Evil Twin Hop Flood
On a beautiful summer night in July while peaceful Danes rocked at Roskilde Festival and sipped wine in their picturesque summer retreats, an apocalyptic tidal surge flooded the famous Ølbutikken in Copenhagen and drowned thousands of precious beer – Hop Flood is a bitter tribute to the heroic bottles that didn’t make it.

Pour is a dark brown with a large white head. Aroma is a sweet malt with a faint whiff of hops. I can tell this is going to be malt heavy. Flavor is a dark malt with some dark fruit like a sunmaid raison. There is no date on the bottle so I don’t know how old this is. There is not much hop presence but the malt used has a decent flavor.
Uma experiência interessantíssima essa Hop Flood: é uma cerveja complexa, que muda bastante ao longo do tempo. A recomendação é beber devagar e sentir essas mudanças (no meu caso, especialmente, ela estava um pouco gelada no começo, o que ressaltou ainda mais essas diferenças)
Cerveja marrom escura. creme bege de média duração. O aroma inicial é intenso, de lúpulo fresco, cítrico, com poucas notas do malte, que vão ficando cada vez mais marcantes, com resíduos de caramelado e açúcar mascavo. O sabor é amargo, com forte presença do lúpulo, doce do malte, frutas escuras. O amadurecimento revela uma presença de madeira e deixa o frutado cada vez mais em segundo plano, sobrando só o amargor e adstringência. É uma cerveja de corpo médio pra alto, com sabor marcante e persistente. Complexa, possui baixa drinkabilidade, mas é uma cerveja extrema.
Bottle. The beer has got a deep dark brown colour with a steady head and medium to smooth body. Aroma of hops and rum. Taste of hops, barrel, oak, rum raisins, dried plums, prunes, woods and barley. Smooth finish with rum hints. Highly delicious.
the aroma is caramel and fruity with hints of pine, toffee, resin and spicy herbs... the taste is caramel and spicy with notes of toffee, bisquit, pine needles, dried plum and nuts... sweet, bitter and dry aftertaste...
Bottle at home. Aroma is rich caramel malt, biscuit, hops, pine resin, toffee, ripe fruits, bit toasted. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet and nicely bitter. Long bittersweet finish. Body is above medium. Nicely bittersweet Barley Wine-ish hoppy Amber Ale, good stuff.
Bottle into glass. Pours hazy amber with medium tan head. Aroma is strongly of hops with a long, strongly bitter finish. Probably the most bitter beer I’ve enjoyed to date.
Sweet malt some wood scent and smells of dark fruits. Dark reddish brown color with small off white head bit of lacing. Taste of sweet malts dark dank fruit with super bitter finish. Medium body with light carbonation. Very sticky for elder ale but love the complexity and it’s something different. Nice work.
Bottle shared at a tasting at troubles’s place. Hazy brownish-copper with beige head. Sweetish aroma with notes of dried fruits, caramel and date honey. Bitter flavor with notes of caramel, very hoppy, dried fruits, sweetish, a bit stale. Medium-bodied.
Bottle shared at a tasting. Hazy amber with a big head. Aroma of caramel and fruity hops. Flavor is malty, notes of caramel, some fruitiness, honey, biscuit, bitter finish. Medium-bodied, oily. Probably better when fresh.
Pours dark brown. Aroma hits you in the face with dank hops. Very sweet bouquet. Flavour is full but very full on. Not perfectly balanced. Quite bitter but very enjoyable.
Bottle sample at a tasting at troubles’s place. Thanks zvsn & rayaron. Hazy amber. Aroma of malt, caramel, and stale hops. Sweetish malty flavor, with caramel, a bit of toast, and bitter hops, piney, slightly stale. Medium-bodied.
Bottle 33cl.
@ Zombier, Malaga, Spain.
A: Hazy brown.
T: Malt, caramel, hops, raisins.
Muddy brown color. Sticky White head. Absolutely delicious. An amber ale filled with hops. Best beer I’ve had this last 2 months in China.
June 20th, 2014 - The writers back at Eviltwin’s Brewery are doing top notch work on these labels, setting an environment and attitude for the beer before the head is even pierced by a top lip. And once out, the aroma tumbles forward with all the classic double IPA scents, heavy and sweet, but leaning more towards pine and oak. It is even more robust than many double IPAs in my review archive, and I like it, strong but poised. The flavor is a little less balanced, with a much more bitter approach. The bitterness takes over after a quick puff of sweetness on the front, and stays there, slightly stronger with each sip. I would have preferred a slightly tweaked balance, but for $3.55 I am pleased.
Hops with this beer give only bitterness. I couldn’t find any variety hoppy flavors(I know it’s an amber ale!) It’s too bitter for me though.
pour dark amber with a light offwhite head. caramel, and dark fruit aromas. taste light bitter with sweet notes. light to medium bodied. average carbonation. light bitter finish
Bottled 33cl. Nice copper amber ale, nice white head. Nose is nice, mainly honey / toffee. Texture is dry, bitterness is strong and very astringent, a bit disturbing.
God damn you, Evil Twin. When you said ’Hop Flood’, I didn’t realise you were going to be so fucking literal about it. I left a third of the bottle on the kitchen bench. And it’s good beer! So that’s a third of a good thing I missed out on, which at Australian prices is enough to buy a house (not in Australia, obviously - somewhere else). Anyway: the beer. Looks good (the stuff in the glass, not the stuff on the bench - that looked sad). Murky brown, great length on the head. Lots of brown sugars in the nose, plus some Pacific hops. Lovely thick palate. Chewy toffee notes, raisins, some alcohol burn and lip-smacking hoppiness. This might be about the best example (albeit hugely atypical) of a beer style that usually leaves me cold. Here’s to Double Ambers, hold the sugar. (330ml bottle from Leura Cellars, May 2016)
Bottle. Amber with copper color, yellowish foam. Good aroma: rich malt, honey nectar, floral, dried fruit, raisins. Taste: honeyed nectar, pleasant bitter hops, fruit and raisins, very good.

Brown colour, off white head. Aroma of caramel, toffee and strawberries. Taste is light to medium sweet and medium bitter. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation.
From bottle. Murky amber color with a small yellowish head and lots of sediment. Aroma and taste of hops, caramel, toffee, and more hops. Taste is complex with a good amount of sweetness that is overbalanced by the bitter qualities of the hops. Medium full body.
Bottle from Perfect Pour. Nice dark amber body with little head. Nose is barley, roasty, sweet. Taste is nice and malty and spicy and toasty and milky up front, warms up a bit and nice maltier, almost chocolate finish. Really good stuff. A flood of hops!
Bottle. Hazy amber color with a thick foamy off-white head. Aroma of resin, grapefruit and pine. Bitter taste with some sweetness. Medium body.

7%ABV. Amber Ale.
Poured out brown Amber. 18ºSRM.

Mouthfeel is soapy. There is good carbonation. Palate has sweet roasted malt, nuts, burnt caramel. Hops are vegetal, bitter, flowery, spicy with hyssop-like minty bitter, there is taragon-like flavor and aroma on the palate.
Finish is medium and bitter.
Good beer.
Bottle at Schouskjelleren, january 24st 2015. Amber body with a small beige head. Aroma of old hops and cardboard. Taste is grassy, toffee, with a harsh bitter finish.
Bottle 33 cl from Amstein - St-Légier (CH). Reddish brown amber with an average beige head. Appetizing aromas of caramel, citrusy hop, earthy with herbs and pepper. The taste is dry, spicy, peppery with roasted, herbs and burnt toffy. The hop stands out in a dry finale with accents of blood orange, earth and plants. Disappointent, masculine and rough beer without feminine side.
Mild earthy spice and pine aroma. Hazy cinnamon brown body with a some sediment floating around. Topped with an off-white head that likes to linger. Bold bitter start but has a light clean finish. Has light toasted malt quality. Decent balanced brew.
Long and hoppy after taste. Lovely colour. After taste better than initial taste. Very good aroma
Dont know what to think of this.
Nice hoppy amber ale, floral, citrus, herbs, earthy, grass, spruce,
