Bottle courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours a clear amber with an average size lasting foamy off-white head. Nice lacing. Looks great! Wonderful aroma of sweet malt and resiny hops -- very well balanced. Flavour’s also a nice balance of sweet malt and resiny hops along with a long bitter finish. Medium bodied. Not much to say really, this is a nice, easy to drink IPA and would make a great session Ale.

I’ve been impressed with every beer I’ve yet tried from Two Brothers, and greatly appreciate the OG, ABV, and IBU numbers on each of their offerings. Copper red with abundant white head. Aroma is a sweet-hop smell. Taste is sweet at first with a hop bitterness at the finish. Very pleasant. This beer is not an over-the-top hop-soda (which I also enjoy), but is an extremely good, more middle-of-the-road, IPA. Bottle bought at Breeze-Thru Liquor in Milwaukee.

Bottle. Rich, amber pour. Piney, slightly sour & grassy aroma. Fresh hop flavor is apparent, and although it could be perceived as a little rough, I really like this beer. Nice offering from a small brewery that has impressed me thus far.

Bottle. Not the typical time of year to start trying new IPAs, but this one just came available at my favorite walk-up. A surprising, solid IPA. Nice citrus aroma. Noticable piney flavor. A terrific bitter, hoppy kick on the finish. Smooth and balanced. Very nice all around.

Bottle: Pours amber in color with little to no head. Smells of a lot of pine, with grassy notes in there as well. I smell just a hint of citrus in this one. Taste has a very earthy feel to it, but seems a bit watery. This bitterness does not resemble the bitterness of anything else I have had. It seems to be a bit dryer than I am used to. batch 2706

Pours a clear ambe color. Aroma isn’t too strong, but still a nice piney hoppy aroma. Nice bitter flavor, a bit thin on the palate though. Good finish just lingers on the back of my tongue.

Sample from a bottle at Binny’s "Fall Festival of BEERS." Nice hoppy IPA, strong hops on nose and palate. Deep golden color, surprising for an IPA.

Bottled. Poured cooper, with a nice, white head. Nose was floral and citrusy, hinting at the hop flavor to come. Taste was citrusy, resiny, and malty, with a wonderful, bitter, hop finish. A great IPA!
