| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | May 1, 2009 Bottle. Pours a clear golden color with a small white head. Aroma of pine and a hint of citrusy fruit. Flavor is similar, beginning with a short lived citrusy sweetness moving on to a very strong pine flavor. Ending with a nice dying bitterness. Decent IIPA. Just not as good as I expected. Narnad (689), Wonder Lake, Illinois, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | May 1, 2009 This version of the beer is listed at 8% OH. Pours an orange-golden color with a thick white, foamy head. Aroma is a really bitter pine aroma followed by a very nice citrus notes, mango fruit comes through as well. Flavor starts off very piney and then moving into an grapefruit citrus presence and finishes bitter with some sweet bready malt flavor. Density of the beer holds the flavors very well and the beer carries a slightly oily feel. Overall this is a pretty cheap beer but the flavor is worth much more. One fine beer to give a try if you see it. shablinky (10), Durham, North Carolina, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | May 1, 2009 I love Lagunitas beers and this is the best of theirs that I’ve had. One of the best value/taste balances you can find. Buy this if you can. MAP (1089), Lakewood, Ohio, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 1, 2009 Bomber purchased at Friendly Mini Mart in Lakewood. Really nice pine smell to this beer. Its like being in a nice floral garden with some fresh cut pine trees around. Flavor is much thinner, at first, but it follows through with an amazing mouthfeel. It is so smooth and velvety all around, yet has this amazing bitterness at the end. A real class act of an IIPA. Also, this bottle is listed as 8%. happy4hops (369), Bel Air, Maryland, USA
| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | May 1, 2009 Purchased @ Jim’s Bottleworks in Hickory,MD.Really nice IIPA or beer in general. Definitley reminiscent of 3 Floyd’s Gumball head a little in the aroma.Delicious Fresh hops in the aroma and flavor.Citrus heaven.Very smooth with hops blasting lightly like a quick firework that isn’t all that it you thought it should be, but is so damn enjoyable.Dry finish. Really great work esp considering the hop extract and all.Great price! GranvilleTim (476), Granville, Illinois, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | May 1, 2009 Light red-copper pour with a white head. Hoppy aroma, hoppy taste, hoppy goodness. Light pepper aftertaste goes good with hoppy mouthfeel. Crazy lacing on the glass. People on here have said this is a good beer, I agree. pintbypint (1004), Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | May 1, 2009 650ml brown bottle. Golden colour, clear. Airy white head, some big soapy bubbles. Good retention and decent spotty lacing. Resiny hop aroma, big grapefruit, sweet orange and pine. Sweetish malt below big citrus hops in the mouth, noticable orange notes. Finish is long, citric, pithy, grapefruity, sticky. Medium bodied, average carbonation. Nicely drinkable, well rounded IIPA. pineypower (1090), Pine Barrens, New Jersey, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Apr 30, 2009 Pours out a light copper/golden color with a two finger white head. Aroma is of citrus hops, biscuity malt, earth and maybe a slight fruitiness. Taste is citrus hops, but for clocking in around 100 IBU I was looking for a little more of a bitter punch. The hoppiness fades into some sweet fruits, biscuit and rounds itself out with a dry finish. At this IBU this was extremely drinkable and for the price wouldn’t make a bad session....hummm there is a thought.
