Jun 1, 2009 Bomber from the Binny’s in Orland Park, IL: This poured a deep copper body with a tall manilla head - no lace. The aroma was rich with sweet caramel, countered by a sturdy yellow grapefruit, earth, zest, and light pine hop scents. It’s a big beer, and surprizingly well balanced for a DIPA, the hoppy bitterness rearing its head near the end and lasting through the prolonged dry, bitter, peppery finish. The alcohol remained hidden the whole time and I would have thought this was a straight IPA had I not known better. Quality stuff.

May 18, 2009 Pours a hazy bronze with a decent head.
Aroma is a mild hop/malt combo.
So far ok,
Taste starts like a typical IIPA then quickly changes to a WTF is this earthy chewing on weed stems finish. Got a little better as it warmed. The malt came out but ZERO pine ZERO citrus BBQ chips saved it from being drain pour. $6 a bomber. Save yer $.

May 8, 2009 Deep, hazy amber pour with thick off-white head. Light, spicey hops in the aroma, some caramel malt. Flavor starts nice and hoppy, then finishes with a wierd beef jerky note. Kind of an infected, home brewish note. Maybe smoke? Whatever, it’s strange

Apr 25, 2009 Pours a translucent golden amber with contrasting white head. Head dissipates quickly.
Nose is decidedly grapefruit & See’s candies.
Palate is a good balance of both big malt and big hop. Prickly sweetness on the finish, reminds me of cinnamon and brown sugar. Overall it has a candied quality also, like many good IPA’s.

Apr 23, 2009 Sweet malt in the aroma and body with a strong bitter finish, but none of the pine or citrus I hope for in a Double. More hops and less malt please. It has a peculiar smoke flavor that is unsettling. Kind of dirty... maybe a bad keg? Sampled at Naja’s IPA fest.

Apr 13, 2009 ~Cloudy orange amber with quickly diminishing white head.
~Citrus grapefruit scent with hefty amount of malts. Smells almost like lipton ice tea in a good way.
~Starts super sweet and quickly turns bitter. The transition from sweet to bitter is really enjoyable.
~Medium feel. Lasting bitter finish.
~Good DIPA!

Apr 12, 2009 Pours orange-amber with a controllable head. Hoppy, grapefruit aroma and also some tea aroma. Flavor is bold, very hoppy with an odd sweet tea flavor before the predictable bitter finish. Palate is spritzy, nice. Overall, good to very good.
