Aug 31, 2008 Poured a reddish copper, sticky lacing. The malts were very well pronounced. Toasted caramel, sweet, balanced with some citrus hops. Had 2 bombers of this.

Aug 30, 2008 Bright copper color and flavor. The head is white and leaves lacy reminants that stick to the sides of the glass, leaving rings after each sip. Strong hops present in this beer that leave a piney/citrus flavor on the tongue. Malty finish but the hops stick around long after you taste. Close to an IPA but with more toasted carmel malt flavor. Alcohol is not over powering but definitely present.

Aug 30, 2008 Pours a really nice ruby red with a thin off white head. Aroma is pine hops and malt.
Flavor is pretty nice. A little bitter but more malty than anything. A really nice well balanced beer.

Aug 30, 2008 Poured a heftly looking copper hue with a nice tan head. Aroma had strong caramel malt notes and nice bittering hops. Flavor has a cloying note to it initially and that was balanced out by a hops/alcohol mix. A nice rich finish.

Aug 30, 2008 From a 22 oz. bottle purchased locally. Aroma is hops and toast, slightly sweet and malty. The color s a burnt orange amber that is crystal clear with a thick beige head. Flavors are some orange citrus with the bitterness from the hops, some toasty bread from the malt, and a hint of sweetness that is carried away with the hop bitterness. Full bodied and not over carbonated. I like that the hop flavor compliments malt, even with the higher gravity. Nicely balanced. Not as over the top as Red Rocket, but some similarities.

Aug 27, 2008 Bomber shared with my contractor last night. Big hoppy and forceful in both nose and body. Pours a very nice deep amber in the glass with a bubbly head. The 8% is in the wings but still pokes its head out and relaxes the senses. Maltly finish.

Aug 25, 2008 Bottle which Daniel brought. Thank God it was more redeeming than that Genesis was. This beer pours out a dark red color with a tan head on it. The smell is very malty and full of caramel, sugar hops, grass, and a touch of citrus. Taste is great, alcohol is well hidden, sweet and malty as well. Nice hop profile included in this one as well. A nice beer that reminds me of Arrogant bastard, if not a tad more bold. Good stuff

Aug 24, 2008 bottle - Pours amber with a medium sized, lingering head that offers some lacing. Pine and citrus hops merge with caramel malt in the aroma and let us know what’s to come. This is a hoppy beer in case you hadn’t gathered that from the 77 IBUs. It’s said that humans won’t taste much beyond 80. It’s not a double IPA though as the malt profile, and the hops one to a lesser extent, is distinctly different. There’s more caramel goodness in this beer. The heavy citrus and pine accented hops are joined by plenty of malt to give a bitter but balanced flavor. This medium bodied brew has a long, heavily hopped finish. Very nice.
