Tired Hands Brewing Company

 

The beer pours a delicate white head that dissipates at a moderate pace. The beer itself is a clear and pale gold that looks very nice.

The smell is pretty good. It has a moderate funk smell and has a light musky hay note along with an earthy and bitter hop note. The forward notes are then followed by a a sharp oak with a light vanilla note running through it.

The taste is good. It starts off with a decent musty funk with a wooden French oak note and hint of vanilla mixed in with it. The forward notes are then joined by the bitter and earthy hop note alongside a sugary lime and kiwi notes. The finish has the lime and kiwi lingering in the taste afterwards.

The feel is good and rather wine-like. It has a medium light body with a smooth and slick texture to it and slightly acidic finish to it.

Overall, this was a delicious beer worth getting and having on a spring day.
