Brewed by Bear Republic Brewing Company
Style: Imperial/Double IPA
Healdsburg, California USA

Serve in Snifter, Tulip

From notes: Pours a nice orange-red amber with a thick, ivory-colored head. Aroma of piney hops, with yeasty and grainy notes mixed in. Slightly thick and a touch oily in the finish. Flavors of piney and grapefruity hops, with a nice little bite from the rye in the middle.

Pours a dark amber with an off white head and a nice sweet aroma. Has a big hop resin taste with an usual backing to it.. i expected a caramel malt flavour because of the colour although the rye has provided its unique twist. Ok beer i didnt really taste the alcohol at all and it was well balanced.

Deep copper pour with some haze, 2 gingers of head. Hoppy, earthy aroma, citrus fruit, caramel malt. Piney/citrusy hops give way to rye, caramel malts, roasted malt, earthy. Medium bodied, lower carbonation. Happy to drink this any time of year.

Bomber, Copper red with a thin head that lasts. Big hop and rye flavors hit you up front. As the beer warmed caramel and sugar flavors were noted in the malt. Pine and bitter finish. Nice big beer, I would buy again.

Bottle from Purvis. Massive beer, with great malt and hop balance. Aromas of grain, caramel, nuts, pine, and flowers. Taste is sweet, with bitterness taking over for a very long finish. Palate is creamy, and full bodied. Amber, with a frothy head.

Bomber pours a dark brown with a khacki head. Aromas of grass some flural notes backed with a good carmel malt. Flavor is bitter with a touch of sour rye. Body is full and finish leaves a great bitter flavor behind.

Tastes of a brown ale and ipa marriage. Piney and hoppy without too heavy of a mouthfeel. Lingering piney citrus afterwords.

pours an amber brown with an off-white 1 finger head that leaves a nice amount of lacing. Aroma is a very nice combination of breadiness, hops and rye spice. Hops are very piney. Great flavor to this beer malty and spicy from the rye with a nice balance of hops. A lingering bitter after taste that is very refrehsing. Medium bodied and light-medium carboantion really allows the flavors int his beer to be the star. Surprised by the balance of flavors in the taste after the strong spicy and hoppy aroma. Very good beer.
