Jun 11, 2007 Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy amber with a sizable, thick white head. Fair bit of citrus (grapefruit) in the aroma, some caramel and a trace bit of floral notes. Flavor is good bit of caramel malts, with a very nice hop content, some yeast and a dose of piney hops. Dry and bitter. Alcohol is pretty well hidden.

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 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.

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.
