leems (147), Portland, Oregon, USA Jun 29, 2009 22oz bottle, great light amber pour. Aroma is all floral and citrus. Flavor is the same but with a hint of malt and a tiny bit of alcohol. This is very drinkable for the bigness of it, something I return to again and again. darn1207 (530), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Jun 28, 2009 from an old tasting note: bomber from john’s marketplace in portland. gold pour with a hint of amber. floral citrus hop and caramel malt aroma. citrus rind and a light bitterness. creamy. really well balanced. good stuff. K8 Crit (2399), New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada Jun 26, 2009 Hazy amber, short lived beige head.Great piney citrus hop nose. Lots of both hops and malt, but seems somewhat unblended KnN (715), Greenbelt, Maryland, USA Jun 22, 2009 Pours a golden amber color with a fluffy white head. Aroma is grapefruit and sweet malt all the way through. A little soapy, a little medicinal, a little bit woodsy. Not great, not terrible. chadje (129), Pasadena, California, USA Jun 12, 2009 Tap at Sasquatch beer festival, first beer I had so feel comfortable rating it. It was a nice light amger color with a good head. Smells of sweet citrus and very hoppy, nice. One of the better dbl IPA I have had. Brought a 22oz bottle home to drink later. JPDIPSO (4865), Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA Jun 11, 2009 Orange amber color with a diminished white head. Aromas of citric peel, pale malt, and a touch of floor cleaner. Toasted malt start. Oranges and ruby red grapefruit middle. Makes me think about grilled oranges. A bit too citric for me. Sammy (3934), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jun 7, 2009 Hopbomb style double IPA. Pour grapefruit with lots of white soapy head, leaving traces of lace, greater the later in the bottle. Gets better later in the bottle. Earthy and hop aroma, and it tastes most natural and earthy up front. Drinkable stuff, but this is an assault of hops melange, malted down to get it down. Not the greatest of the style. Creaminess making it all the more palatable. concretebeer (7), Washington, USA does not count Jun 7, 2009 Unusual IPA. Medium bitterness with a grapefruit finish. Very drinkable, the slight oddness to the flavor keeps it interesting throughout.
