Citrus grapefruit aroma so sharp it burns your nose, creamsickle like sweetness is the only semblence of malt,taste is pure hop flavors and bitterness,grapefruit meat and rind, tongue curling bitterness to finish,all in a bomber less then 4 bucks,its just so amazing how a California brewery can deliver such high quality at such a reasonable price. Thanks Lt.Judge

Bomber. Clear dark gold color, nice white head. Delicious nose of grapefruit and pine, very similar to Hopslam and other nice hop bombs. Same citrus characteristics in the flavor with a surprisingly short, dry finish. Easy drinking, crisp, and tasty.

22oz bottle. Pours clear amber in color with full foamy tan head. Aroma sweet and citrus hops. Taste citrus hops and pinnaplle with pinnapple and bitter finish.

22oz bomber 4/21/09 (Discount Liquor Milwaukee)- Pours a golden amber with a nice bigg off white head. Aroma of grapefruit, pine, and slight malt. Taste begins with grapefruit then goes into a malty sweetness. This medium bodied DIPA is very well balanced and another great product from Laginitas.

Bomber. Golden amber, 1 finger off-white lasting head. Huge nose of grapefruit, tropical fruit and some pine resin. Some toasty malt comes through as it warms, but very crisp and dry citrus and resiny hop flavor throughout. Solid bitterness, though not harsh (for a DIPA). Nice carb and med mouthfeel. Plus, excellent deal for a $4 bomber.

A clear amber beer with a small white head that doesn’t last, but surprisingly effervescent, like champagne. The aroma is great: all hops, quite sweet and fruity (strawberry, cherry, apple). The flavor is unmistakably fruity, mostly grapefruit. Amazing hop flavor, I’m guessing lots of cascade. Finishes with hop bitterness but not as severe as some DIPAs, and no trace of alcohol heat. They must have gone crazy with the dry hopping.

Ah finally got around to trying it. Was a bit surprised to see that they used a hop extract. I still get a vegetative type taste from the beer which I thought was associated with whole cone. Got a lovely hop aroma and the foam has a high bitterness. Its a lovely dark ale in color and has good head retention. Proper level of carbonation. And I’m a huge hop fan, so the flavor is just what I’m looking for. It was recommended to me and I shall recommend it. Definitely going for another.

Reddish copper hued beer, with a large thick and frothy eggshell white head. Lashings of lace Very vital citric aroma, mostly orangy but lemon and lime are there,also herbal. Citric hop flavours mainlly, drying at the end, but this sure has a huge malt backing, its just that the hoppping is even huger! The bitter after taste is not as long lasting as I imagined. Very nice mouthfeel to it. A substantial brew in every manner, but strangely drinkable! I had no problems polishing off a bomber.
