3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: JAN 8, 2011 Tastes just like and rates just like an ipa. I detect a hint of hops. Looks like an ipa too. Blah blah bitter blah blah good aftertaste. The ohio flag is classy in the bottle despite the donkey kong hippie barrel in the middle. I don’t quite understand what exactly makes this hippie beer? Maybe it is made with hippies. Cleveland represent.

Bomber from Josephs in Toledo. Orange pour with large fluffy off-white head. Citrus hop and caramel aroma. Caramel malts balanced well with the hop bitterness in the taste. Good clean bitter and toast in the finish. Nice.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
750 mL bottle. Highly carbonated. Really foams up on me leaving, after a long wait of settling, a sticky, beige head with a golden-amber body. Sweet, floral, and some tropical notes. Not dry. Fading finish, but what lasts is a hop note and a hint of bitterness. Nice flavor.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Golden amber pour with an off-white head. Nice hoppy aroma. Taste is hoppy, a little piney. The hop flavor sticks to the side of your tongue. Little dry finish., a bit sticky. The aftertaste stayed around for a long time. I wish this beer was available in my area. OK lacing, super tasting.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
A pretty average IPA. Drinkable but forgettable. I’m going to manipulate my scores to give it a 3.2
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a copper color with a full soapy cream colored head with sheets of lacing left clinging to the sides of the glass. Wonderful citrus notes really come through in the nose. A fair amount of pine and earth accompany the citrus. There is a bit of an off metallic note in there as well, but is mostly unnoticeable. The aroma is fantasticly full of hops. The flavor is definitely full of hops with sweet caramel malts to balance it all out. The bitterness of the hops can be felt throughout the entire sip. Very nice IPA.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle courtesy of Mike while we were all at Buckeye on our way to RBSG. Pours a gentle amber with a soft beige head. Citrus hops and caramel. Big gritty and earthy hop juice flavors. Ends with a long bitter grapefruit finish.
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
22 ounce bottle. Pours deep amber color with a huge thick white head with awesome retention and lacing. Aromas of caramel malts, and citrus and pine hops. Taste of caramel malts on the front with a nice hop bite on the finish that lingers for a bit. Decent carbonation. Light to medium body. A well balanced IPA that was an instant hit with me because I am a big fan of well balanced IPAs with a good amount of bitterness. Very enjoyable.
