Beerman6686 (816), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 3, 2008 Poured a golden cloudy color with a small white head. Aroma was full of citrus hops, really fresh smelling and got me excited. Flavor not not quite as enticing as the aroma, malts get in the way a bit, but overall still pretty bitter, citrusy/pineapple mostly with some pine flavor mixed in.
dkachur (1070), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA Dec 4, 2008 22 ounce bottle courtesy of riversideAK. Thanks Alex! Shared with Alraomon. Poursa an orange-yellow color with a medium head. Low head retention and moderate lacing. Huge fresh and leafy hop aroma with a few malty notes. Strong pineapple/grapefruit hop taste. Full bodied. Very nice. DuffMan (2139), Calgary, Alberta, Canada Nov 29, 2008 Bomber shared with Parksy and non-RB friends. Pours an orange-tinted golden with a dense cream-coloured head that displays remarkable retention and nice lacing. Big fresh fruity hop aromas (mango peel, citrus). This beer is all about the hops, but they are married to a nice sweet malt balance. Really nice. kosko20 (199), Bemidji, Minnesota, USA Nov 28, 2008 So I think this would have been better fresh. It seemed the hop aroma and flavor had gone away some and the hop characteristics were pretty weak. Nonetheless, it was still a decent brew but almost no bitterness. JoeMcPhee (3899), Jackson Heights, New York, USA Nov 28, 2008 Tap at Hamilton’s. Pale golden straw coloured beer with a thin white head. Softly hoppy aroma. Light pine and a light lemony citrus as well.. Very lean pale malts and a soft zesty hoppiness as well. Less resinous than the aroma would suggest. Soft lemon balm flavour with a soft pale malt sweetness. Very light herbal bitterness. Fruity with just a touch of resinousness on the back. It’s a light brew, but a pretty decent one. Hairofthedog (418), San Diego, California, USA Nov 27, 2008 The aroma was fruity and slightly maltywith hints of peaches and grapefruits. The beer poured a clear, medium brown color with thin lasting head and lacing. The flavor was lightly malty with citrus, peach, and a slight hint of pine. The mouthfeel was light to medium bodied and good carbonation. A really good beer!
