A sort of sickly sweet hop juice. Can’t help but wonder what the hell is going on, did this thing ever ferment? thick, sweet, warm, flat and awful. Yes, it was awful. I hate to say it, but it was. Smelled and looked OK though. I had it side by side with the regular keg version...it tasted like it had actually fermented! Much better, not so disgustingly sweet/ thick with some carbonation. I’d give the regular about a 3.5/5 for a total. Goblincat (357), Westland, Michigan, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 23, 2004 Pours deep orange. Nose is very hoppy. Taste is very floral and hoppy, as expected. A good IPA. heemer77 (4311), Savannah, Missouri, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 17, 2004 I was told that the hops are shipped in fresh as possible for addition to the beer. The body is a fairly dark orange with a thin head and a decent amount of lacing. The aroma has oranges, caramel and some fresh bread. The taste is fairly sweet like cinnamon bread. It also has some orange rind and a little bit of pepper spice in the finish. This is a nice session brew and is better than most I have had from Two Brothers. kwoeltje (1333), Manchester, Missouri, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 9, 2004 Updated: May 13, 2005To be honest, this was precisely what I expected and I was not disappointed. It wasn’t overtly sweet like some lesser IPAs, and it wasn’t horribly unbalanced like some others. The hops did shine, though as it warmed the bitterness became rather dry. However, had a nice orangey IPA color with sticky lacing and smelled nicely of more traditional hops. Taste was very quenching, with the grapefuit and lemon/orange tastes shining through. Backed by an almost dusty tasting malt character. This was a nice example from a local brewery. Cornfield (4972), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 29, 2004 Updated: Jul 29, 2005Nothing "heavy-handed" here (in this day of Imperial IPAs, it’s a definite overstatement), but a nice, mild-but-serious hoppiness to it. It pours an orange color with a head that disappears almost before the pour is finished. Nice hop aroma, a blend of citric and floral. A smoothly bitter taste with some malt coming through. Tart finish. A nice drink.
