3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
A big IBU. A tad of age in the aroma, and off flavour in the finish, yet still a good IPA. Very drinkable. Big bubbly head on golden body.
Mike’s bottle from SF.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Mostly clear golden colour with a lively head. Muted aroma but sports a hoppy pine cone profile and exotic peach note. Hoppy taste profile, almost medium bodied but lacks any real finish or jump. filtered, reduced, no malts. i’m not as impressed as I should have been.

3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
22oz bottle. Hazy golden pour with a nearly white head. Big fresh grapefruit on the nose with a hint of malt in the background. Lots of big grapefruit and passionfruit on the palate with not much else at all. Pretty one dimensional.

Bomber bottle. Hazy golden, white head. Nice hop aroma, nicely balanced body, not as good as previous versions of this beer.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
GABF, 2012. Good. This is a balanced IPA with lightly sweet malt and fresh, citrus hops. Good flavor, I expect this is best very fresh. Very good hop aroma.

Big hoppy aroma lots of floral hops a touch of strawberry and a hint of passion fruit loads of grapefruit and a hint of pine along w/ a touch of graham cracker. Palate is well coated lightly creamy. Flavor is well hopped finishes a bit bitter and builds from that but loads of grapefruit and a hint of strawberry in there along w/ a touch of graham cracker in the finish. Very good.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Apricot color with little head. Medium citrus aroma. Taste is dry and bitter. Citrus is not reflected much in the flavor.
4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Sampled at GABF 2012. Pours a hazy orange body with thick white head and lots of lacing. Aroma is super fresh pine and a tropical burst of citrus. Mouthfeel is medium, nicely carbonated and balanced with notes of tropical fruits, grapefruit, pine, light dank herbal flavor and a muted, dry floral finish.
