“Irish twins” (like Confluence head brewer John Martin and his sister Bridget) are siblings born less than a year apart. Irish Twin beer was a “happy accident” that happened when we set out to make a new batch of Imogene Red Irish Ale using its usual malt bill of English Maris Otter two-row malt and English Challenger hops. But after adding the yeast, which was labeled as the Irish yeast called for in the recipe, we discovered the yeast was actually an unidentified Belgian variety. The resulting never-to-be-duplicated beer is a sibling to Imogene Red with a Flemish DNA twist of unique-yet-subtle spiciness, aromas and flavors of clove, a little banana and coriander.
