4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Via Matt. The beer pours to a clean amber body with a thick creamy white head. AWESOME lacing. The aroma is peaches, pineapple, citrus, Simcoe. The flavor is a nice dry fruity pineapple, peaches, nectarines, caramel. The palate is dry. Medium-bodied. Nice bite to it. Quite a good brew.

Drak amber color with a nice creamy head of lacing aroma is very nice. Sweet fruity aroma. Plenty of malt in there thought that makes this very solid in the aroma department. The flavor is different, must be the simcoe. Delicious chewy fruity hops. Very nice.

Pours a clear amber color, not much haze. Medium sized white fluffy head just hangin out. The aroma is incredible. I love simcoe hops so thats no suprise, beautiful bouquet of citrus fruits and crazy flowers. Flavor is tart, very bittersweet, lots more simcoe goodness. Very nice brew!

I,ve drank almost a case of this brew so far and damn if it does,nt seem to get hoppier! Luciously hoppy, juicey, piney citrusy nose with big, sweet, grainy malt underpinnings. Lagely fruity. An amber/copper colored body, lightly hazy but still nice to look at. Big hops are resiny, lip smackers, fruity, piney with some flowery notes as well, solidly backed by mildly sweet mal;ts, caramelly thick and lasting.Big bodied, bold, in yer face brew, 9% ? . Finish is sorta sweet with a well balanced bite, yer definately left wanting more! Weyerbacher has really pulled off one here, gotta give,m credit. A brew with west coast balls, from the east! Thank you! One rockin brew!
4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Pours a transparent amber orange with a dense, long-lasting, nicely-lacing frothy cream-colored head. Has a real nice fresh citrusy hoppy aroma with lots of sweet caramel malt for the perfect balance. Body starts with a sweet sticky caramel maltiness and big resiny piny grapefruit hop flavor. Finishes crisp and bittersweet with a floral citrus character masking the alcohol very well. Incredibly balanced and drinkable. A world class double IPA and one of the best I’ve ever had. Big thanks to slob and Numenor for the bottles!

(BIG THANKS TO DOCLOCK FOR HOOKING THIS UP)poured a rusty copper color with an off white head that left huge webbing on the sides of my snifter glass.i first whiff reminded me of the forests in northern california.pine,earth,and shrubs all greated my nose in a wonderful hop blast.the flavor contained the same forest qualities as the nose.plus a bit of caramel malts,pancake syrup,grapefruit,and alcohol.the mouthfeel was thick as a brick on this baby as well.the crew at weyerbacher came up with one serious brew!

Bottle: Courtesy of Eyedrinkale via trade. Aroma of pineapple, grapefruit, and pine. Pours a transparent amber with a soapy yellowish-white head. Llacing clings to the side of the glass. Big malt up front with lots of sweet citrus with grapefruit and pineapple. Hints of caramel. Finishes with equally large amounts of grapefruit and piney hops. Slightest touch of alcohol. Well balanced and well done. The best I’ve had from Weyerbacher.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bomber. Pours a nice copper color with some haziness. Tight white head that last. Aroma is resiny and piney, with some sweet malt. Flavor: Very fruity. Hoppy and resiny with some warming, but decently balanced. Overall, a very nice beer with some nice characteristics. I think it’s a bit sweet, but just barely so. Very nice flavors.

Medium at best floraly aroma,just a touch of malt in the background, orange amber color, whoa there it is, a completely satisfying full display of the simcoe hop fruity tangy hoppiness dominates the taste, a deep and wide bitterness finishes it off,the hop is so dominating the malt hardly has a chance,seems more like a big ass IPA then an Imperial. All these great hop brews popping up ,and yet this one is unique enough to be special
