Pours a thick and cloudy orange with bright white head, leaving decent lacing. Nose is big time tropical fruit, peaches, and berries. Taste follows with a nice hop bite and some dank pine to balance it out. Feel is fairly thick and chewy. Another outstanding DIPA from TH.

A - Opaque dark golden orange with a massive amount of creamy, sticky, lacing.
S - BIG juicy, fruity aroma with passion fruit, tropical fruit, peach, citrus, and berry.
T - Peach, tropical fruit, citrus, spicy citrus rind, passion fruit, a very small amount of berry, and ends with an assertive resiny pine and floral bitterness to keep the flavorful fruitiness in check.
M - Big pillowy soft and chewy mouthfeel with some warming in the back of the throat.
O - Pretty outstanding and worth a look.

Pours a turbid pineapple color with a pearl white head that is sudsy and dissipates quickly with minimal lacing. The nose is packed with dank, biting tropical citrus aromas. Just a sledgehammer of citrus.
The taste is that citrus sledgehammer, with oranges, grapefruit rind, pineapple, passion fruit, and some berry flavors leading to a subtle, sweet oat flavor on the finish.
The mouthfeel is substantial enough to hold up to this substantial beer. Yet another example of the prowess of Tired Hands.

Slight light khaki colored head... Limited retention... Color is a s an opaque pale yellow.... Lively mix of hops on the nose that alternates between citrusy and earthy... The palate adds some piney notes and a thick oat base with the sweet citrus dialed back... Mouthfeel is thick and chewy with some light carbonation... Interesting and outstanding beer that pushes some limits...
