We had our homebrew club steering meeting at Fat Jacks, here in Bloomington. They usually have some decent beers on tap, and tonight they had a decent special on little 10oz beers. It was a hot day out, so I thought I’d go for a lager. I hadn’t had the Two Brothers Dog Days before, so I thought I’d try it.
It was a cloudy, straw-yellow color, and there was absolutely no head on it. In fact, it didn’t seem to have much carbonation at all. It didn’t seem to have much aroma to it, but I did notice a bit of a bready, straw-like aroma.
The body was pretty light and the flavor was a bit bready at first. The flavor reminded me a bit of a wheat beer. As I drank it more, I noticed a bit of a buttery flavor coming through as well. The finish had a nice bit of hop bitterness to it.
I think this beer would probably be OK with almost any food, it had a light body with not much flavor to it. I’m thinking it might go best with some flavorful pepperoni pizza. Overall, I was not very impressed with this beer. The flavors were a bit bland, and almost stale. I’m not sure this is one I’ll likely try again.
