Jun 3, 2009 Sampled at Johnny’s Sidebar. A huge hop profile. A big tart grapefruit bite. Hopheads will love this beer. Some caramel for sweetness but it is a distant second to those hops.

Jun 3, 2009 Updated: Oct 6, 2009Now this is the bomb. Hop bomb that is. Every hop head in the nation needs to try this one! Punch you in the nose. Slither over your tongue. Glide down your throat and blow your mind! Then die with a smile on your face.
I tried it again and noticed something. Whoa, whoa whoa? Wait a minute. Ive been duped! It says on the bottle they used hop extracts. Arrgh! I knew there was something sickly sweet and artificial about this one.

Jun 1, 2009 Bomber courtesy of CelticBrew. Clear orange/amber pour with a yellowish white head that shows some good durability. Ths is a real hop bomb, with a huge hit of grapefruit. If yo can work through that, some toffee and fruit aromas are detectable. Medium body, resinous palate, and very dry. Teh hop bitterness begins its assault quickly, leaving litte room for the malt to show through. Long, bitter finish is not unexpected. NIce.

Jun 1, 2009 This hop beast was loaded on the nose with pine, citrus and some other fruit... Pours a A good burnt orange color with a nice white head that does last the whole beer. Mouthful was medium body with a bit too much carbonation for me and the beer finish crisp. Flavor was hoppy but not as much as I thought it would be.. That being said it was still balanced and had a nice malty sweetness to it. Lost of grapefruit on the front but not enough hop on the back... Nice beer and I enjoyed it.

May 31, 2009 Poured from 22oz bomber. Nice heavy, piney/hoppy aroma. Clear copper/orange body with very thin head. Taste screams west-coast DIPA but is extremely well balanced among hops, malt, sweetness, and aromatic characteristics. Excellent mouthfeel. This one has moved onto my personal "Top 5" list of DIPAs... maybe even the Top 3 if I get a chance to taste it on tap.
