Feb 16, 2009 Bottle (22oz). Poure hazy orange with a large lasting fluffy-creamy off-white head, even solid lacing left behind. Lush aroma of orange and orange zest, moderate alcohol, dry leafy mildly resiny bitterness, slightly spicy. The taste was fairly dry, not as sweet as I figured it would be, restrained bitterness balancing fruity malt, perhaps a touch more of an alcohol kick than optimum, but very enjoyable indeed. Chewy, lively mouthfeel, not at all aggressive, although the alcohol won’t let you forget its presence - fairly quick-finishing, and no bitter aftertaste - a very satisfying quaff, I’d drink another one.

Feb 15, 2009 Bottle at Akkurat, Stockholm
Hazy amber color; big head; nice lace. The aroma is malty, hoppy and fruity; there is sweet caramel, light mango and light resins; so typical American; very good. Good body strength, strong malt flavor, well sweet, sweet caramel and toffee, and powerful bitterness, with some orange-like fruitness; ligth resin in the final, still sweet. Very good American Strong Ale.

Feb 13, 2009 A lot like a IIPA, actually. The aroma was hoppy, floral and citrus, and sweet, bready malts. It was a nice combination. The appearnce was an attractive reddish gold color, again like a IIPA. The flavor was sweet malts, bread dough, and grapefruit citrus hops. THe finish has a nice citrus bitterness to it as well. I am not an Obama fan, but this is a well crafted beer.

Feb 8, 2009 Bomber from Total Beverage. Nice, thick head with beautiful lacing. Copper/orange in color. Aroma is well balanced; sweet citrus and hoppy notes. Excellent mouthfeel with medium carbonation. Balanced on the tongue. Malty sweetness and delicious spicy hop profile. Good stuff!

Feb 8, 2009 An amazing beer. Pours a cherry wood brown, hazy like lake water after a storm. A great head, which nearly coats the entire glass as it goes down. Smells of sweet grapefruit, hops, wildflowers, and ... honey? Tastes of hops, grass, sour grapefruit, and caramel malts. Great balance to this beer, especially considering the ABV. Careful, it would be easy to drink too many.

Feb 8, 2009 Mint? Citrus.. Balanced. Its odd that its balanced for this strong of a beer. The taste is like a San Diego DIPA reigned in. The sweet and bitter clashes slightly on the finish but you can only notice that because its so good.
