Pours clear copper with off white head.
Hoppy aroma with fresh notes of citrus
Taste, hoppy, very sweet for an IPA with nice fruity palate (possible white raisins and other tropical fruits) and lasting sweet sugary mouthfeel. Amazing IPA, not overly bitter. gunhaver (1025), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 26, 2009 Bottle, courtesy someone. Copper brass pour, reddish, white head, thin lacing. Hoppy citrusy nose, some cottony dry elements. Some nice strong hops in the flavor, dry grainiy malts. Dry, crisp, not incredibly balanced but still very drinkable. killjoy966 (219), Washington, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 17, 2009 A classic West Coast IPA. Similar to Racer 5 but smells even better, like fresh hops. Palate get hit fairly strong, but not overly bitter (though my girlfriend disagrees). Could probably use a little more carbonation, but I think that was because of a sloppy pour. I only wish I made IPAs like this. jake65 (1698), Williston, North Dakota, USA

Aroma of florals and citrus. Strong. Tastes more light in the floral hops and heavier in citrus. Some caramel and even a light wheaty element. Nice. jkwalking05 (1483), Arlington, Texas, USA

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 18/20 | Jan 17, 2009 Bomber. Pours lightly hazy copper with a lacy white head. Sweet grapefruit, mango, toffee, pineapple and grass aroma. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Sweet grapefruit, mango, nuts, peach taste. Nicely but not overly bitter finish. For whatever reason, this beer hits me just right. If I could brew an IPA like this, I might just stop buying IPAs.
