Brewed By:
Two Brothers
Self-Defined Style:
Hopped-up Red Rye Ale This unique red rye beer is full of hop flavor and aroma. We add 70 pounds of Thai palm sugar to each batch. The sugar does not add much sweetness to the beer, but rather a fruity and vanilla-like flavor. A new hop variety call Summit is really showcased here. This 18% alpha hop is also very aromatic which gives a pungent citrus aroma. Then we heavily dryhopped the beer with Simcoe. Original, yes and that is no sin.
Comments
I have found that Two Brothers uses a heavy malt in most of their beers which has it's place but it doesn't work for me in this beer. the heavy malt with the strong lingering hop flavor is to much. not a fan of this one.
