DDH Grassman (Riwaka)
Tired Hands Brewing Company

Poured from a 16 oz can into a Dogfish Head tulip

L: Hazy golden pour. Big foamy white head leaves great lacing.

S: Citrus and tropical fruits. Honey and juice.

T.F: Semi-sweet up front. Loads of fruit. A citrus burst of orange and tangerine with grapefruit and pineapple. Honey, melon, and mango. Soft and pillowy... creamy and with minimal bitterness. ABV completely hidden.

O: They hit this one out of the park. Absolutely fantastic... elite and one to seek out.

 

 

 

16 oz can, dated 01/27/2021. About 10 days old.

Hops: Citra, Nelson Sauvin, Riwaka

I have been pretty bored with the style lately, but leave it to Tired Hands to produce something that is truly transcendent. Drinks like a 6% juicebomb. None of that heat or sweetness that usually comes with doubles above 8%. How do they do it? Soft, chewy mouthfeel. Mango sorbet, hop dessert. Just about perfect.

 

Poured from a 16 oz can dated 1/27/2021 into a Willi Becher pint glass.

L - Pours a hazy light orange color with a fluffy whit head that dissipates slowly, leaving lots of lacing.
S - Smells of citrus.
T - It has a nice citrusy creamsicle taste, with some bitterness.
F - Very creamy beer, with a medium body and carbonation.
O - This beer is ridiculously good.

16 oz can, dated 1/26/21, poured into a teku

A- A hazy golden straw with a two finger white head.

S- Citrus, pineapple, citrus zest, slightly dank, hints of honey, tropical fruits, touch of melons, a little earthy.

T- Citrus, sweet mango, pineapple, dank, earthy, grapefruit rind, touch of honey, some melons.

M- Smooth, a little creamy, medium body.

O- This DDH is definitely more dialed in than the regular version. Last few DDH I have tried from Tired Hands have been on point and this is no exception. Worth seeking out even if you aren’t a big fan of Grassman, DDH transformed this beer into something great.
