Part Vortex, part Sticky Hands, 100% bright, aromatic, perfectly balanced IPA.
A collaboration with Block 15. Imagine if the legendary Sticky Hands Double IPA and your year-round, all seasons go-to Vortex IPA met at a sports bar half way between Astoria and Corvallis. Hot, clear summer day, a cool breeze off the water and the barest hint of a summer storm gathering on the horizon. They hit it off, obviously, and a few short months later - Vortex Hands is born. A bright, aromatic, perfectly balanced IPA. You’ve got Fort George’s face, Vortex Hands - but you’ve got your father’s lusciously sticky hop aroma.
Hops: Simcoe, Comet, Mosaic, Chinook, Apollo, Apollo Extract,
Malts: Rahr Pilz, GW 2Row, Flaked Wheat, Flaked Barley

Canned March 27th 2025, from Good Times Oakland.
Gorgeous clear pale gold, substantial head of foam, good retention and lacing.
Smell is piney, resinous aroma, light toasted malt, very inviting.
Taste is pine, citrus light fruity hoppiness, toasted malt, all in all, almost as good as the smell.
Sticky mouthfeel, which I dig.
Excellent IPA.

Aroma has notes of tangerine, pineapple, biscuity malt. Taste has a light building to moderate bitterness with lots of juicy hop character. A lot better than Vortizafa.

16oz can from Brewers Haven. Clear golden pour, nice, fill, fluffy white head. Hoppy aroma, earthy, pine, caramel. Taste is resinous, citrus. Sticky feel, mouth coating. Mild sweetness and not overtly bitter. Smooth, creamy.
