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.

Coppery pour with a tons of thick foam. Aroma is a huge amount of citrusy hops. Flavor is very bitter with the citrus-like hops overpowering any malt flavors. Perfectly carbonated. Creamy mouthfeel. Finishes dry. Could use some more sweetness or complexity, but all in all this is a great hoppy IPA.

Extra IPA for sure. It’s a slightly milder version of Celebration but just a bit too hoppy still for my palate. It has a decent floral hop aroma and an impressive copper pour with a big white head that leaves a lot of lacing. The citrus hops hit early but the finish is a bitter bomb explosion. It leaves your mouth pretty dry and makes it slightly hard to drink fast. It’s a solid beer but a touch overrated in my opinion.

Bottle @ brew wharf. Orange brown with slight haze. Not as much on the nose as I thought there might be - slightly funky hops, some overripe fruit maybe. Tasted good, though. Slight funky tropical fruit sweetness with a little choc malt which then turns into the bitter grapefruit with slightly tonic edge. Good. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

jmcgavin12 (165) - Madison, USA - MAY 20, 2013
Pous deep cloudy red with hops bursting from the frothy head. There is a lot of piney citrus notes and enticing grapefruit near the finish. The flavor is a lot sweeter than anticipated but full of bitter notes and finishes with an astringent end. Great IPA

A light sweet aroma. Such a full flovour it is intense, slight sweetness, citrus, a lil toffee. Nice light brown colour. A good IPA.

I may have had an old beer when I had this because it seemed as though it had lost a lot of its hop flavor. Mine was very malty and almost a bit skunky (age may have caused the off flavors?)

Aroma: pine resin, Appearance: Deep clear gold with a large frothy off white head. Flavor: Bready, malty with a hint of roasted grain with a nice balance between malt sweetness and hop bitterness. Palate: Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, sticky texture. Overall: Excellent IPA. Great balance.

This beer is one of the best I’ve tasted in ages from America. It pours nice with an perfect amount of heady foam, as soon as you start to pour it you sniff the hops from an arms length away. Heavy Citrus, floral, herbs and bitterness. Feelings of a green blooming spring. Taste is light sweet, medium bitter and light dryness. Didn’t find any sediment. Strongly recommend you try this.

Perfect taste of citrus-y hops and malt backbone. May be one of if not the best IPA I have ever had. Excellent all around.

Ravfarge med lite skum. Bitter humle. Fruktig lukt og smak. God karbonering og syrlig snak. Dette drikker jeg gjerne igjen. Melkebaren.
