Two Brothers Brewing Co. Warrenville, IL
Notes:
American Imperial I.P.A.
8.1% ABV
84.3 IBU
22oz
Appearance:
Pours a nice, transparent orange/brown…mother of pearl head that is full
of tiny bubbles about an inch thick…not long lasting though…(3.75/5)
Smell: Lovely
hops aroma…piney, citrusy (orange or grapefruit maybe), sweet, a bit of
caramel…cascade hops are apparent in this one…very nice, delectable smell…(4.5/5)
Taste: Hoppy
right off the back…Piney, woodsy hop flavor right off the bat and long
lasting…citrus hops does add some nice notes as does the sweeter malt…for all
the hops there isn’t too much bitterness…I do taste the stronger alcohol
content in this one…it’s relatively light (and crisp when it’s coldest) for a
strong IPA…(4.25/5)
Mouthfeel:
Medium body with medium carbonation…hops tingles the outside of my
tongue while the malts flavor the inside…not overly bitter and finishes
relatively smooth…(4/5)
Overall: A very
drinkable beer…IPA’s are my favorite and two brothers is a favorite brewery of
mine, so this is a match made in heaven…a strong IPA, it’s flavor isn’t too
unique or outrageous, but it works well and I’d considered this a success…the
oak age doesn’t dominate the other flavors as I’ve seen in the past and I
appreciate that…it does provide a complementary bit of earthy, woodiness to the
brew…overall, I like it a bunch and would recommend it to anyone hanging out
watching a bit of football on a Saturday afternoon…(4.25/5)
Score:
(4.19/5)
