sap, but it's all about the citrus. It's a melange of pineapple, sweet white grapefruit, and sour tangerine (if that makes sense). Somehow it's both sharp and mellow at the same time.

Taste is far more tangy. The grapefruit is punchier, and there's some starchy fruit in the background that's not quite banana. It also comes across as more sour than bitter, which isn't the way these things normally are. Lots of freshly cut grass. Overall, the flavors clash if you think about it, but just sitting back and enjoying it, it's good. But it's not the usual knockout punch from Tired Hands.

A little bit of prickly carbonation with a swish. Medium weight. The grass hangs around in the aftertaste, and I expect to sneeze any moment now...

 

 

 

 

Tastes like a pina colada. Way too much coconut. Horrible after taste. The only tired hands brew I don’t like.

Can to glass. Pale orange cloudy color with decent head, dissipates quickly. Mango, pineapple citrus nose. Same flavors in taste, with orange and tangerine, drier finish than expected. Full chewy mouthfeel, very drinkable.
