May 27, 2008 Bomber. Pours a clear amber with one finger cream head. Nose is mild floral hops, malt and pine. Palate is Caramel malt upfront with come citrus and a bitter resin bite in the finish that lingers like the grim reaper. Medium mouth feel with nice lacing. An ok DIPA, a bit run of the mill.

May 27, 2008 650 ml bottle from Bevmo. Pours a translucent copper color with a big sudsy off white head. The aroma is moderate in strength with citrus, pine and a bit of sweet spruce. The flavor is hops forward with a fair biter bite, layered well beneath the biter hops is a bit of caramel and more pine. The mouthfeel is full and malty. The finish is medium in duration and dry. Overall: This is a good IIPA, but it seemed to me to be a just a tad one dimensional, relying on the biter hops just too much.

May 7, 2008 appears that this is being brewed again... crystal clear copper color with a thin off white head. floral hops hit the nose first... followed by citrus, light pine, brown sugar, sweet grains and some kind of fruitiness that i can’t place. surprisingly dry palate.. or not too sweet? flavors of wood, evergreen-y, tangerine pith and grainy sweetness. lightly bitter dry finish with a candy like aftertaste. medium body but it leaves a phlegmy texture in the back of my throat.

May 5, 2008 Bottle: Pours an opaque copper color with a tan head. Aroma, citrus, pine, caramel notes, some brown sugar. Flavor, caramel, a piny bitterness, big malty notes. Bottle was probably a bit past it’s prime, but still solid.

Apr 30, 2008 bottle from bevmo. Clear golden with a foamy white head. Citrus and mild pine aroma. Sweet slightly bitter taste. Not as good as when Green Flash brewed it.

Apr 29, 2008 22 oz. bottle from BevMo (Tucson) - Glad to see this beer is being brewed again. When Green Flash stopped brewing this I wasn’t sure when it would appear agian. Pours a hazy amber color with a 3/4 finger thick off white head. Very light spotty lacing. Aroma is big pine, citrus, and floral hops. Flavor is mostly hops with a touch of residual malt sweetness. Suprisingly, there is very little astringency to the aftertaste. Medium body. Alcohol isn’t overbearing. Overall, a decent 2IPA.

Apr 26, 2008 Orange pour with minimal fizzy white head. Good hoppy and citrus aroma. First drink was okay, almost sweet and some spicy hops. Finish was bitter and soapy tasting. I couldn’t get the soap flavor out of my mouth. It really ruined the rest of the experience, which wasn’t bad.

Apr 21, 2008 Smells a bit hoppy. Flavor has some bite to it. A bit too strong in alcohol prescense and ended up giving me a bit of a headache so a lower overall score.
