Two Brothers Hop Juice

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

22 oz bomber. Pours a beautiful orange color. The aroma is heavenly for all you hop heads like me, cant get enough. One finger off white head, nice lacing. Nice balance between sweet and hop flavors. When I die I have asked to be embalmed with this stuff. Awesome.

Bottle pours a nice orange/amber color. Has a nice white head. Laces the glass well as you drink it. Smell like I just walked into a forest with sappy pine trees surrounding me everywhere. Tastes like sweet caramel with a nice resiny hop aftertaste. One of my favorite IIPA’s.

22oz bomber poured into a 12 ounce snifter. Color is crystal clear beautiful amber. Head disapates fairly quickly but leaves a nice lacing. Scentes of pine but not overpowering with malt in the background. Holds a malty flavor that balances perfectly with the hops while the alcohol just comes through. Drinks smooth... (dangerously smooth) I can certainly finish a couple of these in one sitting at home. Overall an exceptional example of an Imperial IPA with amazing drinkability. Another great beer from the brothers in Warrenville, IL.

Bottle. Pours amber with a nice head. Nice consistency... not tooo malty but very hoppy. nice balance ... a very enjoyable brew . One of the best balanced double’s. An EXELLENT BREW. thanks for making the 4th of july fun. This is underated. I’m going again.

Had a bottle of this prior to my pool-side chill. Nose of pine, citrus, some alcohol, and spice. Pours an orange copper with yeast men floating around like sea monkeys in my glass. The ridiculous thick creamy off-white head is fully lasting with great sheets of rocky lace. The flavor is exceptional - WOW! Perfect 10, stellar finish of dried fruit. The full body is soft and dry.

A: Pours a gorgeous coppery reddish brown with ample 2 finger head and lots of lacing, before I’ve even taken a sip. Just by looking at this beer (and reading the label which indicates 100.1 IBUs), you know it’s going to be a hoppy/malted monster. S: For a beer that clearly has a lot of hops and malts, there isn’t much smell at all beyond a faint sweet scent, probably from the hops. T: No doubt, this baby is a hophead’s dream. Slight grapefruit & pine flavors dominate the initial tastes and then gradual sweetness from the malt gives way to a wonderful, lingering finish before drying up and begging you to take that next sip (gulp). Not as sweet as some DIPAs, not as overly hopped as others, Two Brothers has created a strong balance here. Delicious. M: Great mouthfeel to this one, the beer deliciously coats the tongue with loads of well, juices from the NW hops. Leaves a slight oily, slick residue with each sip, I find myself smacking my lips with each mouthful. D: Exceptional. The beer is not heavy at all, especially given the almost barbaric 9.9% ABV, lol. A couple of these bombers and you’d be dancing the Sly & the Family Stone jig, if you get me. I loved this beer, too bad it’s so limited. As the label says, "...get it now, ’cause when it’s gone, it’s gone. Boo hoo."

2008 tasted at Jerry’s. Orange-amber with big, frothy off-white head / Fresh pine, floral, orange & grapefruit nose / Medium body with excellent balance between hops, alcohol and fruit / Complex flavors of fresh pine, violets, clover, grapefruit, orange, and burnt sugar / A tad overly sweet; otherwise, a terrific 2ipa - rivals 3 Floyd’s Dreadnaught.

22 oz. bomber pours a hazy glowing orange color with a thick creamy off-white head that leaves a nice lace in my glass. Nice hoppy aroma of grapefruit and pine, resinous sticky pine and grapefruit flavors , full bodied with a soft and creamy mouthfeel, not syrupy like most double IPAs, finishes with a lingering bitterness, alcohol very well hidden for almost 10%.
