HopHands
Tired Hands Brewing Company

Not feeling it with this brew, extremely cloudy and a mess to say the least. Staff at the pub should not be pouring it. Milkshake beers are not a trend or acceptable with traditional or even modern styles... No excuses. Carbonation seemed off, a muddled mess.

 

 

Moderate haze. Fresh resiny hop aroma. Vivid citrus rind flavor with a nice hop bite at the end. Soft but mouthcoating body. This beer pushes resin burn to its most tolerable height at this gravity (5.5%). An early demonstration of how much haze-brewing can amp up flavor.

This beer pours golden and turbid. It is topped with half a glass of off-white head that leaves spotty lacing.

Dank and citrus aromas.

Dank and earthy flavors. I get hints of melon. Some bitterness on the backend.

Medium bodied with a creamy mouthfeel

Solid pale ale

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pours a yada cloudy IPA, aroma is very earthy hoppy, a bit of melon, taste is very dry, hoppy bitter a little aftertaste, different, good.

David kindly provided me with this beer, for which I am grateful. I'm serving it in a Belcher glass at a cool 42 degrees. The pour resulted in a frothy, airy one-finger, white head with exceptional retention. The slow dissipation left some lacing on the glass. The beer's color, pale amber with straw yellow hues and a cloudy texture is a sight to behold. This appearance is not just above average; it's unique and captivating for a pale ale.
Nosing the glass, I smell peaches, floral blossoms, grapefruit, orange, and a light pineapple for the hop profile. The hop's aromas are bright and fragrant. The malt profile is cracker, doughy biscuit, light caramel, and a malty sweetness. Smelling the glass, I noticed earthiness, yeasty phenol, and a light grassy note.
The hop profile is incredible; it's a masterpiece of balance and flavor. The hop flavors I taste are a harmonious blend of orange, light pineapple, floral blossoms, grapefruit, apricots, pine, herbal, and grassy. The malt complex, with its crackers, doughy malt, lightly toasted bread, and malty sweetness, complements the hops perfectly. Other flavors I taste, such as earthiness and a light phenolic note, add depth and complexity to the beer.
The mouthfeel is soft and astringent, finishing slightly tannic. The body is medium and has medium carbonation.
This beer is lovely. It has an extensive bright hop profile and a sturdy malt backbone. I thoroughly enjoyed sipping HopHands.

 

Poured from a pint can, the body is an opaque muted yellow. Big fluffy white head and excellent lacing.

Aroma is dank and hoppy. The Centennial reveals itself nicely.

Taste follows nose with earthy hoppiness front and center. Lightly dank and bitter, the malt keeps this pale ale balanced. Notes of pine and lemon.

Mouthfeel is light though creamy. Things dry up quickly.

An odd duck of a pale ale, but I like it.

Pale yellow orange hazy appearance, one-two finger creamy off-white head, good retention, wet lacing. Grapefruit, melon, pine, faint dandelion. Lively carbonation, thick mouthfeel.
