Double Hemingway Daiquiri
Tired Hands Brewing Company

 

 

 

 

 

L - once again, not even going to attempt to decipher the can art. Pours a decidedly murky crimson haze. Reddish hue. Looks an awful lot like grapefruit juice. Probably a double Hemingway daiquiri, if I even knew what that was. Creamy lacing.

S - oats and wheaty coriander. Fruit punch, grape, and juicy juice.

T - mixed berries and a tingly pink grapefruit zestiness. More oats, and a generally soft and tame juiciness. Lime toward the end and a dryness that is distinctly... salty. Sadly I feel I am influenced by the description here, but it is an unmistakeable sensation.

F - creamy and full. Soft and gentle.

O - interesting beer for sure. The up front flavor is nostalgic and tasty, but the back half is weirdly bitter and herbal. The salty lime kinda throws a wrench in things, but I guess that's the point, huh? It's well-executed... for what it is.

 

 

Opaque salmon-pink with a fuzzy off-white head fading to a central lump leaving some spongy lace on the glass.

Smell is tropical, hoppy and fruity all at once, with hints of strawberry-banana, pineapple, and semi-dank sticky peach--but the actual ingredients added to this are lost to me.

Sharp of aspirin-esque bitterness with a thin body, an odd hoppy juiciness is accented by black pepper and an acidic red grapefruit. None of the other insanely awesome sounding additions come through until, as it warms, the oaty exhale makes room for a bit of the cherry. A minimally detectable carbonation leads into a semi-dry to chalk dry finish.
