Jul 14, 2008 From abomber, pours a deep copper color. Very citrusy aroma. Taste is more of the same citrusy, grapefruity hop flavor. Alcohol is hidden well. Great IIPA.

Jul 12, 2008 Bottle. Hazy gold/orange, fluffy white head. Nose is big citrus - grapefruit, pine, mint, toffee & a hint of sugar. Flavor is citrus, surprisingly malty, pine needles, orange rind. Finish shows toffee, long lasting citrus, minty pine.

Jul 8, 2008 22oz bottle. Aroma: Lots of citrusy and piney hops. Grapefruit, pineapple, resin. Really juicy. A hint of caramel and a nice malt sweetness underlies all the hops. Appearance: Dark golden in color and hazy. Off-white head was medium sized and looked like soap suds. Fair retention and lacing. Flavor: Hops kick in right from the beginning. Orange and pine, pineapple and resin. Bitterness comes on early and fairly strong. Don’t taste any of the malt until the aftertaste, where I pick up a bit of caramel and some malt sweetness. Finishes fairly dry with the bitterness carrying over for quite awhile. Palate: Medium-full bodied. Medium carbonation. Light alcohol warming in back of mouth. Overall: Really nice west coast IIPA. Full of flavor and really drinkable. I’m glad I have a couple more of these.

Clear golden color, white head. Strong hoppy scent, some green peppers. Hoppy, bitter, citrus taste. Bitter aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel, high bitterness.

Jul 5, 2008 Bomber: A nice medium golden with toned down hops from the hop head red. Hops are infused more into the body and extend longer thru the mouthfeel. This sucker went down fast and smooth for a 9%er. The bomber left me feeling wobbly and content with life. If that is not high praise, I’m uncertain what is.
