Sticky Hands - Greatest Hits Vol. 1
Block 15 Brewing - Southtown Tap Room

 

On tap at Orenco Taphouse.

Mildly hazy light orange with a large, dense white head with good retention and lacing. The nose is juicy, bitter and mildly fruity with pine, candied orange, a little pineapple, a little peach and sour grape. A slightly doughier malt character, a little more biscuit like , than the regular Sticky Hands is present. The palate opens mildly sweet with a blend of fruity and juicy sweetness and a moderately aggressive pine and orange bitterness . Peach, mango, a little honey and pineapple are present. Moderate bitterness on the finish with a creamy, smooth body with mild carbonation. Alcohol is mildly noticeable, lending a little heat to this beer. Solid.

Poured into a snifter. The beer was a slightly hazy, pale gold color with a medium sized white head that lingered. Nice lacing in the glass. Big aroma with tropical and berry notes and a serious dank presence. Same on the palate. The resin outshined the tropical fruity notes and the bitterness was old school, lingering on the finish. The malt was there, featuring subtle dry, bready notes. Dry and clean finishing. Overall an outstanding, flavorful, and assertive DIPA. Recommended for those who like big resinous IPAs.

A golden color, slightly hazy but not like NEipa hazy. It’s more like a dry hopped, unfiltered west coast ipa.

The nose brings a huge juiciness. Fruits, slight resin.

The taste brings earthy resin. A mix between dirty and clean resin.

Feel is a little sharp with the resin. Definitely brings more bitterness to the table than a NEipa. Not syrupy, but slick.

 

Just as beautiful as the original, arguably better or worse depending on opinion. Either way, a bright yellow, somewhat clouded body with ribbons if haze swirling around. The foam above is sudsy and soft looking, clinging to everything it touches.

The aroma is less intense than the original. Less piney, at least. Still bold and chalked full of fruit juices, resin, and even a hint of black licorice.

As with the aroma, the flavors seem a bit more mellow too. Light mango, grapefruit, weed and pine sap cover up an ever so slight toasty breadiness. Again, a trace of black licorice finishes things off.

Still very much, and very enjoyably, on the bitter side of the spectrum. Moderate carbonation, sharp and crisp feel with a residual slickness and a mild warmth.

As with any variation of Sticky Hands, just a pleasure to consume. A little less intense than the original, but hard to determine if "better" or "worse". No complaints. Awesome, as expected. Cheers.

Outstanding. Upfront floral hops, tropical citrus, Toasty rich malts, peppery, bready finish. Amazing
