Tired Hands Brewing Company DDH Alien Church – American IPA at 7.0% ABV (C$13.85 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 26-Jul-2024, acquired 9-Oct-2024, reviewed 17-Oct-2024)
Appearance: hazy pale gold with one finger of fluffy pale ivory head, good retention and spotty lacing. (4/5) Aroma: citrus, stone & tropical fruit, cereal grains, dank pine. (9/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium body, moderate-soft carbonation, off-dry medium duration finish. (4/5)
Brewed with Cascade and Columbus, dry-hopped with Citra, Mosaic, and Chinook, secondary dry-hopped with Citra and Galaxy. Quite a bit better than the base version. It’s only about three weeks younger, so I’m not sure that’s the deciding factor here, or whether it’s the hopping. I lean towards it being the hopping, actually, because there’s still a little edge (though not as pronounced) on the tongue and through the finish. Again, probably not worth the price tag, but pretty great. (16/20)
This will be my 5,978th unique Untappd check-in.
