Every aerial photo and recon report indicate a defensive arsenal in the D, and perhaps negative C, categories. There’s also some anti-aircraft squadrons. They can send up an ack-ack umbrella high enough to make any attack ineffective.

I don’t have a clue what you’re talkin’ about, Phil. Not a fucking clue. I have a shell the size of a fist in my head. Pork Chop Hill. The only way I can make this goddamn toupee to stay on is by magnetizing the entire upper left quadrant of my skull, so you just go ahead and do what you do.

Pours very nice, beautiful amber color with a decent head that sticks to the glass. Aroma is a bit of hops, a bit citrusy. Taste isn’t bad, but nothing exceptional. Smooth going down with a bitter aftertaste, but not offensive. I like it, but don’t love it.

Compliments of Good Ole Uncle Seve! Pours a light copper color with a nice ring of white head around the top that holds nicely. Aroma is mild yet hoppy. Nice hoppy flavor that is a bit floral, not overwhelming. Mouth feel is nice and full. Back side bitttering is good. Not a bad beer to sit back and drink!

Compliments of Steve-o, beer pimp king. Poured from 12 oz bottle a nice, somewhat hazy, yet medium amberish hue with a large white craggy foamy head. Aroma was decent, lightly hoppish, with ocean water and Scottish grassy hones. Flavours was balanced, not overly hammered, fairly balanced. What I would consider a "light" IPA, perhaps sessionable beer, and drinkable.

It is a slightly hazy amber color with a medium off-white head and a citrus hop aroma. The initial taste is a mildly sweet wheat, then it fades to a long, bitter finish.

Poured from bottle into tall glass. Very clear burnished amber, with off-white head and slight lacing. Very fruity, with some bread dough, caramel and light English hops. Some caramel, toast and fruit, but strong spicy bitterness comes through especially at the finish. However, there is not much actual hop taste to back up the bitterness. Moderately high carbonation, medium body, very dry finish. Overall, A little too much bitterness in comparison to the flavor profile. But still a good example of an English IPA.

Draft: Pours a dark orange with a large beige head. Nice sheet lacing. Aroma is hoppy, although rather modest in intensity. Florals, citrus, and faintly sweet. Flavor is much more crisp with hops than the aroma would suggest. Florals and grapefruit, some caramel sweetness before a resiny/floral finish. Not bad, but not really anything special.

Bottle courtesy of Fratto. Hazy yellow orange. Slightly musty smell with some hops. Dry taste with some amounts of hop sweetness. Plain.
