Bottle. Sampled at YEHA. Aroma was near perfect. I couldn’t stop smelling it. A beautiful blend of grapefruit and hoppy notes. Pale golden body with thin head. Flavor is lightly bitter, hops, grassy. May be my favorite of the gathering.

pours golden light amber with a lacy off white head. Strong earthy pine hop aroma. Medium bodied with a bitter hop taste as expected.

Shared with WeeHeavySD at the Wii Bowling Tournament. Which I lost, by the way. I’m still champion in Belgium though. I need to rematch soon so I can claim both belts again. On to the beer.... Obliteration is an apt name for this as it completely obliterated my palate. It’s more like a quadruple IPA. Definite hop bomb and a half. Too much. Tasty, but also proof that you can overdo it. More than one in a night would make my shit smell like pine cones.

Bomber I believe that came from Samuaraiartist. Shared with bartzilla. This was a pretty damn tasty DIPa. had a lot of citrus in it and largley bitter finish. Overall it was a pretty nice showing from those guys up in the icy cold north.

Bottle at argo0’s xmas party, thanks kmweaver. Copper, hazy, small white head. Aroma is pleasantly hoppy, with pine-citrus, soap. Flavor is hoppy as well, and has a decent backbone of malt, caramel detected. Aftertaste is grassy, and little but of alcohol.

This one poured a dark orange color. Some orange peels, tangerines, and lemons in the nose. Mainly lemons and oranges are showing up in the flavor with a hint of pine. This one has a nice malt backbone to it. The finish is rather bitter. Overall this was a nice IIPA.
