12 oz bottle. Pours a crystal clear copper color with a white head and some lacing. Aroma is malty, cereal, bread. Medium body on the palate with soft carbonation. Flavor is sweet, malty, crisp, with a light, clean, bitter finish. Not as good as the original Two Women Lager (R&D Series), but still another excellent beer from NG. Reviewed on 03/31/2011.

Aroma of lightly roasted malts. Light brown pour with a pale head. Flavour is comprised of brown malts and light hops.

New Glarus makes consistently good beer and Two Women is no different. Aroma is sweet, with faint maple. Pours a very carbonated amber with a pillowy off white head. Taste is very crisp and sweet with a light, malt finish. Very, very smooth on the palate with a carbonated bite. Overall, a very drinkable, solid lager from New Glarus.

UPDATED: SEP 3, 2012 [Bottle, thanks, Guerde!] Pours amber with a very small off-white head. Aroma is just barley, and...more barley. I really don’t get much else from it. Taste is basic, but as I would expect from New Glarus, free of any flaws. Just showcases the barley again with light bitterness and a subdued honey sweetness towards the end. Medium-thin mouthfeel, long finish. A very basic, but enjoyable beer. Not quite what I was hoping for when i read the rave reviews for the previous version of this beer, but still good, and would make for a very easy-drinking session beer. Maybe if I bought a case and drank it this summer I would up my score, but I just can’t go much higher at the moment. Thanks again, Andy!

Re-rate: Better than I remember. Still not great, but pretty good.

Moderately sweet, malty aroma. Amber - perfectly clear. Attractive beer. Very smooth lightly malted - extremely drinkable. There is no comparison between a quality lager like this when compared to the common macros that are the big sellers.

Aroma is bready, malt-forward with caramel and cereal notes, slight floral/spicy character from the hops, Pours a light amber, crystal clear, with an ample white head and great retention, lots of lacing. A light bitterness and touch of hop flavor lead in, followed by bready malt and some caramel sweetness. There is a bit of a metallic/mineral bite in the finish. Medium body and carbonation. Nice sessionable lager, although I prefer Spotted Cow or Totally Naked as far as lighter offerings from New Glarus go.

Copper with a medium off-white head. Aroma of grains, bready malt, grassy hops and a touch of skunk. Taste of mild grassy/noble hops, bready malt, mild caramel and grains. A shade metallic on the finish.

Nothing special, but not bad either. Not as good as the old recipe but still not bad.

12 oz bottle from local grocer. Pours a reddish color; thin lead and slight nose. Been drinking a lot of APA and IPA’s lately...and porter / stouts...so this feels and tasts ’thin’....as I sip it, the tastes begin to come thru and it improves. All in all, a good lager from our friends at NG and their brewing friends at Weyerman.
