andersand (271), Malmö, Sweden Nov 5, 2009 Fairly dark amber colour with a small extremely sticky beige head. Aroma is pine and caramell and lots of them both. Mouthfeel is rather fat and sticky but not at all hard to drink. Flavour is simplistic but yummy with piney hops, citric fruits and a fat toffe and caramell base. Ends very bitter with a lingering sweetness. jmm635 (250), Havertown, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 2, 2009 Poured a hazy amber-orange with a creamy head with excellent retention. Really strong grapefruity hop aroma, balanced nicely by a very sweet maltiness, more evident in the taste. Palate is very smooth with an intense lingering flavor. Alcohol is perfectly hidden, until you get up from your couch and stumble across the room! Frovigalning (398), , Sweden Nov 1, 2009 It poured a hazy dark golden liquid with a small white foam. Smell and taste of fruity hops, citrus and an alcoholic finish. Thick body, smooth mouthfeel. High bitterness. Very nice beer! daleharshman (181), San Diego, California, USA Oct 27, 2009 Bomber from Holiday Wine Cellar. "Bottled in Feb 2009" and marked as 10.27% ABV. Pours a nice amber orange with two fingers of creamy off-white head with good retention. The big zesty hop aroma has sweet grapefruit, mandarin orange. Tastes of sticky resiny hops along with a strong and sweet malt character making it nicely balanced. The finish has some bitterness but has noticeable sweetness as well. The alcohol is practically hidden altogether. A very good DIPA. . Maltajo (103), TARRYTOWN, New York, USA Oct 13, 2009 22 oz bottle. Wow! How the hopps just jumps out at you and hangs out on the back of your tongue! Tangerine and a smooth bitterness! Aggy360 (115), Anchorage/ Vista,CA, Alaska, USA Oct 13, 2009 Pours a hazy golden yellow-orange with a frothy off-white head. Strong citrusy grapefruit hop aroma. Taste has a great malt base with notes of caramel. The hop flavor and bitterness dominate. This brew is amazing, an ode to hops in all their glory. caresville (106), Vernon, New Jersey, USA Oct 12, 2009 pours cloudy amber to orange with a nice golden head. smells like advertised, many many hops. fantastic in the mouth!! grapefruit and lemons galore!! array of citrus fruits and floral hops. quite strong stuff, evident in the swallow. great impy IPA.
