In the beginning, there was an innovative West Coast brewer by the name of Pete, who developed a wicked-good and ground-breaking American ale. This super-tasty beer boasted Brewer’s Gold hops used for dry-hopping and an abundance of specialty malt, which gave it a great character unlike any other beer available. It quickly gained a loyal following among beer lovers, and became known the world-over as the defacto-standard American Brown Ale. Pete is no stranger to the Akron area, having made his Cocoa-Pete’s Chocolates in North Canton and where we first connected. So now, Hoppin’ Frog along with this creative brewing icon have developed Re-Pete 2X as a double version of the original, to pay homage to the innovative energy of American brewers, and deliver a great beer to TRUE BEER LOVERS!

Aromas are malty, nutty a bit roasty and hint of fruits. Aromaz are somewhat similar to Noah's but emphasized the fruits more than the malts and it's not as pleasant. I prefer a more traditional style brown ale and not really a fan of the American Style so I'm a little prejudiced here nevertheless that's what I like.

200ml draught, shared with Finn at Man in The Moon. Deep dark ruby-reddish body. Filmy layer at the top, spotty lacing on the glass. Dried fruity aroma, sweet. Honeyed sweet malty flavours joined by dried fruits, sugar and earth. Sweet malt-fruity ending. Well bodied. Way too sweet in the long run. (Stockholm 17.01.2018).

On tap at Zeezicht, Breda, Netherlands, Tuesday 26th September 2017.we are here as well and the food was very decent. Pours conker brown with a slight haze and with a rim of beige bubbles atop. Amazed that this seemed not quite the beer I expected, lots of malt on the nose, but huge hoppy hit in the mouth, plenty of warmth from the abv, this is a lovely beer. I love this for completely altering my expectations, it wasn’t the beer I assumed it would be but it was fab nonetheless. A7 A4 T9 P5 Ov16 4.1
