Flaske. Rigtig fin duft af blomster og citrus, men meget mild i smagen. Næsten sart. En kende overrasket over at den ikke havde mere at byde på. En af aftenens mindre gode øl.

Jul 8, 2008 22 oz bottle from Whole Foods Charlottesville. Orange color with a 2-finger head. Floral and pine hop aroma with a honey-like sweetness in the background. Up front citrus hop taste with an earthy feel. Dry, bitter finish.

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.
