May 15, 2009 I really enjoyed this brew. Nice hoppy IPA with great thicker flavor. Aroma of citrus hops along with the juniper berries. Couldn’t really taste the juniper in the flavor, which is probable preferred. Good body. Tasty stuff.

Apr 24, 2009 Pours clear reddish amber with tons of head dissolving into very robust lacing. Interesting malt backed hop aroma. Taste matches with a nice malty sweetness and a good bitter finish.

Apr 24, 2009 Incredible malty, spicy smell with a hint of evergreen. Clear red-brown and pours a thick cream colored head that leaves plenty of lacing. Complex flavor of hops, spice and sugar. Starts sweet and has a lingering bitter finish.

Apr 14, 2009 Bomber that is 4 months old. Not the most ideal freshness but I have to deal with what I can obtain. Pours a very dark copper color with a big foamy off-white head. Looks like a Barleywine. Aroma still shows some nice hops, pine, sap, with a nice malty backbone. Flavor is a mostly caramelly malts now with a significant though clean bitterness. Not too sweet. Honestly I think this beer stood the test of time better than most IIPAs. Not my favorite style but a good example nonetheless.

Apr 5, 2009 Updated: May 16, 2009On tap. Aroma of citrus, juniper berries, molasses, and dried fruit. Deep amber with a thick off white head. You can actually taste all of the main ingredients; bitter northwest hops, sweetness from the malt and brown sugar, and spiciness from the juniper berries. Medium bodied with average carbonation, and a long bitter finish. This is a different twist on an Imperial IPA and I think they pulled it off nicely, a bit thicker and slightly syrupy than most but it works.

Apr 2, 2009 Updated: Aug 6, 2009Bottle... Poured reddish-amber with a white head. Floral hop flavors with a strong malted balance that lent to a smooth finish.

Mar 24, 2009 Bottle from Liquid Solutions. Pours a dark filtered amber with a fizzy head. Nose is awesome C-hops and Simcoe. A touch catty, but super resiny with a touch of citrus. Taste is pretty robust, a little caramel malt at first and some roastiness and a superclean bitterness. This is a pretty tasty beer, definitely impresssed. Nice change for a double Red. Good.
