20071025 Bomber. Sticky, massively hopped stuff. summit? Cat pee but also a bit armpitish but I’m digging it nonetheless. That’s unusual. Canned pineapple juice. Long dry finish.

Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy copper color with medium sized off white head. Aroma is citrus, pine, floral. Flavor is grapefruit, pine, floral, light malts. Palate is medium bodied, medium carbonation, finished very bitter. Very good.

Bottle courtesy of Bu11zeye: Poured a clear golden color ale with a medium size foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of dry and citrusy hops is clearly dominating with some notes form floral hops but too subtle to make a real impact. Taste is also dominated by some dry and citrusy hops with a light malt profile. Good carbonation with an average body and no apparent alcohol but lacking floral hops. Nice experiment overall but not something I would wish to have on a regular basis.

No mistaking this is an IIAP. Serious amount of hops in this guy. Spicy hoppy bite to it. BIG creamy cloudy foamy head. Another solid solid beer from M S. I swallowed this in no time. Very drinkable.

22oz bomber wife got me for Christmas. Alot of citrus grapefruit on the nose along with some citrus floral tree aroma as well. Copper body with good white head and sticky lacing left on the pint glass. Flavor good dose of citrus hops along with some sugary sticky thick malt. Easy on the palate as you savor the nector of this brew. Good stuff.

Large, rocky white head with excellent retention and a fair amount of stringy lacing. Hazy, copper orange color. Fat hop nose, citrus, light tropical fruit, apricots and a hint of alcohol. Body is med/full, resiny on the palate, good carbonation. Toasty, chewy caramel malts smothered by large grapefruity flavors, nicely piney with notes of cedar and some grainy pale malts. Dry finish is hoppy with a big old hop bite. Nice! Props to jake65 for this bomber of heavenly hop juice!

Nice bomber from Liquid Solutions. Smooth aromas of resin and citrus. Almost floral. Sort of an amber gold, almost copper, color with a decent whitish head that laces a bit. Hits the mouth with a harsh shock. Hops and hops. Medium to full bodied with creamy/chewy carbonation. I’m sure there’s malt in here, but the hops are primary. I vote for resin and grapefruit, but the citrus is a little disturbed by the others. 100 IBUs. Finishes nice and bitter to support that number. Gets a bit mild after the taste buds overload. Really great IIPA.

Poured a slightly hazed light copper color with an off-white head. The hop aroma was big and forward. Piny and citrus notes. in the flavor the hops were good but less than the aroma. Moderately bitter with a long finish. Medium bodied.
