Oct 23, 2009 Dark golden pour from bottle. Plenty of hoppy bitterness. Decent IPA, however, for a less costly Left Hand IPA go with Warrior.

Oct 21, 2009 sample at The 2009 Great Decatur Beer Festival on 10/17/09... pours a dark golden... big hop and malt driven aroma... medium body with a balanced amount of hops and malts... this is less hop forward than most IIPAs... feels a bit average, but still tasty.

Oct 2, 2009 (bomber). Cloudy pale orange/yellow color. Medium off white head. Floral and earthy hop aroma. Hoppy rye flavor. Avg duration. Light bitter finish. Slick texture. Soft carbonation. Good lacing.

Sep 22, 2009 Bottle from the Fort Worth Gingerman. Great aroma, nice taste, aftertaste leaves something to be desired.

Sep 19, 2009 A very slight haze, but otherwise a middle of the road amber color. Generous head retains well, very light textured head at that.
Nose is on the weaker side - not a lot of big aromatic notes that scream at you. I detect a clean, light citrus such as lemon peel. Very light.
Flavor is alcohol. Oh, besides that... well, let me retaste... Ok there’s some hops too, but mostly warm alcohol flavor with a tinge of malt in there. Finish is very warm, from the alcohol. Why was this bottled in such a special way? Shouldn’t have made it to production, IMO.

Sep 9, 2009 Very good IPA. Strong, bitter and has quite a kick. Real good brew.

Sep 7, 2009 Underated. Excellent in all respects. Nice head and lace. Pleasent from first whiff to after taste. None of the harsh acidity of many Impy IPA’s. Perhaps a touch sweet but in no way cloying.

Aug 31, 2009 22 oz. bottle. Vintage 2008. Pours a thick, lasting, slightly off white head, with extensive lacing, over a cloudy (?dry hopping) golden (SRM 9-11) body.....nose has toffee, cereal, pine, pineapple, floral tones, honey, mild citrus, and a tiny bit of barnyard....taste mild sweet malts followed by gentle bitterness, with citrus, pine, spice, and a large helping of pineapple.....mouth feel is medium, carbonation also. This is an Imperial/Double that is lighter on pure bitterness than many, and is relying on the subtle nuances of the hop back bone for its character. This was nicely done. I would like to see the hop bill, if only for the names. Twin Sisters was the first mountain I did with my father in1960.
