COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Torpedo is an assertive American IPA deep reddish-gold in color, with a smooth and bready malt presence and over-the-top hop aromas. The beer has a solid bitterness and a massive hop flavor, yet remains easy drinking with a pleasant dry finish.

Ja, citrus och tallskog indeed. Jag anar även toner av toffee/knäck - jäst. Bra balans och stadig kropp. Behaglig och smakrik.

Bottle. Loevly high creamy and long lasting white head. Clear amber body. Beautiful. Hoppy barlay malt aroma with bread and hay notes. Dusty fruity notes as well. Well balanced fruity flavor with a nice shot of hops bitterness. Low carbonation. Long bitter aftertaste.

imdownthepub (7129) - Banbury, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - FEB 8, 2012
Bottled, 355ml from Bellingers Garage, Grove, Oxon. Cloudy orange amber with white head. Initial soft bread, yeasty, malt notes, some soft fruitiness which is rapidly overtaken by a pine like, herby hoppy flavour. Just a tad flabby, not as sharp as I expected, but dominating and lasting. Pretty reasonable overall.

Dixonian (935) - Dallas, Texas, USA - FEB 8, 2012
12oz bottle. Clear amber brew with lots of sticky white head. Pine and citrus hop explosion - flavor is balanced with lots of caramel malt and a good hop punch.

Frenger (91) - Derby, Alabama, ENGLAND - FEB 5, 2012
Bottle from mybrewerytap.com. (I think). Hazy amber and a thin white head. Taste of root vegetable and citrus. Tasty indeed.

Old bottle but still tastes great - solid malt presence a powerful hop flavour. Looks awesome too!
