American Solera Handsome Brothers Beer Review
Upon scouring the vast universe of craft beers, a standout product from American Solera, notably the Handsome Brothers blend, caught my attention. This double-dry-hopped session pale ale is generously endowed with Citra Cryo and Sabro Cryo, which are sure to pique the interest of any beer enthusiast.
Aroma: 12/20
Right off the bat, you’ll notice the brew’s remarkable blend of funky fruit. The ripened melon and watermelon scents spring up from the bottle with such vividness that it mesmerizes the olfactory senses. Edging away from the typical, it’s a refreshing change in the aroma spectrum of beers that’ll trigger curiosity amongst prospective tasters.
Appearance: 2/5
While the aroma steals the limelight, the appearance, though neutral, doesn’t add much to the overall appeal. That said, one must bear in mind that this element is seldom of significance among beer enthusiasts. Quaintly simple, it’s an exercise in minimalism that remains non-distracting.
Flavor: 19/25
Moving on to the true determinant of a good beer – the flavor. American Solera’s blend showcases an uncompromisingly vibrant and complex hop buildup. Bursting forth with flavors of melon, grapefruit, and orange, this brew balances bitterness and sweetness with finesse. It even goes as far as to entertain a slight hop burn, ending with soft pillow-like malt notes that fascinates the palate.
Mouthfeel: 4/5
The first sip brings forth a uniquely bright, sour orange feel that stays back and progressively melds with the beer’s well-balanced profile. As the flavor progresses, it brings about complexities that keep building on your every sip. As it engulfs the palate, the sourness gradually treads into a pleasant bitterness.
The Concluding Thought
Our editors noted, with the mixture of dank weed layers commingling with the grapefruit and orange zest, it adds a deeper dimension to the brew. Upholding the aromatic essence, it doesn’t lose its quirky and characterful traits, instead, manages to blend everything seamlessly. It’s a hairline heavier than your standard beers, but that’s just to balance out the intense flavors it houses.
In conclusion, the Handsome Brothers beer from American Solera is not just about a fancy name. It brings with it nuances and depth that one can only derive from meticulously put-together aromatics and taste elements. With a high score of 93/100, this beer manifests a distinct character and complexity that sets it apart from many on the market. It’s offbeat, it’s enjoyed chilled, and it’s everything we look for in a beer that pampers the senses while having a good time!
