Dec 20, 2005 More of an APA than an IPA. To tell you the truth, Ive been much less than impressed with Two Borthers’ offerings, and this is no exception. Pours a crystal clear copper orange with some whitish head that dissipates rather quickly. No bubbles anywhere to be found. I really hate filtration and force carbonation. Nose is rather light, a mix of floral and citric hops, along with some dough. Taste is rather weak, certainly not "Heavy Handed". Begins with a rather thin and boring malt mixed with some more floral hops. Finishes bitter and dirty, almost a dusty or ashen taste. The only thing going for this beer is its extreme sessionabilty, not something I was expecting from reading the label. Where did the 62 IBU’s go?

Dec 13, 2005 I would have really enjoyed this ipa but it had an overly sweet sticky finish..........

Dec 13, 2005 Pours slight hazy amber with a thin white head. Mostly hops in aroma with some floral/grassy notes. Flavour is well balanced and citric with a quite decent bitterness. Malty and somewhat roasty. Long aftertaste.

Dec 5, 2005 Bottle. Medium copper color, subdued nose. Slight metallic bitterness up front, with a malty sweetness to the middle. Finishes dry, if a little weak.

Dec 2, 2005 No aroma that I could discern. Very big hoppy flavor, yet it was also very smooth. Overall it was good, but nothing special.

Nov 27, 2005 Updated: Nov 13, 200612oz - Aroma is floral hops with a touch of carmel malt. Pours a transparent copper color with a very small head and little lacing. Flavor is wet floral hops with a small carmel malt back. Much more balanced than the "Hop Juice". Palate is smooth. An easy drinking IPA. - UPDATE - had this on tap at Charlie’s Ale House in Wheaton, IL and notched up the aroma one point and everything else stayed the same. The floral hops were sharper and more pronounced in the aroma. Otherwise, the rating is the same.

Nov 18, 2005 Whiskey-colored with a compact head that fades fast to film. Sweetish caramel behind grapefruit, the hops here are bigger in its taste than aroma. Crisp, fresh apple starts the flavor; sweet malts reveal as caramel with roast; bittering finishes with a citrus hit of orange and lemon. Some resemblance to a watery liqueur. 62 IBUs may sound like alot, but this was a very sessionable IPA that was not as "heavy handed" as I’d hoped. (A comfortable level of bitterness, I’d suppose, for the uninitiated.)

Nov 16, 2005 On tap at The Map Room. Pours a medium orange with a rocky thick head that gradually fades away. The aroma was relatively mild for an IPA with malts being more prominent than the standard citrus and pine hops. Medium bitterness on the finish.
