Unfinished Lives
Best of Hands Barrelhouse

Poured into a Seattle Beer Week pint glass. Pours a hazy, light to medium golden amber with a two finger white head with great retention and solid lacing. Aroma of pale malt, citrus and tropical fruit hops, lemon, grapefruit and mixed tropical fruit. Flavor is pale and lager malt, citrus hops, lemon, orange, grapefruit, rye tartness. Grapefruit rind and rye finish; moderate bitterness. Medium bodied with light to moderate creaminess. A citrus and rind forward IPA with an emphasis on grapefruit. There is some rye flavor and light tartness that seems to meld with the grapefruit rind. Solid lager-like malt for base support. The hop flavors are not too complex, but the interaction between the citrus rind and rye is interesting. A likeable, unusual take on the rye IPA style.
