Feb 12, 2006 Bottled. Amber colour. Grapey aroma, sweetish candy-like. Grapey flavour with notes if pinetree. Hop chock. Wonderful, well balanced beer. An amazing example of the IPA-style. I´d prefer less malt sweetness though. The bitterness was sensed in the middle of the palate, whilst the citrusy tones spreads freshness. Full body, long finish, soft and enjoyable!

Feb 6, 2006 Bottled.
Dark amber colour, low head. Big nutty hop nose(centennial I believe) and notes of grapes and pine. Very fruity in flavour, also caramelly with a nice balanced bitterness that lasts long. Flavouring hops are pretty laid back.

Jan 27, 2006 Bottle courtesy of Beervana. Pours a clear amber with a not very long lasting head. Scents of malt and fruits. Didn’t really detect much floral hop nose. Palate is malty and sweet, with some hop bitterness in the background. Flavors improved as the beer warmed and was nicely balanced

Jan 26, 2006 12oz bottle.
Pours clear auburn-amber with quickly dissipating pillowy head and nice lacing. Very inticing citrus & pine aroma with some malt showing too. Take a sip -- what happened to the malt I detected in the aroma? Flavor is all hops, mostly piney and bitter -- where’d the floral and fruity notes go?. Seems more bitter than its indicated 62 IBUs, though some of the bitterness subsides as it warms and the malt almost makes a showing. Medium mouthfeel and slightly oily finish. Has enough kick to satisfy hopheads though I doubt even they’ll find anything outstanding about it. The best Two Brothers I’ve had yet, though that’s not saying much.

Jan 25, 2006 Pours a deep orange/gold color with almost no head. Aroma is citrusy, but sweet citrus like oranges or red grapefruit. Flavor is also high on citrus with sweetness, like grapefruit with a teaspoon of sugar. Also a nice hop presence. Palate is crisp and clean. An easy to drink, enjoyable IPA.

Jan 23, 2006 This beer is fantastic, it pours a carmalized sugar color. It leaves a thin white lace that not only sticks to the side of the glass but continues almost like the meniscus on a glass of wine. The smell is of citrus, lemon, honey, floural, loads of hop. The taste on the palate is sweet, balanced with the bitterness of the hops. I can really taste the honey as well as a little alcohal on the palate. Overall this beer is great, a fantastic IPA

Jan 20, 2006 Not my favorite IPA. This is my second of the Two Brothers brews. I think that I am having problems with their yeast strain primarily. There are some hops in the aroma, but a lot more malt than I would guess. Call me a hophead, but I like my IPA’s devoid of anything in the nose but hop bitterness. That said, they nailed the color -- beautiful peachy amber. The malt hits you as strongly as the hops upon tasting. Not a bad pale, but nothing close to an IPA.

Jan 20, 2006 12z bottle. Clear ruby hue with a fair amount of white head. Sweet appley citrus aroma. Slight pine in the nose. Sweet and smooth body, closely followed by a bitter dry hop finish, but wait, a floral lingering note. Front part of the profile is slight caramel sweetness, followed by a piney resinous note, and finished up with an orange and pine, melon and floral flavor.
