Urine colored yellow pour with no head. Very malty nose wth a fishy flavor.

Had this one bottled in a mix pack from World Market in St. Charles, Illinois, thanks Mom and Dad! Medium yellow pour with a thick, white head, a mild nose of citrusy hops, not much going on there, highly drinkable and balanced but really not much taste either. I really don’t care for this style.

Pours a medium gold body with very small froth head. Aroma has a very crisp hop notes and a little stale malty. Flavor starts with the same sort of stale maltiness with a quick bitter fruity finish. Medium bodied, I sort of wonder if it may be a bad batch because it just seemed a little so-so to me compared to some of the other Two Bros I have had.

Draft had a rocky creamy head. There is a light hoppy aroma along with a smell of sour milk. This beer has a thin watery mouthfeel and is a balanced. Average beer. To watery for my taste, I hoped for more flavor.

Pours clear golden with not many bubbles and a dismal white froth for a head. Some bread in the aroma, sour malt, but mostly skunked German hops. Typical Two Brothers sweetness...bleh... the malt is sugary like corn syrup and not bready like the style dictates. Hops are drowned out in the sugariness. A little bit bitter in the finish. Tastes like the other Two Bro’s brews. Sour and yucky like week old bottom of the barrel keg beer.

Pour is clear yellow with a thin white head...smell is faintly grassy and grainy...taste is grainy and sweet...they had it on cask too which would have been interesting to try, but alas, I did not...very well balanced...

On tap at Jerry’s. Honey-gold with decent, off-white head / Floral, honied, toasty nose / Medium body, with good malts, and a touch of bitter hops on the good finish / Flavors of roast grain, honey, flowers / Outstanding.

Hazy golden pour. Little head. Carbonation is lively in the mouth with taste of light malts. Very well balanced with hops for a crisp finish.
