Two Brothers Hop Juice

Brewed by Two Brothers Brewing Company
Style: Imperial/Double IPA
Warrenville, Illinois USA

Bottle... Mostly clear orange ale with a small, creamy, off-white head. Caramely, floral nose. Not all that bitter up front. Fairly well-balanced. Lots of caramel and herbal, citrusy hops. Full-bodied and chewy with almost soft carbonation. Finishes moderately bitter. Kudos to tever for shooting the bottle my way!

Orangey copper, beige head. aroma is resiny hops and graham cracker. Nice woodsy, hoppy flavors, with a crisp, crackery finish. Not to split hairs, but this seemed more a good session IPA than a doulbe IPA. Tasty nonetheless. Thanks to Springslicker for splitting this one.

The pour reveals a cloudy orange color with floaties and a thin white head. Aroma of resinous and piney hops, the alcohol is felt also. Good flavor of piney and resinous hops with a solid malt base and alcohol, the finish is very bitter and lasts a while. The body has medium thickness with an oily texture and soft carbonation. The beer is tasty, the hops are good but the alcohol presence is a bit annoying.

Bottle. Poured hazy copper with a moderate white head that lasted with good lacing. Heavy caramel sour citrus hoppy aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture. Medium bitter flavor with a medium balanced small alcohol finish of moderate duration. This is a standout beer.

Hazy orange pour showing a fading white head. Sweet and alcoholic nose where orange juice and lime make for most of the flavours. Not very complex in its shy maltiness that lets alcohol take more room than I would like. Minty, herbal and juicy palate with bright citrus flavours that have too little to uplifts them to the hop heavens. Medium bodied, light oiliness, moderately active carbonation consisting of tiny bubbles.

before i even notice the aroma i notice why they call it hop juice. i ask the person who poured it if he cleaned the glass cause there are bits of hop floating around like a blizzard. aroma is malty hoppy seems overwhelmingly like cascade hops but several others in there as well. pine and grapefruit fills the nose. flavor puts it a little above other iipas with a decent amount of carmel malt balancing out the hops. full palate of different hop flavors grapefruit, citrus, but it could use a bit more hop spiciness.

Bottle from Beastie. Pours a slightly opaque, medium amber color. Scant white head fades moderately to quickly, could be the glass. Decent lacing left behind. Aroma is malty, moderate caramel and light nutty notes. Reminiscent of a moderately aged BW. Medium to full bodied with a lower perceived carbonation level. Nice balance of malt and hop. Lingering bitterness is not overwhelming. A good IIPA but not really running with the top dogs that I have sampled.

Pours rich medium / dark amber with a small head that still gives good lacing. Aroma is all hops, mainly citrus and perfumy with some pine mixed in as well. Medium / full bodied with light carbonation. Floating hops or yeast were suspended in the glass like a snow globe. Starts with a semi-sweet grainy malt that is quickly overtaken by the hops. Finish is heavily resiny & oily. There are lots of heavy hops - a combo of citrus, pine, perfume and wood - quite a variety of hop tastes, but it is missing spiciness. Nice IIPA.
