LilBeerDoctor (1480), East Setauket, New York, USA May 9, 2008 Updated: Sep 14, 2008Bottle. Pours a slightly cloudy orange with a foamy white head. Aroma and flavor of citrus and piney hop, some corn, sweet malt. Very drinkable, especially when cold. A little heavy mouthfeel for a single IPA, not that I minded necessarily....an awesome beer with hop deliciousness.
Update 9/14/08: Thought I’d revist this tasty IPA...Growler from Bellport Beer. Aroma of luscious pine and faint citrus. Flavor of lots of citrus (orange peel) with bitter piney hops in the finish. Quite sweet. Nicely balanced, although more on the hoppier side. Just as tasty as before! (No change in my rate)

Slightly cloudy yellow/orange color with foamy white head. Smell is musky and hoppy. Taste is almost spicy, and scrumdiddlyumptiosly hoppy. Bear Republic is so good at this. So well done. keepersj12 (774), Sicklerville, New Jersey, USA May 9, 2008 A top of the line IPA. Great aroma of pine and citrus. Great flavor of the same with a crisp hop bite. fakepurseninja (773), Washington, USA May 7, 2008 400th rating - Chose this for the milestone given I am scheduled to bottle my first homebrew on saturday (extract brew) which was a clone of the Red Rocket from Bear Republic and thought this would be a fitting choice. Really floral IPA. Heavy hop aroma with a strong hop presence marked by a sweet grapefruit presence. Somewhat oily with light resin, but not overpowering by any means. Medium sweet caramel maltiness with a moderate roasty character. Rogueone (506), I F&ckin’ hate those guys from, Ohio, USA May 5, 2008 Tap @ Bodega: pours a dark yellow. Aroma of fresh citrus. Nice body, bittersweet hop finish. Not a standout but very drinkable. elcaballo (101), Beverly Hills, California, USA May 5, 2008 A very solid IPA, piney and with some citrus this beer has a nice bitterness to it that i like to see in an ipa. Alot of what i find to be the signiture bear republic flavors A go to drink for me for sure. Petrucci914 (574), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA May 4, 2008 Pours a cloud golden color with a massive pillowy white head and sticky lacing that covers the glass. Aroma is spicy, citrus hops, pine, and sweet malts. Taste is balanced in terms of bitterness, some pine, grapefruit. A pretty good IPA, but I prefer their Hop Rod. BeerHawk (1175), Huntsville, Alabama, USA May 4, 2008 Bottle. Poured orange in color with a tall frothy white head that leaves light lacing. Nice hoppy IPA aroma backed with caramel malts. The flavor finds citrus hops, pine with a balanced caramel malts. Medium body. (Rating from June ’07)
