blizzardlover (43), Minnesota, USA Dec 23, 2008 Pours a crystal amber color, with a small off-white head. First drink is strong, it hits you between the eyes. Sour, velvet, LOTS of hop. Floral. Alcohol present, but not overwhelming. Some carmel flavor. Very rich. Honey and grape fruit. Nice beer. DalzAle (474), Eden Prairie, Minnesota, USA Dec 19, 2008 22 oz. Bomber. Poured a crisp and clear dark orange color with a quarter inch head. Very bitter and grapefruity aroma. Slick and very syrupy mouthfeel. Flavors of vanilla, orange and a lingering warm alcohol aftertaste. A good beer to be shared with groups of hopheads. hombrepalo (726), Chicago, Illinois, USA Dec 19, 2008 Bomber, Hazy orange colored with a medium sized white head. Sweet aroma of flowers, fruits, malts and hops. Sweet flavor of malts, fruits, hops and grape fruits, crisp, wet, juicy.

Moggman (187), Columbus, Ohio, USA Dec 12, 2008 Bottle. Pours amber with off white head. Aroma is pine and citrus hops with slight undertones of caramel malts. Flavor is hoppy, but not as over the top as some other Double IPAs. Good balance, bitter finish. BigBang (210), Indiana, USA Dec 12, 2008 Pours amber with frothy, creamy 2 finger head. Aroma - hmmm... hops? piney, a little malt sweetness but not over the top at all. Flavor is the same. The malt is not as dominant as other DIPAs, which is really nice. Definite bitter aftertaste with a little burn. This beer is dangerously smooth for 10% ABV. Very good offering. taalhiker (179), Dayton, Ohio, USA Dec 12, 2008 From bottle. Poured clear copper/orange with minimal head. Lots of citrusy hops. Not as hoppy on the palate as expected. Good balance but not overly malty. Decent finish. Nice brew for $8.
