One of the best IPA aromas I’ve ever had; smelled of sweet pungent fruit. Amber colour, bitter finish, lingering flavor. Yet, balances elements of bitter to sweetness.

Jul 26, 2008 Bottle. Reddish-gold with an off-white head. Awesome fruity-punchy nose from hops. Mildy sweet, malty and fruity flavor draped around a moderately bitter center, with a full and somewhat cottony mouthfeel. Sticky bitterness in the aftertaste. Tasty and fun beer to drink.

Jul 26, 2008 Pours a nice copper colour with a tight off white head.
Nice mouthwatering grapefruit and floral hop. Biscuity caramel malt undertones.
Flavour is grapefruit and tangy citrus hop transitioning into an oddly sour-ish malt and more caramel sweetness then citrus floral hop finish.
A very unique malt profile to this IIPA.

Jul 22, 2008 Bomber bought at Sams in Chicago. Pours a cloudy copper color with a thick off-white head. The aroma is full of hops; citrus mostly, and some metallic notes. The taste was so smooth and very tasty; a ton of citrus, grapefruit, a balance of caramel malt and sweet candied oranges. Just a damn good beer. Dangerous, a bomber can dissapear very quickly.

Jul 20, 2008 pours a clear amber with a medium size foamy head, very good lacing.
smell is grapefruit, caramel, spice, roasted malt, hint of orange.
taste is creamy, light grapefruit, some sweet caramel, touch of orange, malt in the back, touch of pine, lightly bitter in the end.
overall there is no alcohol taste and that is pretty impressive for a 10.21% ABV.

Jul 19, 2008 Bottle. Aroma of flowers, honey, citrus fruit, and caramel. Deep red amber brown hue with an average sized frothy head that mostly diminished and left great lace. Flavor is caramel and flowers with honey and bitters. Palate is full bodied and soft. Just a fantastic brew. Solid from aroma to flavor to palate. Just lovely.
