This blood-red ale may not be what you might 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.

Can from Brewers Haven. Deep mahogany color, one finger fluffy beige head. Aroma us malts, dark, roasty, burnt toast. Taste us dry and dusty, leaves, tobacco, earthy. Malts at its very core. Not too strong for a strong ale, but damn tasty.

On tap at Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Dark red color, nearly black. Moderate and creamy beige head. Hoppy aroma with notes of grapefruit, pine, herbs and spices, also notes of lightly roasted malts. The rich and medium dry flavour is malty first, immediately followed by piney, spicy and grapefruity hops. Ends in a nice bitterness.

A - 4.0 Thin head, ruby-ish color under light
N- 3.7 sweet drive-by, not too hoppy, fermented scent, smell like wort; some pineapple, some floral, subtle hop scent
T- 4.5 Creamy, not bitter taste. Roasted malt, toast, easy to drink. Complicated body, more tart than crisp.
F- 3.0 Not too much after taste, a little disappointed. Some lemon/citrus after taste, but was gone too soon.
Overall - 3.5
