Sep 12, 2005 bottle. Thanks Goldorak. copper boddy with red tinges and a fluffy white head. aroma is sweet hops, bread, yeast, and a trace amount of alcohol. body starts out with a whack of grapefruit citrus hops leading into a balance of biscuit malt and warm alcohol. some sweet malt on the lips and sharp hops in the finish. pretty good.

Sep 6, 2005 (bottle carted home from New Hampshire). Hazy gold with smallish white head. Lovely floral hops aroma. Flavor is well balanced between hops and malt. It really doesn’t come across as overly hoppy. Outstanding "imperial" IPA.

Aug 25, 2005 Wow, very nice! This one is a IPA lover’s dream Nice and hoppy, subtle malt backing, a big punch of hoppy aroma, loads of citrus, grass, sweetness, subtle alcohol in the nose. Very well crafted. Head is gone in a flash, especially in a big snifter glass, but good experience.

Aug 24, 2005 Bright orange color with thin but heavy cream white head. Nice lacing. Aroma is floral and sharp. Flavor is floral, full and resiny. Tasty stuff.

Aug 19, 2005 Hazy orange color with lots of floaties, thick rocky white head. Excellent aroma and flavor of spicy and citrusy hops with caramel and a bitter finish. Light to medium body with an oily texture and moderate carbonation.

Aug 18, 2005 Head dissipates very quickly. Nice Golden Color. Citrus Peachy sweet taste before the bitter of the IPA kicks in. The bitterness expands nicely at the tail. Nice signature for an IPA.

Aug 18, 2005 Updated: Aug 2, 2007Update from a 2007 bomber. Way better than the 06 and a good amount better than the fresh 05. 2005 bomber. Pours a hazy deep gold/ medium orange with a very nice fluffy head and good lace. Everything else reminded me of last years. The appearance has just gotten a lot better.
2004: Red color with slight head, and lots of floaty hops and some yeast. Lots of hoppy aromas, with minimal malt. Flavor is loaded with lots of citrus and floral hops with some piney flavors toward the end. Great beer, but im not crazy about the floating hops.
