2020 Recap
Evil Twin Brewing

From notes: I would say it is similar to a hazy india pale ale, that's what I would have guessed without reading the can. I think it is pretty good unlike the year it celebrates.

Look: yellow with a thick fluffy white head

Aroma: citrus, grapefruit

Flavor: citrus, mango, grapefruit, a grapefruit rind like bitterness at the end.

Body/Overall: light to medium body, overall delicious.

 

Pours a hazy orange color. A moderate head retains well and yields a film and lacing.

In the nose, stone fruit stand out in particular, with notes of peach juice, apricot and nectarine. There are also aromas of honey malt, a touch of grass and resin and bright citrus fruit.

A sturdy honey and graham cracker malt backbone gives way to fruity and lightly resiny hops flavors. Notes of peach, apricot, orange, pine, grass and peppery hops. Well balanced with a firm bitterness but solid malt character. The finish is semi dry, somewhat crisp, and with flavors of fruity and spicy hops.

Medium bodied with a mouthfeel that is both smooth and semi crisp. The carbonation is moderate.

Nice Pale Ale. It is juicy and balanced. The quality of this beer exceeds the quality of the year 2020.

 

 

Poured into a glass, its a brilliant straw/golden, thick and opaque. Smells a bit grassy, with a mild sour tinge. Well-hopped but incredibly smooth. Slight taste of citrus, its billed as an APA but has a bit of a HIPA taste. Balanced, light-bodied and 5%, its easy drinking but maybe a bit pricey at 20 bucks a 4pack.

 

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a one pint can on October 24, 2020.
