Full Sail Wreck the Halls

Bomber. Red amber color, beige head with good lacing. As others have posted, taste is a big battle between bitter, almost puckering citrus hops and cream. Will re-review when I have more time.

Bomber from Liquid Solutions. The aroma is a high concnetration of sweet caramel malt and citrusy hops in almost equal parts. The body is tan/orange and holds a thumb thick off white head that is lasting, but fairly bubbly. <P> Piney, lightly citric hops make up the netirity of the fore followed by smooth sweet malts that are caramel tinged and transitioning into a bitter, sticky feeling, finish. The mouthfeel is slightly oily, sticky but is otherwise fairly full and enjoyable.

its an aroma struggle between hops & malt that the caramel wins just barely, the hop aroma remains subversive. nice carbonation and a light weight on the tongue, aromatic. hops dominate in the flavor, piney & a little sticky, clashing a little with the malt which is a little unfocussed, more than toasted but less than roasted.

Bottled. Maybe I have been having way to many DIPA lately, but this does not taste like a hop forward beer to me (contray to other reviewers). It’s texture is perhaps more frothy/creamy than other ipa. I’m surprised in a good way that this is not as spiced up as other holiday type offerings.

Copper pour with a light white head. Caramel, pine, and orange aroma. Hops heavy up front, lots of resin without much citrus. Malt and caramel are close to follow. Finish is a decent blend of both. Decent IPA.

2006 bottle. Beer is clear, medium-hued caramel brown Head is initially small, white, frothy. Mostly and quickly diminishing.<P> The aroma is malty with light notes of toasted grain, caramel, trace of shortbread; Hop-driven with moderate-to-heavy notes of resin/pine, vibrant grapefruit peel, light thyme-like herbal and dried apricot, trace dried orange zest, cedar; Yeasty with just a trace of funky dish rag; Light miscellaneous note of spicy alcohol.<P> The flavor is moderately sweet, moderately bitter, lightly acidic with a long, lightly acidic, lightly bittersweet, slightly warm finish.<P> The body is light, the texture is watery and the carbonation is lively.<P> Hopped-up, but not out of balance. Bright and citrusy.

Rerate. Only addition would be that it makes a refreshing warm weather beer...Bottle from Bevmo. Poured a brownish-orange, medium fluffy white head. Aroma was bold; citrus hop. A crisp, fresh smell. Flavor was pretty unusual for an IPA. Malt, bread and hops. Pretty good palate. Some citrus and floral notes.

Bottle from BevMo. Poursa medium brownish/ruby color. Sweet and sticky hoppy aroma with a fair amount of malts. Bready malted hoppiness rightup front. Well balanced flavors. Not overly hoppy.
