Strictly sour and vegetal in aroma, this turbo charged, oaked-up (in French Foudre oak tanks) version of Two Brothers seasonal IPA 'Heavy Handed,' blossoms on initial sip with a beautiful biscuity sweetness before a shower of hop pepperiness begins softly raining down on the taste buds. Warm and full, hop bite builds evenly until optimum and seasoned bitterness peaks with a most satisfying and surprisingly smooth finish. Lacking a lot of the prickly pear, Pine-Sol edge common in big IPA's, this should please the tongues of hopheads and imperial strength India Pale Ale newbies alike.
