3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
1pt. 6oz. bottle. Pours dark capper with average head. Smells of citric and grassy hops. Tastes very citrusy and piney...some carmel sweetness. Sweet malt flavors are exceeded by the abundance of hops. Pretty good beer.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Poured from bomber into glass. Appearance is slightly red and minimal head. Aroma is – what? Where are the hops? Seriously? The aroma is not an IPA – way too neutral and malty. Initial taste is slightly bitter and lackluster on all accounts of hops. The only thing this beer has going for it is the ease of drink. This non offensive, non tasteful, non hoppy beer is not an IPA and on top of that, not that good. Either the beer I got was old, or the beer I got was crap. I lean toward the latter. If I am in Ohio again, I would search out Hoppin Frog over this stuff anyday.

22oz from moejuck - thanks, Joe! Very handsome pour, translucent orange with the big creamy head that is the harbinger of a scrumptious IPA. Abundantly carbonated with a delicious floral nose. Initial taste is very bitter and grassy, but as you savor the full mouthfeel the beer starts to relax a bit, letting the floral qualities - and even some flavorful malts - come through. Finish might be just a bit too acidic, but this is definitely an above average IPA.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours clear pumpkiny orange amber with off white head. The aroma gets better as it warms and is floral, piny, citrusy, earthy, American hops, and malt. The flavor starts with hop bitterness, earthy citrus, grass, moves to a malt backbone and ends with hop bitterness. The mouthfeel is barely on the thick side, very refreshing. Overall this is a very fine IPA that gets better as it warms and is priced very reasonably.

Bottle. Pours a hazy golden with a medium white head. Good hop aromas. Flavors are hoppy with a strong almost a Belgium yeast note. Fairly dry mouth.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
22 oz bottle. Poured clear golden amber in color with a massive foamy beige head that left great lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus, pine and some fairly sweet malt. Tastes is very piney, some solid citrus hops and a nice caramel malt base. Nice hop presence and great body. I really enjoyed this one. I could drink tons of this.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
From bottle. Part of January Dayton Beer Tasting event. Pours cloudy honey/brown with a thick eggshell head. Aromas of citrus hopd and malt. The 80IBU’s show in the taste with force. Decent finish. As others have said - the color is not the best - so close your eyes and enjoy the taste if you get a chance.

bomber into shaker. I had to pour this slowly in stages because the head is a serious grower. Hazy honey brown color (not the most appealing color) with a nice big rocky head. The nose is all fresh floral hops. Flavor is (really) biting pine hops upfront; the pale malt comes through on the finish, through which the hops maintain a steady presence. Alcohol is hidden well. Medium carbonation, medium to light body. Overall: solid though nothing special. A bit one dimensional and out of balance but still good on the whole.

Bomber courtesy of DrHomolka. Pours a clear medium amber with a huge 4 finger white head and nice lacing. Nose is floral and citrus hops and caramel. Taste is sweet malt in the foreground with a big citrus hop flavor finished by a pinesol finish that sticks around for awhile. Light-to-medium mouth feel. Nice hoppy IPA. Thanks Dan!

<i>22oz bottle in Columbus, Ohio.</i> Cloudy amber brown with a thick cream head; aroma of oranges and caramel malts; sharply bitter hop flavours make the mouth tingle. Under the hops there are sweet citrus flavours. A very drinkable IPA let down by the appearance.
