Hipster Ale

Brewery: Evil Twin Brewing
Supplier: Beer52

Evil Twin Brewing is another gypsy brewer, just like his twin who started Mikkeller, except this twin is based in both the USA and Denmark. This is their Pale ale made in the Two Roads Brewing Co. I served this chilled.
Appearance: Thick slightly-off-white head that lasts for quite a while. A large stream of 
Aroma: Lots of hop resin notes with a hint of acidic malt in the back. 
Flavour: Hop resin notes in the front followed by a sweet mix of citrus hops and malt. 
Body: Refreshing but not light, and nicely carbonated. It becomes a bit dry at the back
Aftertaste: A hoppy bitterness that grows, almost becoming too much, there is a little hint of soapy hops though that goes but bites back. 

Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 4, nice but a standard hoppy pale note, well executed apart from that soapy note at the end. Not as good as his brothers ones so far.

Price Range: Part of the box of 10 I got for £14 (usually £29), so it works out at £1.40 for a 330ml can, a good price for a nice beer.

Food Pairings: Probably a lot of things, mainly things with cheese; because I have a craving for them I would say Jalapeño poppers.
