bretupdegraff (172), Fishers, Indiana, USA Jul 9, 2009 anoyingly huge head that took about a year to settle down. ARmoa is nice/hoppy. Taste is very good. nice mix zeke626 (301), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA Jul 4, 2009 Bottle, lot 2678. Pours an orange-amber body with generous orange-tan head. Aroma of grapefruit hops, orange citrus, and caramel malts. Flavor is a bit on the malty side for an IPA; I mainly tasted caramel and sweet malts with a hint of butterscotch and hops. Light hop finish with a leather flavor. Medium bodied with an oily mouthfeel. nuplastikk (1159), Madison, Wisconsin, USA Jun 29, 2009 12oz bottle. Orange-brown color, with a massive head. Dry, astringent hop aroma. Lots of fruity hop tastes, from earthy to hardcore tropical grapefruit. The wet hopping really smooths the bitter hops out, making it more thick and full versus dry and sharp. Certainly a top-notch IPA, way better than average. esjaygee (1467), Oak Creek, Wisconsin, USA Jun 24, 2009 Lot 2678. Murky reddish orange with a mongo foamy tan head that takes too darn long to go down. Aroma is earthier than I’d expect from an IPA with caramel, citrus and some grain mixed in. Full bodied beer is well balanced with some crystal malt mixed in with orange, citrus and pine. Moderate bitterness on the back end that’s got a touch of sweetness to it as well. HopBackDoc (393), Hatboro, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 21, 2009 Pours a copper color with off white head that settles into a thin film with great lacing. Strong aroma of earthy and pine hops. Flavor was grassy and citrus hops up front that were mellowed by a caramel malt and finishing with a slightly bitter hop. Very well balanced, full flavored, and very drinkable. Very fine IPA. shawnm213 (882), South Bend, Indiana, USA Apr 24, 2009 12 oz bottle. i liked this beer. citrus, the right level of bitterness. would drink again ElDuderino (136), Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, USA Apr 13, 2009 On tap, body is a cloudy copper color with a tight pure white head. Aromas of grapefruit and pine needles and some candied sugar. Flavors of pine resin, dust, and meaty sugared grapefruit. This beer was frothy and had a bright focused flavor. The hop profile was heavy and resinous but the malts were light and carried some of the residual sugar in at the end. yesyouam (587), Fairport, New York, USA Apr 13, 2009 Two Brothers Heavy-Handed IPA is a dense, reddish amber ale with a thin, dense, off-white head that fades to leave a thin film with oily bubbles and decent lacing. It has a resiny, green leafy aroma with a doughy, biscuity malt note. It has a silky smooth medium body with a very dry, slightly chalky finish. It tastes spicy and peppery. It’s pretty bitter, but it doesn’t have a lot of hop flavor. It’s fruity and wooden. It tastes very boozy-- it’s hot on the tongue. This is not really my type of IPA, but it’s not bad at all.
