Commercial Description:
Our version of the IPA beer style possesses a deep golden hue, rich malty flavor, a bold, complex, and enduring hop finish and is extremely full bodied. We dry hop this brew and use a combination of Fuggles and Chinook hop varieties resulting in an extremely enticing floral and spicy aroma as well as hop character. Great Western Two Row Pale Malt, De Wolf-Cosyns' Caravienne and Munich Malts are combined to achieve an initial specific gravity approaching 1.065.

Bottled, 22oz. Pretty standard IPA. Good but nothing unique. I like really bold robust hop, this seems a little flat to me. 12/10/07 rerated: upped from a 3 to a 3.5. This is tasting really good, more pine and kick than I recall.

Poured a slightly hazy light amber body with a good sized head. Aroma was grapefruit, citrus, spice, light caramel. Flavor was a little more bitter than most because the malt base was limited. Good but could be a lot better.

22oz bottle: Great hoppy nose. Very resinous and quite floral. The malt sweetness is picked up in the first sip. It meshes well with the grainy hop punch. Good crisp and creamy palate. Mild bitterness on the end. Good IPA.

Almost as good as its Marin counter part. Nice floral aroma with some grapefruit. Hoppy but not overly hoppy. A great brew.

Bottle conditioned, medium filtration, ensures a large, densely bubbled off-white head that is well retained and never falls below an inch of head. Moderate lacing, light yeast haziness towards the bottom. Almost a five for me, yet the lacing is incomplete, and more importantly, the filtration is just a shade too much.
Initial munich and pale malts combine with light colombus and/or cascade hops to produce a resinous, candied orange aroma, with sharp pine notes gracing the nose as well as a plethora of fruits, differing as the temperature of the beer changes, but such things as mango, canteloupe, peaches, nectarines, tangerines, watermelon even. A lovely, spicy, fresh dill and lush, cut grass note rides alongside the fruits and resin, enhancing the complexity. After warming and breathing fully, the aroma really takes on a canteloupe, verging on watermelon-like note. Not quite as strong as DdC’s chaman, but similar.
The flavor begins fairly aggressively hopped, with juicy fruits adding playfulness, malts deepening and softening the bitterness and a finale of resin, oranges and notes of alcohol. The biscuity caravienne malts seem to create a drying effect, which, in concert with the spicy chinooks, balances the sweet malts nicely. Medium to heavy on the munich malt, and a fair amount of acid, which is never a good combo, but the soft texture and incredibly complex hop flavors fend off the duo. Appropriate, rather tight, bottle conditioned carbonation gives a creamy consistency. Full of quality ingredients, and lots of them. Alcohol is well-concealed, little to no yeast apparency.

Aroma is nice and hoppy, like a spruce tree just recieved a savage beating, but it has some nice sweetness too, almost like pineapple. Flavor is also all hops until you get to the finish, which leaves a touch of lingering sweetness on your tongue. could have done more with the malt here. Overall a pretty good beer.

bomber courtesy of Fordest, thanks Sean. pour is a rich copper amber with a fluffy off-white head, which settles to excellent lace. aroma is a mix of grapefruit and pine. flavor is buttery and malty with dry bitter hops on the tail. a better than average IPA and I found it very enjoyable.

Pours a clody dark orange with an extremely large rocky pale yellow head. Strong aroma of flower and pine hops with nice earthy notes. Sweet taste with strong notes of sharp malts. Thin body, not overly dry.
