Two Brothers Cane and Ebel

Brewed by Two Brothers Brewing Company
Style: American Strong Ale
Warrenville, Illinois USA

(Bottle courtesy of Headbanger). Aroma is a pine like hop scent. Color is a rich ruby with mellow carbonation and a thin ring of a head. Taste is rich and citric. Starting with a medium body it goes down crisp. Finish comes in with a big bold grapefruit taste that has a slight sweetness to it and a rich feel, then a faint bitterness comes on. After taste is surprisingly clean with a slight dry feel and a little of the grapefruit lingering. This is a tasty and very unique brew, but I think the grapefruit taste is a little strong.

bottle BB 6/19/2008 by way of bgburdman9... pours a beautiful rich deep copper color with an off white head and moderate clingy lacing. the aroma seems rather faint... citrus, caramel grain and light seedy bitterness. the palate is on the sweet side... which isn’t bad when there is something other than sugar in the profile. this is one of those unfortunate examples.... raw sugar flavor. i wouldn’t say ’vanilla’... more like the gourd sugar you can get at the asian markets and earthy like palm sugar. rye is definitely present in the aftertaste, though. medium body, rich creamy texture and soft mouth feel. it leaves a sticky film on the lips.

I found myself frequently drinking this on draft at a local bar which indicates I like it more than I think. Pours more brown than red with scent of hops and rye. There is no mistaking the rye flavor but the hops are equally as present. Good beer.

This is good stuff, gotta drive for some more i think. Similar to red’s rye. Drink this one a bit warmer as it really comes into it’s own. Plenty of hops here and the rye lends itself nicely to the finish as well. where can i get some of these summit hops?

Bottle: Pours a brown/reddish orange with a strong tan head. The aroma is rich with bready rye character. There’s also a fruity hop presence, giving it tropical fruit undertones, covered by some brown sugar sweetness. Creamy body with a chewy feel. Rich rye presence in the flavor- bready with dark caramel malt, lots of grainy/seedy flavors. Has some subtle fruity background notes of maple covered mango. Smooth bitterness in the finish. Nice and tasty stuff.

Bottle pours deep amber brown with little head that reduces to a surface haze and ring. The aroma is fruity, orange, sour cherry, and caramel. The flavor is sweet up front, spicy, rye, and a fresh hop finish that does not disappoint. The palate is rich and filling. Overall, a fine beer.

Moderate, sudsy off-white head and bright amber body. Nice spicy blend of rye, sweet crystal malt, and earthy hops in the nose. Smells like sweet spiced bread. Pleasant finish is crusty, crisp and bitter. Very solid red rye beer. Worthy of revisiting.

Dark brown or red color with a thin head. Strong pine hop aroma, along with rye and caramel malt. Very crushing pine hop flavor. Massive acidic bitterness. Light sweet malt and sugar background, but it is fairly well crushed by the bitterness.
