May 30, 2008 22oz bottle shared courtesy of TomDecapolis. Poured a medium amber color with a larger sized off white head. Wow, nice hop aromas of pine, citrus, and floral green hops. Tastes of pine, caramel, citrus, and floral. Hop lovers like me should enjoy this one!

Jun 11, 2009 Bottle sampled on 5/22/08: Pours a transparent orange golden with a spotty-lacing white head. Aroma of lightly sweet toasty caramel malt and assertive resiny piny notes. Body starts with good fullness and crisp grapefruity bittering and flavor hops toward a drier finish. A nice imperial IPA.

Apr 24, 2008 Draught No head, deep foxy-amber beer. Very citrussy hopsnose with much orange peel; some exotic pears. Very dry orangerind hops; bitterness à gogo. Very dry indeed, approaching dry-out effect. OK, Alaska is W.C. too.

May 18, 2008 Bomber from Liquid Solutions. Strong aroma of citrus hop over sweet malt. Ruby amber color with a decent off-white head. Near full bodied with creamy carbonation. Flavor is citrus hop and bready malt. Hop grabs and won’t let go. Finishes dry, more or less, but really nicely bitter. Excellent drink.

Apr 7, 2008 Big props to puzzl for this beer. Poured a light orange-gold color with a small off-white head. Big hop forward aroma. Citrus over pine with some sweaty notes as well. The flavor was a mix of citrus and piney hops with enough malt to poke through and give some balance. Fairly dry with a moderately bitter finish.

Nov 1, 2008 Bomber. Poured medium-dark orange with a creamy cap of off-white head. The aroma was really, really juicy with floral, pine, and perfumey notes over pale malts and nice caramelization.. great balance throughout. The flavor also had a nice balance between the juicy hops and the rich base.. caramelly notes and pale malts at the core with pine, grapefruit, and floral bitterness around.. memorable finish with more of the bitterness. Medium-bodied and bitter on the palate with just enough support.. really, really good stuff!

Jan 31, 2009 Marvellously balanced, tasty high hop beer. Very drinkable, no my favourite style but outstanding for what it is. Pours grapefruit colour,decent head, and significant hop aromas. Easy mouthfeel and drinking,secondary malt is well integrated.
