COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
India Pale Ale style well suited for Hemingway-esque trips to the Upper Peninsula. American malts and enormous hop additions give this beer a crisp finish and incredible floral hop aroma.

Il doit faire 42 degrés à Key West. On marche sur Duval et nous avons soif. Que vois-je à l’horizon? Un World of Beer! Un petit pit-stop s’impose. C’est ma première bière en fût bue sur cette île certainement quétaine. La fameuse Two Hearted arrive devant moi comme une oasis après 8 jours de marche dans le désert El Azizia. Le nez est explosif et c’est peu dire. Mes narines sont complètement assaillies par une horde de fruits aux dents bien acérées : des pêches et des agrumes de toute sorte montrent une sublime puissance. Impressionnant. Une fois le choc passé, je trouve, derrière cette expertise fruitée, autre chose de très vert comme la rencontre entre une forêt boréale et une forêt de la côte ouest : j’ai des conifères et des fleurs qui poussent dans les orifices de mes fosses nasales. Je suis ravi. La première gorgée est fantastique. La seconde et les suivantes sont merveilleuses. J’ai sur les papilles des saveurs maltées mielleuses et des saveurs houblonnées à me faire croire que dieu peut exister l’instant de quelques lampées: je me prosterne quelques secondes face à Kalamazoo en louangeant les fleurs, le cèdre et les fruits tropicaux et du verger qui arrivent comme une volonté divine. En bouche, tout est fait pour me plaire. Le corps presque huileux et le pétillement calibré de cette bière sont des facteurs qui facilitent grandement sa buvabilité. Cette bière est tellement facile à boire que je dois me retenir entre chaque gorgée pour faire durer le plaisir. La finale, comme une ode aromatique, est plutôt sèche et moyennement intense. Nul doute que cette proposition est extraordinaire. Extraordinaire car elle est excessivement fraîche et extraordinaire car, pour un moment, je suis Ernest Hemingway et je pars à l’instant boire un coup au Sloppy Joe’s.

Had this beer many times, both draft and out of the bottle. Always enjoyed as it has never dissapointed. One of the 1st craft beers I was exposed to, so it holds a special place in my heart. Bought a sixer at my local grocery store. Hazy golden color with a nice white fluffy head. Aroma is a mild hoppy smell. Creamy mouthful, very smooth, slight sweet malt backbone with a citrus hop flavor. Good spring, summer, fall, winter beer. Recommend to others.

Bottle at Bella Bacino. Pours deep golden amber with a thick off white head. Aromas and taste of hops, citrus, malts and pine resin. Great balance between all the flavor profiles.Taste is not overly bitter and is incredibly drinakble. Really refreshing. Great IPA.

Aroma: citrus and hops. Appearance: deep gold, thin but lasting head with good lacing. Taste: citrus tang up front, hoppy finish. Palate: good full mouthfeel but not chewy. Medium length wet finish. Overall: living in Michigan I don’t know why it took me so long to try this. Absolutely amazing.

Pours a slightly reddish rich golden colour with a nice off-white head. Forward aromas of cherry & grapefruit accompanied by lots of spice, resin, slight dank & subtle malt as it warms. Taste is crisp, somewhat grassy, nicely bitter, with smooth but tart finish that keeps on expanding on the spice and malt. Light to medium bodied, this beer is very refreshing. Delicious!

This is the gift that keeps giving and they make plenty of it. A great beer to have in your fridge in the summer. It’s a nice light and easy beer to drink. If you are trying to ease a friend into craft beer this is a good one to have them try.

Really one of my favorite IPA’s from the Midwest. To many of these will leave you with a sour stomach though from it being unfiltered and thick.
