Brothers from Another Mother
Two Ton Brewing

 

Reviewed three days after release. Poured into a snulip glass. It pours an opaque, turbid orange-brown color with a thin, creamy milk-white head and extensive, soapy lacing. Its fruity, aromatic nose features lemon, tangerine, pineapple, ripe honeydew melon, onion, and floral hops. It's dryer and less sweet than the smell would indicate, opening with bitter lemon peel and resinous pine. However, at the glass warms it bit I'm tasting more of the advertised fruit, including some berry It's nicely dank. The bill of Citra, Centennial, and Mosaic adds fruitiness and bitterness but without a strong bite. There is also a slight biscuit taste. It finishes decidedly bitter. The feel is moderately creamy with pleasant carbonation, and at 7% ABV it's an easy drinker. Overall, my initial reaction was that the taste was not what I expected. However, as I sipped it it grew on me. Brothers from Another Mother is neither a bitter hop bomb nor overly fruity; it's well balanced and enjoyable. I'm glad Two Ton canned it and it's nice to see them collaborating with a well-regarded brewer outside of New Jersey.
