Two Brothers Cane and Ebel

Two Brothers Cane and Ebel

Cane and Ebel is one of a series of special limited-run beers in styles that are more extreme or unusual. This unique red rye beer is full of hop flavor and aroma. We add 35 pounds of Thai palm sugar to each batch. The sugar does not add much sweetness to the beer, but rather a fruity and vanilla-like flavor. A new hop variety called Summit is really showcased here. This 18%AA hop is also very aromatic which gives a pungent citrus aroma. Then we heavily dry hopped the beer with Simcoe.

4.5 Really good stuff Maynard. Nice hope and rye malt aroma. caramel. Flavor’s slightly on the dry side. Good flavor those there’s a brief flash of medicine. Great drinking.
4.1 Poured a reddish brown with an off white head. Flavors of bread, malt, rye and light pine. Nicely balanced. Very good. Definitely buy again.
3.5 Pours a clear reddish amber color with off-white head. Floral notes, some caramel, and some roast on the nose; follows onto the palate. Medium bodied. Finishes with some caramel sweetness and a little bite from the hops. Not bad.
2.9 Refrigerated 12 oz. brown bottle poured into a glass. Clear Amber with no head. Aroma is herbal hops, medium body, low carbonation, and very little lacing. Taste is caramel rye malt and herbal hops.
3.4 Pours a deep clear amber / ruby with an off white head. Aroma is light rye, spices, pine, bread, light sweet malt. Flavor is spicy rye, pine sap, light sweet, light pepper. Medium body, fairly bitter with lingering dry spice.
3.5 bottle @ Jungle Jim’s / Eastgate OH --- Clear ruby brown color, off-white head, lace cobwebs. Aroma of malt. Taste is malt and rye that rotate with citrus hops on an even-steven basis all the way through a medium finish. This is a rye dominant brew that is well done.
3.6 Bottle@ABC the Tavern. Medium aroma with resin and slight hopps. Brown color and small natural white head. Semi-hazy liquid. Medium/strong taste with slightly sour raisins, sweet bit roasted malts. Balanced with medium/long aftertaste with hoppy malty raisins. Medium/light body with medium carbonation. Overall high quality balanced product.
3.7 12 oz bottle pours amber with a off white head. Aroma of fruit, malts and citrus. Taste is vanilla, fruit and citrus.
3.3 Tap. Pours a very dark red tinted amber with an off white head. Smells of tropical fruit, passion fruit, a touch of sweetness. Taste is somewhat sweet with a touch of rye spice. A moderate bitterness. To me, it is all coming across as a bit messy. The sweetness and the bitterness linger in the finish. Average carbonation, medium to medium+ bodied.
3.5 On draft. Ruby amber color with off white head. Malty and fruity (lemon, pineapple) aroma. Taste has caramel, vanilla, some pine. Pretty good.
4.2 Outstanding red ale. Probably the best red ale or among the best I tasted. From bottle. Pours gorgeous clear ruby red with small head. Aroma of citrus, pine, lemon, caramel and maybe pineapple? Bottle says IBU 68 but not that bitter at all. Instead citrus lemony taste with some well balanced malt. Some more bitter aftertaste. But still an excellent red ale.
4.0 Bottle. Pours a ruby-Amber color with a foamy tan head and ample lacing. Aroma of malt, rye, fresh grain and light citrus. Taste of malt, rye, bit of citrus and spice. Mild bitterness with a clean finish. Medium body, smooth with a malty richness. Nice grainy texture for a well rounded beer.
4.2 On tap. Pours clear red with tan head. Aroma is fruity and malty. Nice rye taste nicely balanced with hops and sweet malt. Really enjoyed this beer.
3.9 12oz bottle. Appearance: deep reddish Amber brown, clear, with a frothy khaki head. Aroma: Strong punch of lemon and grapefruit hop notes, with a bit of peppery rye. Taste: Bready, toasty, peppery malt flavored, leading into a sharp resinous, earthy, and tart grapefruit hop flavor. Seems like a hint of roast, but could be the rye Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. A little sticky. Finish: Leaves a hint of rye but mainly a resinous strong hop bitterness that lingers long past the swallow. Overall: Strong malt base with layers of flavor, but this definitely leans hoppy on overall balance. A pretty easy drinking beer considering the complexity of all the malt/hops. Nothing out of whack. It’s a good one.
4.0 Pours clear red with decent light tan head. Aroma is sweet and fruity. Great malty rye taste with a nice balancing bitterness.
3.3 Draft. Clear ruby light brownish amber. Creamy off white head. Fairly sweet. Mild bitter. Some rye flavor but not much spicy. Little tang. Maybe I just missed the boat on this one.. Enjoyable enough, but just ok.
3.8 Big citrus and rye aroma, taste is a little more mild, older bottle, nice stuff
3.3 Bottle. REd-orange color. Spicy nose, cherries, caramel. Oranges. Sweet caramel malts, lightly spicy rye. Silky, smooth body. Ok stuff.
3.6 Pours a clear ruby-copper with an average size off-white head. Hoppy aroma well balanced with caramel malt along with some hints of rye. Tastes of citrus and hops along with rye malt and a nice bitter finish. Medium bodied.

3.9 Gave it a 4 back in the day, so it must be one still. Had in the bottle. Sorry, Just updating an app so I know if I had something at least once.
3.5 Tap at Republic. Solid malty nose, some interesting hoppiness (can’t identify it), and rye. Reddish/amber color. Rich caramelly initial, some tar-like note, light peppery rye, crushed weeds, and a light sweet finish. Medium body. Malty stuff. The rye notes are quite mild.
3.8 Bottle. Dark red-amber body. Spicy rye and hop aroma. Well-hopped flavor with more rye character. Alcohol hardly evident. Really tasty.
3.5 On tap. Copper color with an average off-white head. Aroma is of light grass, light citrus, grain, an light honey. Taste is of honey, grain, vanilla, light citrus, toast, and a hint of star fruit.
4.1 Smells great, tastes better. Light on the IPA side of things. Reminds me of Hopaluia that is brewed in my area. Highly recommended.
3.7 American rye, sweet like an imperial up front, light rye aftertaste, dark amber color, has an oak flavor which blends nice with hops.
3.9 Little spice, mostly rye, solid red. Short review. Drinking with my sweetie.
4.2 Good aroma, but something isn’t right? Then, you drink it and the rye flavor is spectacular.
4.2 Impressive exotic beer. Wonderful spent grainy, barley, sugar, nutty aroma with rye notes as well. Smooth body and not fizzy. Very sweet but not artificially so. Nutty, rather malty flavor with a little rye bite. Nice unusual drink.
4.1 Rated based on notes taken 22 Feb 2012 -- Drank in Dayton, OH. A very good rye beer. Would like to drink again for sure.
