2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draft. Unless this is old, it’s really not good. Aroma is of stale beer and malt centric IPA. Taste is more of the same with some slight pine hop character coming into the beer. I can’t think this is what everyone else tastes but it is on draft so who knows. I’d never order this one again with how malt centric this is.

Bottle: Vibrant amber, light carbonation, strong frothy off-white head, nice lacing. Strong citrusy aroma, hoppy, bright. Smooth on the tongue, yet lots of hop flavor. Citrus for the most part, slightly floral. Body and mouthfeel are full to moderate. Clean finish, slight alcohol burn, lingering hop bitterness. Excellent example of the style, spot on.

Clear red beer, little white head. Light hoppy nose. Softish palate, semi dry. Aniseed alcohol and pine hops. Traces of grapefruit and pineapple. Bitter finish. Smooth but could do with less obvious alcohol and more hoppy fruits.

Pours golden orange with brown hues and a big white head. Nose is rich caramel, molasses, honey and pine. Taste is sweet for a second the. The hop smack in the face is delivered with great bitterness. Mouthfeel is sticky and creamy, body is heavy and the finish is long.

22 oz, pours dark amber, wonderful aroma of pine cones, slight teryaki sauce, and orange peels. Taste like God’s Carmel, malty in the mid palate good strong Hoppy aftertaste. Middle weight body. The malts a little dominant for me.

Thanks, Tim, for the hook up with this brew! This one was a clean orange color with a white head. Initial aromas were mainly some tropical fruit, some citrus, and caramel malt. Overall, the mouthfeel was a bit oily or slick to me. Flavor is a lot of malt, with a very sweet backbone to it. Hop flavors are there but a touch overpowered, in my opinion. Great stuff still and it should still please any hophead out there.

Bomber share ---> Thanks Jordan
Appearance - Clean and bubbly, orange, thin head
Aroma - Floral hops, lemongrass, grapefruit
Taste - Hoppy, fruity, sweet, honey and caramel
This double IPA was impressive. Initial taste is a perfect balance of rich tropical fruits and dry hop bitterness. In the end the sweetness wins, but in a very good way.

OMG, this is the highest DIPA I think I’ve ever had. Everything about it was perfect. The only thing I’d change is it has an ever so slight raw alcahol nuance in the taste. Maybe with such a high ABV, along with body of an DIPA it’s hard to hide that?
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle shared with Andrew. Pours a deep copper amber body with big off white head. Aroma is oxidized malts, sweet citrus fruit and light hop. Mouthfeel is smooth, medium and confirms my suspicions about the bottle being too old. I intend to order a bottle or two more of this in hopes to obtain a fresher batch. Lots of potential for an Imperial IPA.

Strong, moderate malty, hoppy, not spicy, simple on the tongue, good drinking beer, a sturdy hearty choice
