Mar 17, 2007 bomber from Saarlander, thanks Aaron. as expected a big floral & pine nose. appearance is a clear light amber with a short lived head and some spotty lace. flavor is all about the hops with some sweet malt just lurking around in the background. while very drinkable, the blend of hops seemed to be fighting against one another. the intent may have been to add complexity, but in the end, it seemed a bit muddled.

Jul 30, 2006 On tap @ Pizza Port Carlsbad poured a clear light copper with a lasting amber head. Aromas of carmel, earthiness and pine. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of carmel, pine, earthiness and a hint of grapefruit with a lingering bitter finish.

Feb 27, 2007 Hazy dark amber with a large head, good lacing and retention. Aroma is very fruity with grapefruit and mangoes, but also notes of pine, resin and caramel. Flavor brings this, it’s all about the hops. Another PNW monster, but this one is well put together.

Jun 18, 2009 Bottle. Always good, had a few times now. Love some west coast IPA. balanced citrus hops with smooth malt make this great to drink. A bunch of juicy hops in here too. Really good.

Jul 30, 2007 Bomber. Hazy gold with a white head. Grapefruit and pine nose, malt seems to be an afterthought. Very bitter grapefruit rind flavor, just a hint of sweet malt. Nice!

Feb 14, 2007 Nose is peachy mango. A sweeter flavored IPA. I also detect some tobacco notes. Not super bitter as some IPA’s come across. Nonetheless, a good effort, by a highly regarded brewer.

Aug 5, 2007 Cloudy orange color with a decent white head with some sticky lacing. Big hoppy flavors and aromas. Grapefruit flavors predominate. A nice malty smooth complexion to give this one some backbone. Bordering on a double ipa for me. You are left with some sweetness. Glad I smuggled this one back from SD so I could finally try it.

Jan 29, 2008 Bottle, 22oz. (yet another beauty from the_epeeist). Pours a hazy, orange-golden body, with a medium sized, off-white head. Hop-dominated aroma with pine, resin and citrusy fruityness, but there’s also room for a generous amount of malty flavors like beef-stock and sugar. Lots of bitterness in the flavor, piney and resiny, and sure malty too. Medium to full body, quite effervescent for an IPA. Quite a good dash of sweetness balances the bitterness in a nice way, leaving a pleasant finish. Sure a drinkable and pleasant IPA, dangerously hiding the alcohol, and begging you to have more.
