16 oz can.
Pours a hazy pale yellow color with a large fluffy white head. Very good head retention. Leaves a nice crown of lacing along the top of the glass.
Strong aromas of papaya, mango, and citrus with plenty of dank, herbal hops. Spicy, cracked pepper, oregano, weed, grass and dirt. Pungent. Not entirely unpleasant but definitely odd.
The flavor has a ton of grain, grass, spicy hops, cracked pepper and weed followed by some tropical hops and a hint of citrus. Finishes bitter, earthy, piney, and dry.
The feel is medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Creamy and dry.
Overall, a decent NEIPA. This is definitely not a beer for everyone. It's very dank, spicy and herbal. There's not a lot of citrus or tropical notes. It's a NEIPA that tastes and smells like a west coast IPA.

Looks great. Hazy orange with lots of fluffy white head leaving behind nice lacing. Smell is.....I don’t know what, but I’m not fond of it. Tastes good, albeit somewhat nondescript. Solid beer.

Hazy as expected, but despite the light, lemon yellow color to the body, it's not just hazy: it's opaque. Head production is good; retention is nice; lacing is excellent.
Nose is bright, herbal, and citrusy; tropical fruit lurk behind, but the highlights are definitely orange, oregano, cream, ruby red grapefruit, lemon, pepper, and lemongrass. Mango and pineapple round out the profile, but it primarily smells like an orange creamsicle.
Despite the nose, it isn't particularly sweet on the palate. Fairly grainy malt presentation, with the hops adding an almost old-school feel of pine, accented with dried Italian herbs. Hints of citrus, but the modest bitterness - stronger and drier on the finish - prevents any significant citrus peel notes from ever becoming significant.
Lovely creamy yet lively mouthfeel. Carries much more weight than a 6.2% ABV brew should, no doubt at least in part due to the wheat. Fairly dry finish.
I'm a bit torn here. It's a well crafted beer, but it comes across as a little dry and spicy, quite herbal (but not dank) in a way that isn't quite doing it justice. Some more sweetness, either from a higher malt bill (and consequently higher ABV) or the addition of a juicier flavoring hop, would push this into outstanding territory, but for me, it's just good.
Will I enjoy my remaining cans? Absolutely. Would I enjoy this on tap? Equally, absolutely! Would I go out of my way for it or trade for it? No, not specifically.

Traded for this a while ago, as the date on the bottom of the can read either 1/10 of 16 or 18. Regardless of that, this felt and tasted fresh as it went down easily and wasn't reminiscent of their more popular Milkshake offerings. Instead, this felt like something that I would have picked up in Vermont or Massachusetts as this was a typical New England juice bomb-type IPA...
Not a bad pour to this as the liquid was a muted goldenrod with plenty of head to top it off. Lots of rocky foam lingered for a while as there were big clumps of lacing down the back side of my pint glass as I worked my way through this. Lots of floral notes, potpourri, pineapple, and tropical fruit on the nose as there was quite a bit of dankness to the mild aroma. White, dry cheese, citrus slickness, and fruit rind came in on the taste as this was quite varied and heavy after the more mild up-front aspect to this. A bit of crisp evergreen and deep forest came in as this warmed up as the smooth and turgid nature of this beer shone through once I finished it off and fully savored it...
Not a lot of booze here but the Centennial an Simcoe lead me to believe that this was stronger than it was in actuality. Dank, dry, and subtly bitter, this had enough going for it and fit in well with other beers of this style. Love the label and lack of words on it, as this beer nearly defied description too. A welcome change from what put Tired Hands on the proverbial map!
