Tired Hands (August 2016)

Great!

Has anyone tried Hoi Oligoi?

 

Pineal 2 different batches. The one on the left from 7-26 and the one on the right 8-24. I definitely prefer the one from 7-26. A little malty, huge tropical notes, vanilla and citrus flavors that linger. Let them age folks.

 

Don't forget sisters and girlfriends.

 

I have 3 cans (one each of today’s release). My ‘plan’ is to age them for two weeks before drinking these beers. Do you have a personal preference for when is the best aging time?

Cheers!

 

I generally like to wait 3-5 days before even opening an TH can. I plan on having a few Technicolor, Mango Milkshakes, and Strawberry Shakes this Saturday though!

 

I had a Pineal from the 7/26 release the other night and much preferred it fresh. Was still good and drinkable though.

 

Maybe two weeks is the 'sweet spot'!?!

Cheers!

 

I had another hop hands from last week's release tonight and it's not getting better. That beer is just sad now.

 

i had a few last week and some recently how cold are you pouring them? they tasted great/ shine at cool temperature.

 

They are pretty cold to start, but the one I had tonight warmed up while I listened to the AHA webinar. I only picked up the 4 pack to compare it to a clone I just kegged tonight. My hydrometer sample had so much more hop flavor than than the Hop Hands. There is only a little aroma with HH and the flavor is just a little tart and sweet with that oat finish in the background. It could be oxidation with the canning, but I'm not sure. I always choose Saison Hands on draft when I'm there because I rather not be disappointed.

 

Honestly poured fridge temp hophands tastes like meh, let it warm up it all good.

 

I always going saisonhands over hophands - that beer just keeps better each batch

 

We don't know how many Florid and Florid dry hop bottles are going to be available yet, correct?

 

FWIW, I got there at Noon today and waited a whole 5 minutes before walking out with 2x Pineal and 1x HoiOligoi. I understand Hoi is sold out now, with Pineal not too far behind.

I am liking these most recent releases...

 

I'm really liking the Hoi Oligoi. I like it A LOT more than Hoi Polloi. Very much in line with their other ipas. A pleasant surprise. Should have bought more than 1 4-pack.

 

They still had some left at opening today.

 

Shoot, I won't be able to get there till 330...wanted to get some of that Hoi!

 

Well shucks. That's what happens when you name a new beer after an unpopular previous beer though. I knew Pineal wouldn't let me down.
