Tasted from a 22oz. bomber. It poured cloudy golden color with a full, frothy head. Bright hop-citron aroma. Bold fruity-hop taste.

Had it out of a bomber, poured a hazy orange hue, with a frothy head and uneven lacing, and a hop sour aroma. The taste is a smooth cascade hop delight with a smoother finish.

Draft at Moriartys. Cloudy light brown pour with a large pillowy white head. Very sharp bitter hop flavors. Tree bark. Dried grass. Pinecones. Varnish. Can feel each of those 78 IBUs as little razor blades on my tongue. Only tasting dry hops and not much else. I’ve had too many high hopped beers from other brewers that know how to balance and deepen hop-only styles (Founders, Dogfish Head and Russian River jump to mind.) Eventually the tongue numbs and it feels more refreshing, but still feels too harsh and unrefined.

I really enjoyed this beer. Great hop flavor, grapefruit, and a smooth finish.

Great and solid West Coast IPA. Red to orange with big head. Aroma is mild hops. Bland.

Chilled brown bomber poured into a snifter at a JStax tasting. Pours cloudy murky golden. Hop aroma, taste is complex herbal pine and finishes bitter. Not for me.

Poured a hazy copper with a white head of foam. The aroma has a weird maple sausage thing going on. Sweet and floral taste. Unfortunately the sausage taste doesn’t follow through to the taste.

Bottle, Spain, it has lost all the freshness of the hops, worn, cardboard, I want to try this beer with all its splendor, it has to be very refreshing, I bought it in a bar in Spain, it has passed its freshness date.

Bottle from EricTeusik! Pours hazy gold with a pillow of white head. The fresh hop aroma of this one started wafting out as it was poured. Grapefruit, pine, a bit of bubblegum. Taste is the same and it’s great! Nice, sweet tart bite with a crisp finish. This is a beautiful IPA.

Bomber, alone at home. Poured into a tulip glass. ABV 7% Pours a slighty hazy orange colour beer, with two fingers of soapy, white head. Good retention, light lacing left on the glass. Aromas of grass, citrus, sugars, grapefruit. Lots if aromas in here, every time I swirl my glass I get another. Bitter taste upfront, then some fruity sweetness comes in to balance it a bit and on the aftertaste becomes masivelly bitter again, with a long finish too. No sign of the alcohol on the flavour. Very good amount of carbonation, on a medium to thick body. Overall, this was a great beer, I wonder how much more better it would be if it was fresher.
