Two Brothers’ longtime flagship beer is a stylistic recreation of the often overlooked bière de garde style (a French farmhouse ale style) and the name pays tribute to the Illinois county that the brewery calls home (named after the river of the same name, DuPage, after the French trader who settled there in the 18th century). This classic has won a slew of awards including Gold at the GABF in 2016 and at the World Beer Cup in 2014. Domaine...

This brew is a rework of O’so’s previous GABF Gold medal winning wheat ale, The Big O. Why revise a gold medal winner? When the opportunity for improvement presents itself, why not take it? The brewers at O’so now brew this beer with Voss Kveik yeast, an intriguing Norwegian strain known for producing a good deal of orangey citrus esters, particularly at high fermentation temps. The Big 2.0 presents a bright golden orange color with a crop...

Two Brothers has jumped into the gluten-reduced beer space with their Prairie Path golden ale – which is brewed as a normal beer and then treated with enzymes that break down the gluten. We like these types of beers, as we would never know it was gluten reduced if we weren’t told. Prairie Path pours a richly golden, lightly coppery color with good clarity and a plentiful head of off-white foam. In the aroma, we get some lightly toasty malt...

- Serving Temperature: 43-48º F
- Suggested Glassware: IPA Glass, Pint Glass
- Hops: Summit, Cascade
- Malts: 2-Row, Munich
- Country: United States
This pale ale presents a medium copper-amber color topped by a fluffy and very persistent head of foam that laces nicely as it recedes. On the nose, look for a fairly complex array of aromas; we picked up plenty of herbal and piney notes melded to floral tones and a prominent variety of fruity notes including candied citrus, apricot-like stone fruits, and even some berry hints. Flavorwise, there's a fairly robust malt core offering a...

- Country: United States
Pinball presents a bright golden hue with good clarity beneath a robust cap of bone-colored foam. We really enjoyed how nicely fruity this dry-hopped pale ale is in the aroma department, with big stone fruit notes breaking toward apricot and peach, along with tropical fruits and a touch of tangerine-like citrus. Look for it to come through deliciously fruity on the palate too, with the softer tropical and stone fruit notes balanced by the...

Introduced in 2021, Amplifier has been a hit, becoming a year-round offering – and after sampling it, it’s easy to see why. Pouring a golden orange color that’s lightly hazy, and topped by a cap of light beige foam, Amplifier looks good in our glass as it offers up its inviting aroma. Look for a bold and complex fruitiness boasting luscious tropical fruits and candied citrus at the forefront, backed up by more subtle touches of stone...

- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 32
- Serving Temperature: 40-45° F
- Suggested Glassware: Pilsner Glass, Flute
- Hops: Hallertau, Tettnang
- Country: Germany
Tannenzäpfle (“pine cones”) pilsner has a bit of a cult following among many beer lovers in Germany, and after sampling it it’s easy for us to see why. Pouring a bright golden-straw color with crystal clarity and a cap of just-off-white foam, it looks inviting in the glass, but it’s the aroma that really drew us in. It’s got the classic German pilsner notes: an underlying base of pale malt overlaid with brightly earthy, grassy, and...

- Country: Belgium
Brasserie Dubuisson's Scaldis Caractère is a strong Belgian amber ale with a rich and complex profile, known for its moderately high alcohol content (12% ABV) and deep, malty flavors. The Caractère pours a deep amber to copper hue with a slight reddish tint. The color is indicative of its malt-forward nature. It has a clear body with good carbonation, producing a thick, creamy, off-white head that dissipates slowly, leaving a distinct lacing...
- Bottle Size: 750-ml

- ABV: 10.5%
- Serving Temperature: 52–58° F

The Dubuisson Scaldis Tripel is a strong Belgian golden ale that offers a complex and rich tasting experience. It pours a deep golden color with a slight amber hue. As it is poured, it forms a thick, creamy white head with excellent retention, leaving fine lacing on the glass. The nose is fragrant and inviting, with prominent fruity notes of ripe apples, pears, and bananas. We also detect subtle floral hints, alongside a gentle spiciness...
