Sep 22, 2007 Bomber. Nice pour with a thick, tight, white head. Flavor is over ripe blood oranges, resin & pineapple. This is the real deal. Spicy hops are blended perfectly with the sweet malts. A great choice making this "SD IPA" a cozy 8%. I love this stuff.

Oct 16, 2007 22oz bottle acquired in trade with bu11zeye (thanks!). This one’s been on my wishlist for a little while. Poured a medium and cloudy amber color with a huge sized off white head. Lots of lacing left on the glass. Aromas of pine. grapefruit, melons, caramel, and pineapples. Tastes of pine, caramel, pineapples, and grapefruits. Fruity. Nicely balanced and very enjoyable - I could drink this one every day!

Mar 28, 2008 Updated: Apr 17, 2008Bottle from Dunk, thanks! Cloudy apricot color with medium fluffy head. Aroma of straight fruity hops. Mango/apricot mainly. The taste was the same with light malt and good sweetness. This shit was really good. I need some more.

Oct 12, 2007 Bomber bottle from Markus and enjoyed in my GI IPA tulip: Sunset orange hue with a mostly lasting frothy head which left very good lace upon the glass. The aroma is hop driven with notes of grapefruit, pear, tangerine, mango, pine needles, resin, pepper along with a dash of biscuity malt and caramel.
The taste is pure cascade hop, lush, fresh, fruity, acidic, and a touch spicy. The malt is there more for show and some semblance of balance. Does get a tad dry and metallic after awhile but hardly stopped it’s drinkability. This brew is lively, sharp, refreshing and a good example of the wonders of dry-hopping. GET YA SOME and drink it fresh, a must have if you like fruity IPA’s!
