Resistance (Two Brothers)

This IPA was brewed by a brewery in Warrenville, IL. I had this on tap at Beer Geeks. Not only had I not realized that Two Brothers was local-ish, but I did not realize that this beer was brewed using their special "J Series" method. The beers in that series are aged in French oak foudres for at least 4 weeks to authentically oak the brews.

General Thoughts
Look and Smell: This gold-colored IPA had a white frothy head that clung to the glass. It was clear. It smelled nice and hoppy, as a good IPA should.

Taste: The earthy hops came through nice and smooth. It had some acid to it. I thought it was very good. A chill-inducing hoppy beer.

From the Two Brothers site:
The first beer we brewed for the J series, Resistance is aged a minimum of four weeks in our oak foudres. Complex aromas of oak, honeyed malt sweetness, and piney citrus hops leads to a full hoppy middle and a finish that's crisp, oaky, and pleasantly lingering. Why, oh why did we resist the subtle allure of IPA so long?
