Tired Hands Brewing Company Double Alien Church – American Double / Imperial IPA at 9% ABV (C$13.85 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 15-Jul-2024, acquired 9-Oct-2024, reviewed 17-Oct-2024)
Appearance: hazy medium gold with one finger of fluffy pale ivory head, good retention and spotty lacing. (4/5) Aroma: stone & tropical fruit, dank pine, citrus, cereal grains. (9/10) Taste: moderate-high sweet, moderate-high bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium body, moderate-soft carbonation, sweetish warming finish. (4/5)
As far as I can tell, this is a fairly straightforward doubling of the base version, with the same hopping: brewed with Cascade and Columbus, dry-hopped with Citra, Mosaic, and Chinook. A little hop-burny, with a moderate sustained warming through the finish. Different than the DDH version, but similarly better than the base version. (16/20)
This will be my 5,979th unique Untappd check-in.
