Dec 15, 2008 Pours golden with white head. Light hoppy aroma. Nice piney hop taste. A little too thin. Wast expecting more hop bite. Overall just OK.

Poured hazy golden color with an average frothy off-white head that lasted with excellent lacing. Moderate to heavy sour citrus hoppy aroma. Medium to full body with a oily slick texture. Moderate to heavy bitter flavor with a moderate to heavy bittersweet finish of medium to long duration.
Very good brew.

Dec 14, 2008 Bottle from my brother - Vac. Poured a hazy pale with a frothy white head. Huge pine aroma like walking through a fresh cut pine field. Citrus and floral aromas in the background. More pine in the flavor with a nice malt balance. Medium body and a big hop bitterness. A great IPA!!

Dec 10, 2008 Bomber from Stephanje the recidivist of generousity. The richness of fresh hops is apparent from the instant the cap is removed. A cloudy orange gold. A rocky crater filled head settles in its own time. Lacing is stretched and webby. Body is medium plus. citry=ussy hops are presented as if eating a grapefruit sprinkled liberally with sugar. A long biting bitter finish prevails and leaves one a bit breathless.
A lovely brew that appeared as if on wings. Thanks again Stefan.

Dec 5, 2008 22 oz bottle. Pours a clear light golden yellow with a frothy white head that retains well and laces the glass.
The aroma is strong bright fruity piney hops with a touch of bready malts in the background.
The flavor is all hops - it is strong resiney tarry bitter hops. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with soft watery carbonation.
Overall, I remember liking this better the first time I had it. This one is an unbalanced hop bomb - which is fine, but I am not caring for the hop flavors as much this time around. I remember it tasting fruitier and pinier.

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.
