Commercial Description:
India Pale Ale style well suited for Hemingway-esque trips to the Upper Peninsula. American malts and enormous hop additions give this beer a crisp finish and incredible floral hop aroma.

Sixer at the Wegman’s by my folks for Turkey day. I am underwhelmed with this puppy.. Yeah yeah lots of hops. Yeah yeah it smells like a hop silo. yes it is a nice pale yellow gold with a respectable ammnt of carb. with at thin continuous head. It has a bit (this much) body which reduces itself to a thin watery body. I found this brew lacking for all the hype. It aint hop devil. B.L.A.H.

I’ve had this via bottle and tap. Will now only go the bottle route. This is hands down the best IPA I have ever gotten my hands on. I have tried many, but I always go back to the old stand by, Two Hearted.

Cloudy, lightened copper pour. Huge, pillowy white head. Very frothy and sticky. Super flowery nose. Fresh floral and grapefruit. Mellow flavor, very fresh and crisp, lightened citrus and fleeting pine. Sweet, toasty malt backbone. Medium to medium-thick body. Finishes with a touch of resin...just to let you know it’s there. I’m not sure about Hemingway-esque trips to the upper penninsula, but this is an easy drinking IPA. Flowing flavors with the right amount of bitterness and body without having that over-the-top, tongue blistering assault. Great for a session in front of the fire.

Two Hearted pours a thoroughly opal gamboge, an almost mustard yellow color. The head is thick but lacy, straw-colored, and lasts quite a while, forming a mushroom in the center. The hop aroma is strong enough that you don’t even need to lean in. Supremely floral, strong rose and orange blossoms predominate. Some grapefruit shines through as well. While the flavor is unmistakably bitter, it is not as intense as many American IPAs. Floral hop flavor, light citric fruitiness, and a faint tartness make up the immediate impression. The bitterness comes afterward with the liveliness of the carbonation and a slight sweetness to balance.

I’ve been drinking this beer for years, and it is one of my favorites. Hops and citrus (grapefruit) are what you remember about the taste. I’ve poured so many of these, I just smile thinking about pouring another. Good with all kinds of foods, but lamb chops coated in peanut oil with kosher salt, crushed rosemary and green peppercorns is a must.

On tap at OTH. Pours hazy blonde, thick white head. Aroma is hoppy, fruity and floral. Taste, hoppy with nice grapefruit / citrus notes. Light bitter finish, but overall remains a lot sweeter than the West coast ipa’s.
