On the one hand, you can say that Four in Hand Crafty Ale is a really deep, complex and, well, crafty brew.

On the other hand, though, you might ask if this is the best they’ve got.

We’re not sure: we’ve had the Winter Brew and like it, and this is a definitely quite likable brew as well. We’re not sold – but we’re not scared away, either. Color us…satisfied. But not turning cartwheels.

Four in Hand Crafty Ale Review

Taste:

Slightly bitter and hoppy. Yet smooth. Slightly bitter finish.

Profile:

IBUs: 60. ABV: 6.3%.

Value:

It’s around 8 bucks for four pint-sized cans.

Metasip Grade: B

And let’s talk about a couple other things here. First of all – a grade of “B” isn’t bad at all. As was this beer – not bad at all. So don’t let that scare you – and let us know if you think we’re off the mark.

ALSO: We were told by an intrepid reporter that this is ostensibly Whole Foods’ house label. Who knew? (Well, they knew.)
