Feb 10, 2007 Deep amber-gold, nice puffy head. Nose HUGELY hoppy, traditional West Coast IIPA-esque blast of citrus and bitterness. First impression is a spectacular mouthfeel, incredibly rich and creamy, explodes around the mouth with luscious hoppy grapefruit. Bitterness is wonderfully balanced with chewy, sweet malts, some peppery spiciness there as well. Great balance. Insanely drinkable. Yum.

Feb 9, 2007 I instantly smelled the hops once I opened the bottle. I tasted pine and grapefruit. Good lacing left on the glass.

Feb 7, 2007 Updated: Jul 9, 2007Nice clear amber pour with orange hues and a strange near-neon green tinge to it. Adequate lacing left behind by a creamy light beige head, decent retention. Pine and grapefruit aroma, very lively. That’s pretty much it. Fresh, basic. Smells a little spicy and peppery. Flavor: now I see why this has good ratings. Extremely well balanced and drinkable. Soft citric hops, sufficient malt. Nice drying and agreeable finish. Full mouthfeel, very balanced palate. Pretty tasty DIPA.

Jan 28, 2007 Amber. 1cm of creamy, light an head. Nose of resinous cannibus, light sweetness, pine trees, green plant leaves, subtle tangerines. Same flavors wih some sweet malt. A touch of soap as it warms. Very nice on the palate- medium/full body, smooth with enough carbonation to balance. Almost sessionable, solid.

Jan 27, 2007 Poured a copper with orange hues with a very foamy and lasting white head. Laced beautifully down the sides with the speckled remnants of hops. The aroma was lemony with hints of ginger. Flavor was the same, bitter and hoppy, but citrus and again hints of ginger. Finish was smoother than other IIPAs.

Jan 15, 2007 Thanks to MrBendo for this awesome Reaper. I barely cracked the cap and the huge hop aroma came roaring out. Great looking pour. Medium amber with a good sized head. Aroma of big hops, pineapple, grapefruit. Flavor of bitter hops, pine, light malts. I love the Reaper beers. What a great brewer.

Jan 3, 2007 From bomber. Pours a clear orange with large off white head. Resiny citrus in the nose. Flavor follows with sweet malt balancing and a bitter finish. Palate is drinkable. Nice.

Jan 3, 2007 very bronze copper like color. Very hoppy. Didn’t care for this one too much. I think the bottle was past its date. will try this again soon to re evaluate. had sort of a "tinny" taste to it. not at all pleasing.
