Jun 10, 2007 Pours a nice amber with a white head. Citrus hops are most noticable amongst other hop aromas. The flavor is piney with a distinct malt finish that hides the alchohol nicely.

Jun 10, 2007 Pours with a substantial off-white rocky head, spiderweb lacing. More of a Cascade hop aroma, I think 3F Gumbalhead has a better representation of an Amarillo hop presence than this. A very weak body, watery. The 10% alcohol not noticable, for whatever that is worth.

Jun 7, 2007 Hazed amber, thin creamy white head. Soft juicy pineapple nose that fades into a piney tangerine tone. Sweet caramel and toffee malt are well noted as the foundation here. Well bittered flavors up front with tangerine and pineapple balancing on a touch of sweet malt. Medium bodied, medium carbonation, super drying, bitter finish. Definitely one for the hop lover to seek out. Nicely done as it got my Mojo risin without a doubt...

Jun 7, 2007 22oz bomber-A slightly hazy orangish body with an aroma of citrus, grapefruit, and hops. Taste of hops, citrus, and more hops. Nice tasting IIPA.

Jun 6, 2007 Bomber. Citrus, tangerine and grapefruit, aroma. Some hop, mostly fruity. Hazy orange with a thin, large bubble head. Bottle opening was flimsy; head is a little flat. May be some cap seal issues. Strong, hoppy flavor. Has the elements you like to see in a double IPA, but somehow it doesn’t come together all that well. The whole is less than the sum of it’s parts. Nevertheless, a 35 pctl beer in the double IPA style is still a very good beer, and this is no exception. Rating may be unfairly affected by poor bottle cap seal.

Jun 6, 2007 From a 22-oz bottle, pours a cloudy orange/amber brew with a thick, lumpy white head. Aroma of grapefruit/citrus, pine, and some lemon juice. Taste is acidic, average carbonation, sweet biscuit malt and lots of piney hops. Finish is bitter and stays around for a while. A very solid IIPA.

Jun 4, 2007 (bottle - 22 oz) Hazy amber color with a creamy white head. Aroma is very floral and piney with lots of resin, caramel, and sweet malts. Flavor is very floral and hoppy with a lot of pine resin, hops, sweet malts, and alcohol. Very smooth and creamy with a bitter but short lasting finish.

May 29, 2007 I thought this was a barleywine. Very well hopped with floral and bitter hops in the aroma. Some sugar in the flavor, and medium bitter hops. Almost no carbonation.
