Before, During and After Christmas IPA
Evil Twin Brewing

Pours a golden hazy color with a good size head and a lot of sediment in the glass. Aroma & taste are similar with a strong citrus zest & some sweetness. Well blended beer. Easy drinking for an 8%. 12-17-2025

Poured a cloudy, orange body with great head and lace sheath down the glass. The aroma has notes that are beautifully citric and floral and they boom (pop). Smooth, clean, bursting with fluffy floral sweetness with notes of citric zip along with hints of caramel. This beer is light and easy as well as tasty and not bitter, and the aftertaste has no real booziness but I swear I get notes of fruits like peach or pear with skin on the backbite.

 

A solid Imperial. Hazy citrus gold on the pour with a thick white head and lots of lace. Aroma is sweet orange and mango with a hoppy twist. Taste follows. Not boozy but it's a sipper. Very enjoyable Christmas brew that my son bought for me. I will be looking for it again.

 

What says Christmas more than a piney IPA, a Hazy piney IPA. Cloudy orange in color with a white head. Lots of citrus fruits come through on the nose. Nice grapefruit and mango and orange come through on taste.

 

 

Made for really any time of the year, why not hazy things up for the holidays? Since IPA has no season, Evil Twin has a hazy hop bomb for before, during and after Christmas.

Avoiding any cease and diciest letters, Before During & After Christmas IPA pours a hazy but off-turbid glow of gold and straw. As a frothy blanket of foam mounts the rim, a burst of tropical fruit, citrus and grassy herbs roll onto the nose. Sweeter and tightly woven cereal flavors coat the tongue with suggestions of honey, shortcake and agave.

Unlike most hazy ale, the taste instantly begins to dry and to allow the hops to blossom on the middle palate. A racy taste of orange zest, white grapefruit and lemon bring a hoppy pop on the tastebuds while a more juicy taste of pineapple, passionfruit and kiwi bring a more tropical tanginess. All leading to a surprisingly bitter, but smooth finish of green tea, peppery pine, verbena, sassafras and hemp.

Medium bodied and trending dry, the session is more bitter than sweet and more crisp than malty to give the bitter beer fans something to cheer about this holiday season.

 

Nice holiday hazy dipa from Evil Twin. Smooth and juicy with very little bitterness and no obvious alcohol presence despite the 8% abv. This is very different from the darker, winter warmer known as "Before, During and After Christmas Beer" brewed several years ago.
