Oct 23, 2009 12 oz. bottle from Dutch’s in Cincinnati. Hoppy aroma with citrus and malt. Sweet, citrusy, hoppy flavor, but with some soapy, alcoholic notes that prevent it from being smoother and balanced. The problem I had with the alcohol in this one was that it gave a sort of unnatural, chemical character which tainted an otherwise simple hop/citrus/malt IPA.

Oct 21, 2009 bottle into... my mouth. Honestly, its a prety legit IPA. More than I was expecting (citrus, grapefruit hops with some cereal malty backbone). Medium bodied. Easy drinker but not a pounding beer. Overall; quality session brew, whose abv might sneak up on you!

Oct 12, 2009 Couldn’t make out the lot #. Dark, clear amber. Decent tan head. Smells of very sweet hops and malt. Caramel, earthiness. Mouth is kind of slick, still thin. Body and flavor are a good balance. More caramel, malt on taste. Touch of volatile alcohol somewhere. 62 Ibus sounds appropriate. I liked this, though par for the course. One of the better 2 Bros I’ve had.

Oct 9, 2009 12 oz bottle from the Four Firkins Dark golden color, thick crater-like head that leaves nice lacing. Hoppy aroma with some major malty notes to it. Flavor is the same, malty and hoppy with a bitter finish. Pretty smooth beer for how big it is.

Oct 7, 2009 I’ve had this beer many times, but had a rare opportunity to try it on cask last night. The cask version is certainly softer/creamier, with less hop bitterness than the original version. After a side-by-side comparison, I’d have to stick w/ the original. I’m a cask fiend, but an IPA’s got to have a nice hop blast for me. Overall, this is a solid IPA with a crisp, bitter finish.

Oct 6, 2009 Pours a medium-dark amber with a 2 finger head. Caramel on the nose with some citrus hops. Very smooth with a nice bitter finish and near perfect carbonation. Not the hop monster I was hoping it would be, but very well done and very drinkable.

Oct 4, 2009 Whoa! This is a great beer. Very well done. Served with a nice, light tan to cream colored, foamy, frothy head and good lace. Color is a lovely medium amber with copper highlights. Aroma is mostly earthy hops with a touch of citrus and some caramel malt to balance. Flavor’s the same along with some grain. Body is quite good, a bit chewy and good carbonation. Finish is mostly hoppy a touch sweet especially at the very end. Slightest hint of alcohol if you think about it. Well done Brothers! Session beer.

Sep 3, 2009 Pours amber with 3 fingers white head. Aroma is hoppy, pretty nice. Decent hop flavor, enjoyable though flavor is a little too clean and not terribly complex.
