Where distributed: Block 15 Brewing self-distributes to select markets in Oregon and Washington.
REVIEW:
Appearance (5%): Poured clear golden into a pint glass. White head with trace lacing. 4.25/5
Smell (25%): Slight dank, with more citrus-hop taking center stage. 4.75/5
Taste (40%): Balanced citrus-hop experience throughout. Pleasant citrus on the aftertaste. Not as dank as the regular Sticky Hands beers I used to have several years ago. Makes it extra dangerous in a good way. 4.75/5
Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-full bodied, some carbonation. Virtually no dry tongue. 4.5/5
Overall (20%): A world-class Double IPA. It's been a few years since I even had the regular Sticky Hands, but I'm a big fan of this version that highlights the citrus-hop more. When I saw this was the last single can in the fridge, I figured it had to be good - and it was. 4.75/5
Final Weighted Rating: 4.7/5
