Bomber from Gail’s in Hickory. Gold pour with a thin white head. Aroma is lots of citrus/grapefruit and light pepper. Tastes are distinctly different - sweet caramel malts up front and then floral, light citrus bitter (w/ the pepper). Very nice.

Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy dark golden/orange color with a very small head. A little bit of hoppy notes to it, but I smell a bit of metal, even though it came from a glass bottle. A bit of citrus to the taste, with some of the characteristic bitterness. Not a bad one...

4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
UPDATED: OCT 19, 2012 Pours dark orange with a white head that lingers. Sweet malt and cirtus hop aroma. Malty sweet but nicely balanced with the classic heavy hop bitters.

On tap at Packs Tavern in Asheville, NC Hops, malt & honey in aroma. Cloudy gold with no head. Tons of hops - mostly pine & grapefruit - enough to make my eyes water a bit. A good amount of sweet malt complements well. I did not taste any alcohol at all. Very drinkable, considering all that’s going on here. Excellent.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Tap. Amber with minimal head. Big beer. On the boozy side. Some malt in the body. More bitter than hoppy. The single IPA is much better IMHO.
