22oz bomber. I’ll likely rerate this beer again, and it will probably be much higher. However, in this tasting, I couldn’t get past the onion aroma and garlic flavors in the beer. I later read some homebrewing forums and these flavors are noticed by some when using large quantities of Summit hops. Gmoney (253), ManchVegas, New Hampshire, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Aug 17, 2009 Bomber, poured into Tripel Karmeliet tulip. Color is brilliantly clear and light orange. Aroma is intensely floral and grassy, and a deep sniff will also reveal lemony elements. Flavor starts with fresh cut grass and flowers, sharp hoppiness rounded by some sweetness in the middle and a sharply bitter, spicy, and flowery finish with a touch of grapefruit. So hoppy it almost sizzles in your mouth. Boy, that bitterness stays with you in a lovely way. Alcohol contributes a touch of astringency in the finish, but in general, the hops overwhelm it. Overall, this is as expected a delicious brew. It is intensely hoppy, and a great display of West Coast brewing. The clarity and color of this brew are truly world-class. For some reason though, it can’t surpass GF’s West Coast IPA. Chipper (185), Red Lion, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Aug 16, 2009 Amber pour with a moderate white head. Very fresh hoppy aroma with a little spice. Very drinkable hoppy taste. Nice dry finish. The alcohol is very well hidden. Great stuff. drowland (1380), Tallahassee, Florida, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Aug 13, 2009 Aroma is big sweet malt and a lot of FRESH hops, which smells nice, with, of course, a touch of alcohol as it warms. The flavor is up front sweet fermentables (haha) with a nice balance of hops. This is good, but unfortunately it’s not Hopslam or 90 minute... what can I say? I forgot to mention the breathe-out has minor coffee notes... probably the bitterness. b33r (363), Cleveland, Ohio, USA
