 Thanks for checking out this episode of brutal battle beer break and today. I'm doing a beer that is by brewery. That's highly touted And I don't think I've ever had a podcast episode or one of these episodes that's had a beer like this on it Well kind of like this but not from this brewery particularly They're out of ardmore, Pennsylvania it is tired hands brewing and this is their severed goddess hand which clocks in at 7.5 ABV and it is a Double IPA I believe is what they say yeah double IPA some people say imperial some people say double. It's the same But should hopefully be good. Oh, I'm gonna show you the label like I usually do hopefully I can Make the color and the lighting better and post on this But I mean they do You if you couldn't see it too well, there's nothing to really distinguish there They do a lot of like random trippy weird type Stuff so You know, there wasn't a whole lot to decipher on that All right, so Just pour a little bit and make sure I have enough Still just swirl it up. All right. It was what I was assuming I've had some tired hands stuff in the past actually went there and Actually talked about it on a podcast episode when we went to Philadelphia for my birthday Two years ago, I guess. Yeah, so it looks like I would assume from a hoppy beer from them It's very hazy very cloudy unfiltered type look very juicy looking It's got a nice like white head to it. As you can see it's very White-ish yellowish orange-ish all coming together, but hazing on the last of this world All right, what I would expect from the news I Got super juicy It's definitely got a Simcoe type Finish on it a lot of times on the Simcoe I get a little bit of like a caramel-y finish on the nose Or maybe that's actually coming from the malt, but It's got like a nice caramel-y type malt malt or Simcoe hop finish And it's got a lot of really nice citrus right up front Mmm me a little bit of No, I don't want to see mango This does smell it's kind of familiar It sounds smells a little bit of like their pineal IPA, which I was a huge huge fan of when I actually visited tired hands Really juicy smelling That caramel so nice on the end All that juicy juicy juicy citrus up front. Yeah a little mango in there for sure It's a nice mango maybe a little passion fruit to it This was really good. This was really good. It's quite good Mmm-hmm quite nice very nice Oh, and I forgot to mention this beer is compliments of Curtis Ferguson Who will be on a podcast or two podcast episodes coming up on the kind of nearest future? Also known as Kurt Ferg. So Kurt Ferg aka Curtis Ferguson. Thank you very much for this Really juicy up front Very nice thick type of mouth feel coats your whole mouth And it's got that finish like that like caramel-y aspect finish to it a little bit of alcohol Rising on the end in my perception Good, I mean, it's a good beer. It's a nice beer It's what I would probably expect from a brewery like tired hands. They do Very good stuff. Um, this is nice Smells smells like yeah, yeah Now this is um relatively cold I just took it out of the fridge a little bit ago So I'm gonna bet that as it warms up even more I'm gonna get even more of that kind of mango to it, which I do taste some of and um more of like I don't really taste that passion fruit I was talking about the bitterness will probably go down a little bit And uh, yeah that caramel-y aspect might get a little more creamy a little more caramel-y on the end I like it a lot. This is very nice Once again, everyone.
