Evil Twin Brewing Molotov Cocktail

Aroma: “Pine and lemon and orange citrus with notes of grapefruit followed by caramel and honey malt sweetness. This has a pretty unique aroma.”

Flavor: “Strong notes of pine, orange peel, and citrus followed by a pronounced caramel malt sweetness. Hops are more an undertone of the sweetness. Finishes dry but has a lingering sweet taste. It has that maltiness that overpowers the hops and is closer to a barleywine than an IPA.”

Overall: “Unique and original—it’s an out-there IPA, and a unique take on the style. Nice complex hops profile that needs to be dialed up to match malt sweetness.”
