Commercial Description:
Thanks for purchasing another offering in our series of "Big Mo" Beers. For as long as people have inhabited Colorado's Front Range, the Twin Sisters have had a strong impact on Colorado residents. The views from atop the 11,428' peaks are breathtaking and afford sweeping views of the entirety of Rocky Mountain National Park. As an expression of admiration we have crafted an ale that exhibits a profound impact all its own. At 11428 IBU's (just kidding), Twin Sisters is a mountainous testament to hops, and that they bring. A feeling of ease and relaxation become apparent for all whom would dare to climb it. So for all that enjoy summiting ales with copious hops additions to achieve a felling of contentment and awe, we offer Twin Sisters Double IPA. Enjoy!

Bottled. An unclear orange beer with a thin orange head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of citrus. The flavor is sweet grassy, citrusy, and hoppy on an OK malt back ground, leading to a dry bitter finish.

Dark copper/amber, huge white head. Aroma is huge malt and little hop presence whatsoever. Plenty of caramel an dresiduel sugar. Flavor on par, slight oxidation. Sort of a lite BW. Apparently this had a little time on it already.

2006 Bottle. Poured amber in color with a tall creamy off-white head. Caramel malts in the aroma with hint of earthiness. The flavor has the citrus and pine feel backed with moderate malts. Medium body and a creamy texture. (Rating from June ’07)

750 bomber, corked and caged, pours a hazy apricot body with a medium beige head that laces well. Some "floaties" noted in the body. Malts dominate the aroma with huge waves of toffee, caramel, and orange marmalade. Body is almost full with a cloying syrupiness. Assertive hops bitterness in the taste is mostly citrus but has some pine sap notes. Malty toffee and orange marmalade are prominent. Just a bit too sweet.

Looks wonderful, pours thick and hazy, orange with copper tones, thick golden head that picks up some of the beer color. Aroma is totally hops citrus, grapefruit juice. Excellent. A little sweet on the taste but all in all a great effort.

750 ml. brown champange style bottle. No freshness date seen.Poured out a hazy orange color, with a sticky tan head. Aromas are of sweet malts, grapefruit hops, and not much else. Flavors are of grapefruit hops, mostly. Some malts sneak in for a brief appearance. Thin body, even thinner mouthfeel. Burning alcohol at the end. Not the best double IPA I ever had.

Bottle, 75cl corked. Pours an orange-golden, hazy body with a dense, medium-sized, off-white head. The aroma is nice, but maybe a bit sweetish, with beef-stock, resin and pine. Sweet, resiny and piney flavor with beef-stock, some alcohol and a lovely bitterness. Full body, and a long, fruity and bitter finish. A wonderful combo of hops and malt. (071228)
