I love Tired Hands beers, I find HopHands to be just an amazing session beer. I had been thinking about trying to clone HopHands for a while, after some research and picking brains of the folks over there I have gotten very very close. It needs a small tweak or to, a bit more bitterness, but the aroma, body, and the citrusy flavors are spot on. If anyone else here has interest in this beer and wants to try to clone it this is a very good starting point, maybe together we can all nail down this recipe.
You can read me ramble on about it here if you're interested.
