COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The very intense, complex aromatic character with a refreshing, crisp finish is achieved by dry hopping. The fruity, citrusy aroma is a nice complement with grilled prawns and spicy foods.

GuilTTy (686) - Cherry Hill, New Jersey, USA - FEB 22, 2009
Bomber from BevMo in Scottsdale. Clear light amber pour and small white head with a little lacing. Fresh pine and spruce aroma. Mild citrus and biscuity flavor with notes that reminded me of their Winter Ale. Mouthfeel a bit on the thin side. Dry snappy finish. Not your everyday IPA and worth a try if you can get your glass on one.

nqualls (1452) - Nashville, Tennessee, USA - FEB 20, 2009
12 oz bottle. Poured a clear gold color with a two finger white head that lingered. The aroma was earthy, with some citrus notes. The flavor was malty, with only a slight grassy hop finish. The bitterness lingered for quite a while. This was not my favorite IPA, and I probably wouldn’t have it again.

hophead21112 (195) - Louisville (LEWISville), Colorado, USA - FEB 17, 2009
Bomber from Union Jack. Honey straw-colored pour with one-finger white head. Minimal retention and average lacing. Aroma is grainy sulfur, some hops. Not enough to call it an IPA. Mouth is more of the same. Above average carbonation, adjunct corny/lager-like taste on the tongue, metallic sulfur. Might call it a pale ale. Will not go for this one again. Expected more from this brewery. Unremarkable.

Beaver (874) - Fort Collins, Colorado, USA - FEB 13, 2009
12 oz bottle. Pours a clear golden yellow with a big rocky white head that retains well and laces the glass.

The aroma is mild spicy and grassy hops with some sweet slightly vegetal malts.

The flavor is some sweet malts with a earthy, grassy hop finish that has some decent bitterness. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with some sharp carbonation.

Overall, a pretty average IPA. I didn’t really care for the flavor profile. I prefer brighter fruitier hops.

BeerNeedy (111) - Anchorage, Alaska, USA - FEB 10, 2009
12 oz bottle the aroma was better than average with a definite hop note. The pour was clear with a burnished copper hue. The flavor was hardy but the finish was sharp on the tongue. Drinkable overall.

Draft at Yard House, Las Vegas. Poured a clear amber color with an average frothy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate sour hoppy aroma. Medium body. Medium bittersweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. This is a good drinkable brew.
