COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Torpedo is an assertive American IPA deep reddish-gold in color, with a smooth and bready malt presence and over-the-top hop aromas. The beer has a solid bitterness and a massive hop flavor, yet remains easy drinking with a pleasant dry finish.

Poured from a bottle into a pint glass. Pours a clear copper with a small head and some lacing. Aroma is moderate hopiness with a hint of sweetness. Hoppy upfront taste that leaves palate cleanly. Average carbonation that leaves a small bite.

A light sweet aroma. Such a full flovour it is intense, slight sweetness, citrus, a lil toffee. Nice light brown colour. A good IPA.

I may have had an old beer when I had this because it seemed as though it had lost a lot of its hop flavor. Mine was very malty and almost a bit skunky (age may have caused the off flavors?)

This beer is one of the best I’ve tasted in ages from America. It pours nice with an perfect amount of heady foam, as soon as you start to pour it you sniff the hops from an arms length away. Heavy Citrus, floral, herbs and bitterness. Feelings of a green blooming spring. Taste is light sweet, medium bitter and light dryness. Didn’t find any sediment. Strongly recommend you try this.

Perfect taste of citrus-y hops and malt backbone. May be one of if not the best IPA I have ever had. Excellent all around.

beaz1591 (179) - Omaha, Nebraska, USA - MAY 7, 2013
IPA glass. Pours a reddish gold with a thick head and lots of lacing. Odors of citrus and a great odor of hops. Probably one of the best IPAs I have had. A great balance of hops, citrus and other ingredients. A very smooth drinking beer.

Delicious and well balanced IPA. Lots of hops but plenty of malty sweetness to balance it.
