Two Brothers Hop Juice

Hazy orange red with a small white head that dissapates very quickly. The aroma is floral hops with some malty (malt extract) aroma also. The flavor is loaded with bitterness but it really lacks any realy rich resinous hop flavors. Alcohol is also a prominent component, especially as it warms. If the alcohol was toned down a bit it would be more drinakble and overall mroe enjoyable.

Bottle, thanks to NachlamSie. Pours red-amber with lots of yeast floaties and white head. The aroma is, well, hops. Pine and citrus, mostly, and a hint of doobiesmoke. I pick up some sweet cake scents, too. The flavor is tart hops throughout. Citrus hops in the front, floral earthy hops in the finish. There’s some cookiedough sweetness in there, too. Good, but textbook.

Bottle split with Tronraner. Pours amber, fairly dark shade for the style, with a decent white head. Aroma: hops! Resembles cannibas, grapefruit, and some juicy malt sweetness. This hits the mouth pretty hard. There is a fair level of hop intensity which ranges from grapefruit to chalk with a strong resemblance to ganga throughought. The malty foundation is decently balancing with flavors of caramel and perhaps a hint of rye. I get a little peppery burn around the palate. This is just what I would expect from an IIPA and no more or less.

Pours a med. clear amber with a small but lasting and lacy white head. Aroma is innitially of....Crystal malt? This is supposed to be a DIPA? Behind all that malt, there is some alcohol and pine but the hops are pretty one dimensional and very lacking as far as freshness. The body is med.-heavy with a pretty sweet middle. The flavors are chewy malts with a firmness from the water and a pleasant piney and grapefruity hops that lies across the sides of the tongue until it turns into a med. drying bitterness in the finish. This is a nice American Strong Ale. It is not a DIPA.

Pours a orange hue with thin head, nice lacing, and yeast sediment floating about. Smell is caramel malt and resinous hops. Taste is much like the aroma with the caramel malt being the first thing you taste. In the swallow the hops become apparent with citrus and pine notes. This is one of those "resinous" type of IIPA’s. Carbonation is very subtle and almost muted. The alcohol doesn’t have much of a presence either.

Bottle... Mostly clear orange ale with a small, creamy, off-white head. Caramely, floral nose. Not all that bitter up front. Fairly well-balanced. Lots of caramel and herbal, citrusy hops. Full-bodied and chewy with almost soft carbonation. Finishes moderately bitter. Kudos to tever for shooting the bottle my way!

Orangey copper, beige head. aroma is resiny hops and graham cracker. Nice woodsy, hoppy flavors, with a crisp, crackery finish. Not to split hairs, but this seemed more a good session IPA than a doulbe IPA. Tasty nonetheless. Thanks to Springslicker for splitting this one.

The pour reveals a cloudy orange color with floaties and a thin white head. Aroma of resinous and piney hops, the alcohol is felt also. Good flavor of piney and resinous hops with a solid malt base and alcohol, the finish is very bitter and lasts a while. The body has medium thickness with an oily texture and soft carbonation. The beer is tasty, the hops are good but the alcohol presence is a bit annoying.
