    Found this in a cellar box today and tossed it in the fridge . I had bought it for a friend that likes Wilds, however he never got over to try it . I don’t know what the shelf life is on these, but I’ve had it awhile as you see it’s a 2015 bottle . It’s Belgian and 9 abv , so hoping it’s ok :wink:


    Well maybe I handled/stored it improperly because it came flowing out when I popped it :slight_frown:

    Definitely something completely new and different for me , but definitely Belgian .
    They say you gotta try everything at least one time :wink:


    CHEERS :slight_smile:

    I haven't watched the video in a bit, but I recall him saying that he liked Heady the best at 10 weeks.

    This one has settled perfectly, about 3 weeks old. Right blend of dank, cream, citrus. Actually like this more now than when I first got it.

    I figured I’d probably take the day off after yesterday’s festivities, but it was a busier day at the office than I expected and I still can’t believe the Eagles won the Super Bowl, so a beer seemed in order.

    A Philly friend dropped me off some Tired Hands on Saturday. NEIPA isn’t my idea of a daily drinker, but they can be fun in small doses.

    That’s awesome !! Rhode Island must be beautiful to cruise ...I miss living at the beach and riding along the ocean in the morning . Hopefully in two years when the Youngest graduates I can move back to the shore ..
    This bike path they built interconnects with another with a break in between, but it might reach all the way to the bridge into Ocean City NJ .. I’ll have to go on an adventure :wink:

    3.75/5 rDev -9.4%
    look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5

    Moderate pour yields a 1/2 inch white head over a cloudy, light golden body with some fleeting, sticky lacing. Nose of tropical fruit, orange, and slight pine. Taste mirrors nose at first and then slides into the bitter abyss where most cloud bombs finish. Feel is too soft for my liking and damn, I must sound like a broken record with these. Just show me the damn carb! Not sorry at all. Cheers!

    Mad Meg with her impressive meringue like topping.

    Letting the head settle down leaves quite the grid.

    I've had a year old heady next to a 3 day old heady and liked the older one better. A little less bitter and the mouthfeel was better!

    I froze a can of Heady overnight, put it in the fridge in the morning, went to work, came home, and cracked and poured it alongside its refrigerated brethren with no difference!

    I'm a little hesitant to boil a can though!

    A pour from a growler of High Road by Tired Hands brewing. No picture cause you guys already know what a cloudy DIPA looks like.
