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.

Bottle, 22oz. A more or less clear one, copper-colored and topped by a dense, off-white head of moderate size. Quite hoppy nose, some fruity sourness blending in, and a faint touch of sweetish malts. Pine cones too. Rather bitter on the palate, full-bodied and with a pleasant carbonation. Lemon peel, pine cones and a malty sweetness in the flavor, as well as some fruity sourness. Lasting finish with lots of bitterness, a good dash of fruityness, some peaches, and sweetness. A quite pleasant one, although a bit over the top. 120817

Bottle - Sweet molasses from the malts with some flowery hops in the background. Small head and cloudy brown hue. Citrus hops throughout with a bitterness to match. Some malt notes lurking in the back, but not too pronounced. Will definitely try again.

On tap at Gourmet Haus. Great citrus and cotton candy aroma. Hazy olde orange with an off-white head of large bubbles and clinging to glass. Full malt and spice collide. Medium-full mouthfeel. Bitter finish lingers long.
