Description
It all started with a neighbor sharing a homemade beer. Liz saw how excited Jamil was and bought him a Mr. Beer kit for Christmas. Jamil became obsessed with brewing the perfect beer and became a homebrew legend in the process by winning a first-place medal in every known beer, mead, and cider style category. Eventually, his passion to brew was too strong and Jamil and Liz decided to take the plunge and open Heretic Brewing Company.
We started by sharing a building with another brewery in 2011, but we always brewed our beer ourselves. Within the first six months we realized there wasn’t enough space for two breweries in one building, so we began the search for a new place. By 2013, we had built a new, modern brewery in the wonderful city of Fairfield, California and moved all our operations there, including our new distillery.

Quel dommage que cette Evil Twin, IPA possédant de bonnes qualités et attrayante jusqu'à la seconde bouche s'écrase totalement sur le final, laissant un goût d'inachevé et surtout une frustration certaine. Mais jusqu'au final, c'est un beau récital qui nous est offert avec une amertume racée, bien dosée avec 45 d'IBU et bien accompagnée par une base maltée appréciable. L'alcool à 6,8 % est également consistant et permet de bien soutenir la structure jusqu'au final bien entendu. Les arômes sont également appréciables avec un résineux et un côté herbacé développés, du pamplemousse, de la pêche, de la mangue relevés par une pointe poivrée. La robe brun acajou est également très belle, limpide, parcourue par de très fines bulles et recouvert d'une mousse blanc cassé de 3 mm. On retrouve le cocktail décrit précédemment au nez sur un joli houblon. A la dégustation, on découvre une belle amertume, racée, mais sans être agressive. L'équilibre malt/houblon est bien pensé sur une belle harmonie. La présence en bouche est même très bonne en seconde bouche, alors que l’arrière-bouche, sur une amertume élancée, herbacée avec résineux et pamplemousse donne un beau contraste. Et alors que l'on attend un final brillant…plus rien. ! Frustrant.

Can sourced from Beer Republic - orange hazy colour with a white covering. Fresh fruity with notes of mango, grapefruit, pineapple, splash of lemon, soft semi sweet malty support, medium body, juicy fruity and robust hoppy into the close. Tasty.

Deep purple brown color. An odd sour and slight sweet nose of elderberries, bourbon, iodine and oak. Modestly tart with bourbon really pronounced against tartness and oak. It goes in a few too many directions. Unique. I like but can’t love. Too many things competing

16 oz. Aroma is smoked cherries, almonds, soy sauce, chocolate, red wine vinegar, wood. Pours very dark brown to black with a one+ finger beige head with decent retention. Taste is sweet, tart, and smoky with flavors like the aroma. Nice velvety mouthfeel. This is weird stuff. At first, I wasn't sure I liked it, but I keep taking sip after sip, so that must be a good thing. It's kind of fascinating.
