We try to keep busy. It helps keep us out of trouble. That’s why we put as much time as possible into doing what we do best. Brewing quality, craft beer. Idle Hands pours chestnut brown and has aromas of orange blossom and vanilla. The head is bone-white and reveals flavours of toffee malt, candied orange peel and a dash of vanilla bean.
Taste: Toffee, malt, subtle orange and vanilla bean ,

Pours a clear brown colour with a slight reddish orange tinge". It is capped by a thin beige head that sticks around for a while. The nose leads with orange and caramel. Not much else, the label states vanilla but I don't get it. The taste however is where the vanilla comes forward. There is a flavour of orange, wood, sweet malt and a earthy hoppiness in the finish. The carbonation and mouthfeel are both in the medium range. With the mouthfeel on the edge of watery. A pretty good beer.
