Nov 8, 2009
bottle from WHole Foods -- "Best by 11/1/09."
pours a slightly hazy, light brown, minimal fine head.
sweet aroma with a deep resin-y pine-y-ness, really carmelized pineapple and honey-sweetened tea.
flavor is more bitter, pine needles and bittersweet caramel.
nice sticky/chewy texture and modest mild bitter finish.

Dec 31, 2009 Bottled (BB 08/2009)@MC
Deep ruby color, small steady beige head. Rye bready, black currant (leaves) in the nose. Sweetish caramelly with rye-bread. Lots of black currant. Leafy finish. Maybe should be freshier.

Dec 27, 2009 Bottle: Reddish hued caramel, moderate sudsy off-white head, fairly clingy lacing. Light sweet malts on the nose, I can only imagine is the palm sugar. Malty on the tongue, hops are very minimal. Pale sweetness. This one has peaked already. Very slight overcooked vegetable on the backside. Body and mouthfeel are moderate. Fairly clean, but I bet its a shadow of its former self.

Dec 27, 2009 Pours mostly clear amber with a thin beige head. Aroma is sweet malt and orange. Rye adds good balance to bitter hop and sweet sugar. Medium light body with good strong flavor.

Dec 23, 2009 nice up-front-spicy-rye balanced by citrusy-hops. well done, though i’m not really a huge fan of rye as more than just a subtle background note of complexity.

Nov 25, 2009 I don’t get much off the nose, only light scallions and cardboard, maybe a little apricot but they’re all muted. The taste is pleasant and mild from start to finish. Flavors of vanilla sugar cookie and light pine are present but I have to believe they are purposely understated unless this brew is too old already. Mouthfeel makes this beer very easy to drink with it’s light carbonation and smooth palate. I imagine this to be what fermented green tea would taste like. Decent beer but underwhelming. Thanks Two Brothers. 2009 12 oz.

Nov 19, 2009 Draft at Barley Island Broad Ripple. Pours a deep rich looking red with a bit of an off white head. The nose is full of piny hops with a bit of a cara malt backbone. Lots of good hop flavor right up to an evergreen finish that I’m not crazy about. Medium body and a mild bitter finish.

Nov 13, 2009 Pours brown with a ruby hue and a light beige head. Caramel malt aroma with a hint of rye bread. The flavor is much better and more diverse. Sugar cane, bread, some candied fruit and some hops on the finish. Very enjoyable.
