4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20Good IPA, nice hop aroma, amber color with a good head. Taste is sweet then bitter with hops all along the way. Over all this beer is up there for the IPAs.

4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Aroma of tropical fruits almost like a juice with lots of flavors erupting. The great amber color to the pour with a disappearing head and little lacing. It has the characteristic west coast IPA demeanor.
Lots of grassiness hits the palate on every sip. Very full bodied with flavors throughout the palate. Citrus notes too. Delicious stuff and even though there's a slightly boozy angle to it, it ends up being pretty balanced overall.
Lovely beer with lots happening. Great palate, and excellent for a spring afternoon.

Bomber to snifter (thanks Beerpig317). Looks solid; a transparent orange with off-white lacing. Smells malty and hoppy (in that order). Tastes like it smells with an average mouthfeel. Solid beer.

Bottle courtesy of Ray, and clearly not fresh. Pours a cloudy amber-orange. Mild piney hops, tons of malt - caramel, honey. Boozy and I have way too many good beers to drink. Drain pour.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
22 oz bomber pour into snifter..great looking double to start with a large crater like head that settles down..big piney and citrus presence on nose with mango..papaya and pine for sure..been keeping an eye out for this for a while..quite nice mouthfeel that starts with a bit of sweetness and a lighter than expected presence..but next comes a boozy warming punch that warms the insides...brandy notes..citrus notes on the aroma are a tad dominated by the boozy finish..perhaps too much..but hey this is a pretty formidable double.so to be expected..quite enjoyable and definitely worth seeking out....

A - Pours a dark amber with 1.5 fingers of off-white. Good retention.
S - Pine, sweet grapefruit, thick caramel, alcohol.
T - Rich caramel malt off the top, then comes candy grapefruit, pineapple, lychee, strawberries, turns to an herbal pine flavor toward the end. Finishes fruity and bitter.
M - Full bodied, smooth carbonation.
This isn’t a bitter-bomb but the hops provide alot of juicu fruit flavor. Alcohol is heavy in the nose but doesn’t come through when drinking it. Very good.
