On tap at Map Room, Chicago. Kind of piney-- not as sweet hop tasting as 3F Dreadnaught or Bell’s Hopslam. Pretty good, but have had better.

Oct 13, 2008 Pours a deep copper with a faint white head. Aroma, well, there isn’t much aroma to speak of, just a bit of sweet Maris Otter and some Fuggles. Heavy mouth-feel with a taste of caramel and a slightly bitter finish. A very uncomplicated DIPA, disappointed for sure. Maybe I’ll try and review again in the future.

Oct 12, 2008 22 oz. bottle. Hopmouth pours a clear amber color with a small off white head. The aroma is big sticky sweet caramel malt, oranges, other citrus hoppiness. The flavor has a nice moderate sweetness, biscuity malt, orange citrus, with a general bitterness that lingers. There is a nice balance between the malt and the hops. On the thicker side of medium bodied. This is a decent although non spectacular DIPA.

Oct 8, 2008 Bomber courtesy of eaglefan538. Floral aroma on the nose. Copper body with creamy white head. Good citrus flavor, sugary sweetener and not as dry as most IIPA’s can be. Smooth on the palate good brew. Thanks Brian

Oct 2, 2008 Bomber poured a lightly hazy copper with a small lasting amber head. Aromas of carmel, fruittiness, earthiness and a hint of pine. Palate was medium to full bodied and smooth with a lightly dry finish. Flavors of carmel, earthiness, tropical fruit and some herbal notes with a smooth lingering bittersweet finish.
Too sweet for a DIPA in my never to be humble opinion!
