Feb 22, 2009 Who sent me this bottle? Mar? i don’t remember, but I am glad I got to try it. Not bad. An apricot color with a white head. The hops hit your nose with some resin and citrus and keep hitting you all the way through the sipping. Has just enough malt to make this a beer worth having another. Good.

Feb 20, 2009 Had on tap at Rattle n Hum in nyc. Pours what looked to be on the light side with orange yellowish hint. I dont like the style, but this was an exception. Very good IPA, spice/pine flavors not overpowering, great lace work. nice balanced. recommended.

Feb 19, 2009 Updated: Aug 17, 2009Bottle from Bev Mo, very hoppy beer. Can taste it throughout the entire beer. Cloudy orange slight brown color, decent beer if you want a full hoppy type of beer.

Feb 19, 2009 From a 12 oz bottle this awesome IPA pours an orange color with a decent white head. Smell of hops (and more hops) and pine, floral and grapefruit. Nice taste of citrus hops, caramel malt and a sweet sugary follow-up. Decent carbonation - not too much. ABV is a litle high for a session beer (7%) and some attention is required to drink this one - but I could see myself knocking a few of these back without any problem. Nice, nice brew..... A little pricey for everyday drinking but Racer 5 will find a steady home in my beer fridge for when I want something a cut above the others.

Feb 17, 2009 Updated: May 22, 2009From a 22. oz bomber. Excellent brew. Has an extremely hoppy aroma, and pours a murky orange-brown. Flavor was really hoppy, but pretty refreshing at the same time. A fantastic beer, I’ll definitely have to buy again.

Feb 16, 2009 Thanks kiefdog for the share. Pours a yellow-orange brown with a white head. Nose is sweet malt, caramel, citrus, and floral hops. Flavor is sweet malt, caramel, and a very gentle, flavorful hops experience. Enjoyable, but slightly Simcoe hoppy at the finish. Very nice and great lacing on the glass. Excellent.
