A Thornbridge classic that we last brewed in 2012. Geminus is a heavy-hitting, Imperial Rye IPA. It’s an alluring amber colour, with a pleasant sweetness and subtle spice from the rye addition. This is balanced by a distinct and powerful hop bill. Selected to complement the malts, with flavours of candied apricot and grapefruit in abundance.

On at at Skaal. Bright amber body, ring of lacing down the glass, covering off-white head. Inviting grapefruit and lemony nose. Similar fruity taste of grapefruit and lemon joined by leafy hops on a backbone of mid-sweet malts. Resinous bitterness to a long tail. Well bodied. Good drinking. (Copenhagen 21.10.2021).

Cask @ BBF 2011. Orange amber color. Oily hops and mandarin curacao in the aroma. Loads of oily hops, rye bread and dried citrusfruit in the flavor. Medium to full bodied. Excellent!

Süß-klebriger Hopfenantrunk, disharmonisch. Der Hopfen beruhigt sich dann etwas und wird angenehmer, das Bier bleibt aber uneinheitlich und nicht sonderlich gelungen. /8/8/9//9

Sampled at Borefts Beer Festival @ De Molen, Bodegraven. Clear orange colored beer without a head. Slight hoppy smell and taste, also mandarin and sweet fruityness. Slightly disappointing for a double IPA. Good carbonation, nice medium body.

Golden colour with a small white head. Aroma is pine, a bunch of tropical fruits, mild floral notes as well as some slight malty notes. Flavour is being rather similar in a very nice balance. Hides the alcohol rather well!
