Brother was the first beer we developed in our Imperial Series and is inspired by our desire to thank Brothers everywhere. Without our Brothers, we would have taken the blame for everything as children, wouldn’t have known the inside of an ambulance, and never understood the true fear a good ghost story can cause a young child. This Brother is appropriately big, intimidating, and unbalanced with unrestrained quantities of hops for a head slap of beery ferociousness. Go ahead, Hook a Brother Up...Because Brothers Matter!

Down & Dirty: 2-Row Pale, White Wheat, and Vienna malts with Centennial, Chinook, and Citra® hops with Amarillo® extract.

ABV: 8.5% IBU: 1 Billion

355ml can. As Fremont Brother. Pours a slightly hazy gold-amber with a medium, foamy, long lasting, white head that laces. Sweet fruity aroma of wheat malt, grapefruit, pineapple and piney hops. Sweet flavour of caramel malt, wheat, grapefruit rind, orange, mango, pineapple and pine resin in a dry, bitter grass finish. Medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation.

From can to glass. Pours a clear light gold with full white head and moderate patterns. Overt orange and citrus aroma. Flavor is more muted, with moderate bitterness and solid wheat malt backing.

Golden color. Loose rocky head. Very resinous nose with tons of pine and citrus character with big biscuity malt presence. Drinks lighter than 8.5%very resiny palate with tons of pine, citrus, caramel and buscuit character. Super drinkable. Modestly aggressive bitterness. Alcohol well hidden. Very nice stuff. Love the sisters more but this is great

Light amber, just a touch of haze, no head. Strong, sticky, lots of citrusy hop...lots of malt, lots of bitterness but remains drinkable.

Bomber. Pours a clear orange color with a medium white head. A nice soft but big citrus nose. Very smooth, this is so damn smooth it is like a pale ale not a 8.5% IIPA. Huge citrus, light resin, sugary candies, medium sweet husky malts. Very nice. Man, Fremont is killing it lately.
