Crooked Hammock Hand of Buddha Cream Ale
Review
Pouring a clear, pale gold with a fluffy cream head, Hand of Buddha bursts with herbal hop aromas and zingy citrus pith, both of which are atypical of the American cream ales of yore, but perfectly embody the rule-breaking defiance of craft cream ales today. What’s hiding in this deceivingly simple-looking ale are helpings of Buddha’s hand, a citrus fruit native to China and the lower Himalayas whose bright gold, finger-like form resembles the hands of the famous statue; along with Madagascar vanilla bean, which comes in subtly on the finish. Crisp, bitter, and refreshing, this spring seasonal is one to look out for if you're a citrus lover, or a simple beer lover ready for an extra kick.
