Two Brothers Prairie Path Ale

Brewed by Two Brothers Brewing Company
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale

draft at Claddagh’s. This had just been put on the tap and you could taste the freshness. reasonably hoppy, lightly honeyed, a tiny bit watery but still pretty good. easily the best beer they were pouring there.

i’m gonna pretend like this is the blueberry ale till i am able top prove otherwise. here are my notes: good. belgian hop aroma. light color. there’s good blueberry complement. balanced but front-loaded. creamy, but watered down (seriously?). balanced.

Bottle… Lightly hazed yellow ale with a small, fizzy, white head. Grainy, earthy, citrusy aroma. Medium-bodied and lightly creamy with tingly carbonation. Perfectly balanced, but a tocuh thin and watery. Moderately bitter with low acidity and zero residual sweetness. Short, crisp, mildly tangy finish. Big thanks to Douglas88 for floating this one my way!

Objectively speaking: Typical golden pale ale that does not want to stand out of the crowds.
I like: Brasserie Jo in downtown Chicago focuses on fine French cuisine and serves a broad range of local micros to accompany them. Their cheapest offering is this regular pale ale from Two brothers, so it serves as a “can be paired with anything” type of beer. Therefore, it assumes its absence of frivolity. Hay-like and grassy hops that become more floral in mouth.
I dislike: Timid light cerealic malts.

Bottle courtesy of dchmela. Pours a slightly hazy copper with a thin white head. Smells of caramel, some earthy hints, grass. Tastes spicy and earthy with a semi-sweet finish.

12 oz bottle. Bottle says "Golden Ale," not Pale Ale. Good slightly hazy golden color with a big white head that holds and laces well. Aroma is simple but refreshing (I am really stuffy so can;t really get the best sense of the aroma) - nice pale malt with a bit of sweet pine and grapefruit hops. Flavor is very grainy with a very distinct cereal flavor. The hops work well with it. Great pale ale style for the fall. Medium to light body, medium carbonation. Overall: good fall session beer wiht a bit more flavor than a simple Pale Ale

12oz bottle, courtesy of ryan. Thanks! Pours a slightly hazy, bright, lemony-orange color; off-white head with good retention and fine-bubbled lacing. Crisp, dry aroma showing sugar, citrus, and cereal; nicely dry with a mild mineral bitterness. Medium mouthfeel: resiny, mineral and citrus bitterness upfront, but not overtly bitter; crisp, dry at the core, lively carbonation, and just excellent drinkability overall; toasty breadiness and crackers, with a light malty sweetness; perfectly drinkable. Lengthy finish: crackers, toasty malts, and lingering mineral bitterness; excellent dryness and toastiness at the end.

Lakewood, Oh. - Rozi’s Fine Wines - 12 oz bottle. Dark golden pour with a fluffy pillowy white head and excellent lacing. Clean, grainy aroma with some fresh lake water accents. Flavor is smooth with some buttery accents a hint of pears, and a bit of back end grassiness. Mouthfeel is clean and crisp. Well done.

Pretty much what I expected for a golden ale. I got this beer as part of a variety pack. Pours a gold with a white head. Flavor has a slight bit of hops, but otherwise not that much too it. Easy to drink though, decent beer.
