Craft Beer Monday Review: Two Brothers Atom Smasher

On Tap at Sheffields, this was an easy decision for me since I have always been a fan of the Oktoberfests, and Two Brothers was my first foray into Chicagoland craft beers (thanks Bingo, Steve A).

Uniquely flavored, Atom Smasher is a welcome addition to the Two Brothers lineup since they usually delve into heavily hopped ales and only produce lagers on a seasonal basis, and don't really promote them too much, if you ask me. In fact, I am including the link from Ratebeer, since TB doesn't have it on their website even.

Tasting: Cloudy amber with some orange colors swirling and with a beige head that disappears quickly, this was reflective of the Oktoberfest lagers I have been accustomed to except for a couple flavors I wasn't expecting: citrusy early and a hint of sourness at the finish. I think I will try it again in the bottle to make sure.

CBC Rating: 4.
