Double Two Hearted Ale

LOL that is a pretty sight.

 

Very interested to try this one!

 

The can version of Two Hearted have been pretty consistent too.

 

Is this going to full distro?

 

Nice! Thanks for the update. I was kicking tires in my local today, asked about this, and they looked at me like I had 3 heads.

 

I'd say, yes, because there is a video on the Bell's Instagram site showing rows of stacked pallets seemingly loaded with this beer.

 

I'm really, really looking forward to popping my first bottle!

 

Look forward to this one

 

I can't wait to try this!

 

It's a chilly, rainy day in the Kzoo area to keep down the crowd at mid-afternoon on a Monday, but the beer was going out the door at the General Store fairly quickly. A constant line of 10-12 people was inside the store, and most were buying the one-case limit. I bought only a sixer for $18.75 out the door (includes tax and dep).

 

Super interested to hear what people think of this in bottles.

 

Tried this a few years ago on tap and remember it being really (strangley) sweet and umami forward. I love big boozey IPAs, but that one was a big miss for me. Wonder what they've done with the recipe and process since for this new release.

 

So yeah it will be pretty pricey in my area too then I am sure. Can't wait to hear your take on it!

 

Seems it will have the same pricing here at Binny's as Hopslam - $16.99. Looking forward to trying it.

 

Sold out at the general store. 420 cases with a case limit didn’t last the day yesterday. Guess I will have to chance local distribution. Don’t know if it the local Kalamazoo stores yet.

 

Stopped at a few local kzoo stores. Looks like it arrives Friday with low limits.

 

I was hoping for an intense Two Hearted taste character in the beer, and that's what I got. However, maybe it's a little too intense for my tastes.

Most times when I drink a DIPA I get a muddled hops flavor, but this beer has a pure Centennial bomb. I usually also get some sweetness in the taste of most DIPAs for some reason, and I got it in this beer. Also, the 11% abv is not 'hot' but was noticeable on the back of my tongue.

But it is a beer that I'd buy again.

 

My fear with these big beers is that they are usually too sweet for my taste. 11% abv takes a lot of malt to buffer the hops, I’m looking forward to trying it, but I’m thinking it’s going to be too sweet.

 

My point of reference is Hopslam. How does it compare? I don't like too much of sweetness, when you say it's "a pure Centennial bomb" I'm hooked.

 

Not a Hopslam fan at all, and I’m thinking this one is a tad bigger and it’s will follow suite.
