Oct 15, 2009 24 oz. Bottle of 13th release. Pours clear bright orange with a frothy and bubbly head; great lacing on the glass. Earthy pine dominates the aroma with some vanilla, bread and a touch of lemon. A bit of a sweet jasmine tea flavor then a very clean bitter finish. A little bit of horse barn on the finish. Decent carb and nice body.

Oct 15, 2009 Bomber. Very lively in pour with a clear amber color with a thick creamy head that stays. The head is off white. Aroma is grassy and citrusy. Flavor is sweet hoppy with some fruit bitter throughout. Finish lingers bitter sweet and long. Alcohol very well hidden. Tight, straight forward, refreshing, and evenly balanced with malt depth in backdrop.

Oct 11, 2009 24 oz bottle from Princeton’s, 13th release. Dark golden pour, thick puffy head, very nice lacing. Hoppy aroma with some piney elements to it. Flavor is not too bitter but still has great hops to it, the pine also comes through here as does the spice. Subtly bitter finish. Very smooth beer for all the hops going on in it.

Oct 10, 2009 24 oz bottle. 13th release. Aroma of citrus, apricot, pine. Nice amber hue, good head retention and lacing. Nice even balance between malt and hops. Pleasant bitterness. Not as much character as I was expecting, however. Tastes pretty mild for the style. Good IPA, but not as good as their Torpedo or Anniversary Ales (both of which are in the IPA style as well). I was expecting something better than those given the size of the bottle and the touting of the label, but it’s much milder than those beers. Definitely good, just not excellent.

Oct 10, 2009 24oz. bottle. Outstanding spicy floral aroma. Puffy beige head stayed atop the beer forever, leaving thick lace. Reddish gold in color--a very pretty beer. Taste is sharply tart, full of spicy citrus hops. The malt presence is a deeply buried semi-sweet, almost rooty backbone. The flavor clings to the tongue, but never presents anything off-balance. This has been one of my favorite beers!
