This blood-red ale may not be what you expect from a malty and hoppy craft beer. Evil Twin has a rich malt character, without being overly sweet. It has a huge hop character, without being overly bitter. It is a great example of a bold, rich, balanced craft beer, without being heavy and hard to drink in quantity. Our Evil Twin is only bad because it is too good to resist.

Hazy deep amber beer, small pale tan head. Palate is light and crispy. Light smooth malts. with thin cream a nice mellow dark toffee streak. Develops more light cream. Hops are a nice mix of pine, very mild skunk and light ripe orange. Touch of marmalade. Mild bitterness before a smooth semi dry finish. Comes together well. Very drinkable.

Part of the 1000 at AQ Bevolution’s Event at Kamikaze 6.8% A reddish brown color with a floral pine needle aroma that has a certain sweetness to it. A very quaffable bitter piney beer but I don’t get much from the Malts beyond some biscuity qualities. Still very very nice.

Pours brown with a large head.Nose shows herbal, spicy and piny hops along with some biscuity malt and a minty note.Very similar flavours: herbal, minty and piny hops alongside some toasty malt hidden underneath followed by a sharp, aggressive bitterness.Carbonation is a little over the top.

Small beige head. Hazy brown body. Roasty dried fruity aroma with resiny notes. Dry-sweet wooden spicy taste with caramelly dandelion notes. Mid-bodied. Sharpish mealy mouthfeel. Dry-bitter dandelion and roasty caramel aftertaste with herbal notes. A bit sharp and bitter. (0.65l bottle, shared by gr0ve.)
