In recent years there has been several new hop varieties available to brewers featuring tropical fruit characters. The popularity of these hops has been huge and difficult to procure. This version of sticky hands celebrates these select hop varieties. Firmly kettle hopped with Apollo, Mosaic, Galaxy and Citra. And then double dry hopped with Mosaic, Galaxy, and Citra. The result is a tropical fruit explosion of Mango, Papaya, and Pineapple with background pine and floral notes, propped up by our favorite pale malted barley.

On tap at Loyal Legion. Pours clear gold with a white head. Aroma has subtle dank and pine hops. Flavour is dank and piney, mango, oily resinous finish. Tons of WC hops with some tropical fruit expression, clean and dank.

Can from Tavour. Pours slightly translucent gold with a huge creamy/foamy white head. Aroma is heavy citrus/pine/resin. More than med body thanks to carbonation. Flavor is grapefruit/citrus/pine resin. There are some tropical fruit notes. Like melon. Very dry. More than moderately bitter. Ale for hopheads. :)

On tap at Belmont Station - Bier Cafe, pours a hazy bright golden with a medium white head. Nose is wonderful, with lots of sticky resinous hops, plenty of pine, dankness, and a touch of tropical fruits. Flavour is just fantastic, with intense piney hops, just enough resins, plenty of dankness, and a hint of tropical fruit. So deliciously piney and resinous. Top-tier west coast IIPA. Seriously does not get much better than this.
