Aug 9, 2009 Updated: Oct 28, 2009Rerate 10/28/09 after scoring a case of these fuckers. Originally rated 8/9/09: shared 22 oz. bomber at Teresa’s. Poured golden with fizzy head. Fresh cut orange and grapefruit nose. Crisp, citrus hop flavor. This beer is all about FRESH CUT citrus fruit. Low IBUs make this one a great, sessionable IPA. Damn near perfection when it comes to IPAs.

Aug 9, 2009 Pours clear, light yellow orange with a disappearing off white head. Nice aroma of pine, florals, and grapefruit. The flavor has mango, peach, apricot, pine , grapefruit, and florals at the end. Sweet caramel rounds it out. Light bodied for a IIPA with an excellent flavor and palate. A top notch beer and one of my favorite IIPA’s.

Aug 5, 2009 Clear amber with a white head. Huge sticky home grown ganja bud aroma with pine and grass. medium body. Tongue numbing hoppy flavors of grass pine grapefruit, with some malty sweetness to cut the scorching hops a tad. Love the smell, but the flavors are on the harsh side.

Aug 3, 2009 bottle shared by psprings...
amber-golden colored pour with a thin white head and some random lacing.
resinous nose with notes of white peaches, grapefruit, orange, flowers, pale malt sweetness and some cereal graininess.
the flavor is much the same... sharp, spicy, bitter and dry on the finish with some lingering waxiness. it feels like it is missing something mid palate to put it over the edge... a richness, perhaps some malty depth.
it is medium bodied leaning on light... making it terribly easy to put away. 8/3/7/4/16/3.8

Aug 2, 2009 Updated: Aug 3, 2009Bottle at Blind Pig in Champaign IL. Pours a golden amber with a white head, and very nice lacing. Aroma is stellar, which is floral hops and exotic fruits (tangerine, mango, apricot). Lighter side of medium bodied with carbonation somewhere between medium and soft. The malt profile is very pale, pretty much to the point where the hops dominate the flavor. The hop profile more fruity than bitter, with pleasant notes of peach, orange, and pineapple. Good attenuation to compliment the fruit notes. Finish has moderate herbal spicy bitterness with toffee, but you can tell this is starting to go downhill. I would treat this beer like Pliny- drink it as soon as possible, and it may be shot after 4 weeks. This is what I refer to as a "delicate" IPA.

Aug 1, 2009 I paid 17 bucks for a bomber. It did not live up to the hype or the price tag. It was a good IPA however. Golden color, small head, good lacing. Hoppy aroma and slightly tropical. Hop bitterness, hop flavor and tropical fruit are the main flavors. Not as bitter or hoppy as I expected. Smooth finish with minimal hops lingering on the palate. I would like to try this in Cali to ensure freshness.
