3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a nice cloudy orange color with a big thick white head. The aroma is grapefruit, citrus and of coarse hops. Taste is fairly hoppy but not overly bitter, grapefruit and hosp are all I taste. Good solid IPA.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a mostly cloudy amberish orange color topped a by a small, foamy white head that leaves broken spots of lace behind. The aroma shows notes of orange and grapefruit citrus hops on top of a sweet toffee malt base. The flavor follows and is pretty well balanced between the toffee malts and the bitter orange and grapefruit hops. The hops seemed very fresh and sharp. Medium bodied and slightly cloying with good carbonation and a lengthy, bitter finish that is slightly sticky from all the hops. Pretty nice standard ipa, but nothing too crazy.

Bomber. Orange with thin lasting white head. Big bad Grapefruit and floral hops in the nose. Intense nose...smells weird in bottle but pouured smells powerful. Flavor is very boozy and floral with also big grape fruit. Sweet througout with lighter IPA bite than expected from big hop nose and taste. Light caramel sweet in far backdrop gi ves brew an overall stickier texture I know and love....good brew!
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a very light orange color. Snow white head dissipates somewhat quickly. Very fizzy. Lemony aroma with a touch of hay. Extreme hop flavors. Grapefruit. Very bitter at the end. Very fizzy on the palate. Light body. Overall not bad. Would prefer more malt to balance this out. WAY more bitter then 65 IBUs.
4.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
UPDATED: JUL 4, 2010 12oz bottle, two weeks old. Pours very hazy golden amber with a large foamy white head that leaves some very nice lacing and holds a good cap. The best looking IPA I’ve ever seen. Aroma is dank, pungent citrus, citrus rind, pine, floral hops, fair amount of yeast and bread for an IPA. Huge, attention-getting aroma. Big, immensely bitter flavor of resinous hops, citrus, rind, pine, grass, a touch of malt sweetness. Very nice bitter finish. Initial sips are almost painful, this is so bitter. Medium bodied, soft to medium carbonation, finishes a little sticky. An excellent IPA, but get ’em really fresh though as this one seems to fall apart quicker than others.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
Dark amber with a tall, cream colored head. Tart citrus aroma with a bitter finish. Thicker than I would expect. Powerful hops--a little taxing.
4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Very cloudy with wonderful lacing upon drink. Im not overall impressed with the taste and palate due to the bitter hops that leave an overwelming / lasting taste in the mouth. I’m an IPA guy and overall I like this IPA. Good... very good... not great!
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Clear, golden orange with a tight lasting whitish foam, some small floaties. Aroma is a thin maltiness, caramel, toast, mostly hoppy, spicy and herbal. Taste is strong hoppiness, spicy, pine, bitter, only a little sweet maltiness, not enough to hold up the bitterness.
