Commercial Description:
This mighty Ale has a medium maltness and body with an assertive hop flavor and aroma. It's dry-hopped for an incredible floral and citrus hop bouquet that contributes sweet notes to the final product. Over two pounds of hops per barrel goes into every batch.

Draft at the brewpub. Amber color. Nice citrus aroma. Flavor seems more a mix of citrus & pine. Just excellent.

Bomber from Aspidites, shared with my girlfriend Cyn. Pours orange with a big puffy head. Nose is hoppy with big citrus and pine. Taste is piney, with hints of citrus, puckering grapefruit. Really nice rich citrus flavor, even though I probably should have opened this a ways back. Really tasty IPA, look forward to trying this fresh.

Draught - Bright orange w/ creamy, diminishing white head. Nice lacing. Lots of pine, grapefruit and honeysuckle in the aroma. Medium bodied w/ a smooth mouthfeel. Almost a perfect balance of malt and hops, the floral essence of the hops is really front and center. Resinous pine and citrus flavors abound. Finish has a dry and slight mineral quality w/ a lingering citrus rind bitterness.

Secon time having this because I think I had a bad glass, I now thinkk it was a different beer that I had. The color is a golden copper with a decent off white head. Nose is quite hoppy with pine and floral notes. The flavor is smooth malt in addition to the biting hop influence. Clean, smooth finish.
