JohnC (2227), Mission Viejo, California, USA Dec 27, 2007 Looks like a pilsner, clear gold, white head, nice hoppy flavor and aroma. At $2.79 per bomber, it’s a pretty good deal. kp (8400), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Dec 17, 2007 Date: 12/15/2007

thooper41 (384), Oregon, USA Dec 17, 2007 12oz bottle: golden amber, aroma had a citrus hop smell. flavor had decent hop bite but wasnt over the top. solid ipa. brianprentiss (473), Portland, Oregon, USA Dec 16, 2007 I’m really surprised by how low this beer is ranking. It’s a really solid ipa, somewhat fruity rather than hoppy, so maybe it’s not a traditional ipa, but it’s a great beer. ChainGangGuy (2522), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA Dec 16, 2007 Appearance: Pours a clear, light orange-hued body with a lush, bubby off-white head.
Smell: Pleasantly aromatic nose of citrus and soap with a mild addition of caramel malts.
Taste: Juicy citrus flavors of lemon and tangerine. Only a faint hint of caramel as not too much maltiness shows up. There’s a medium bitterness which drops out for a pretty clean, light finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: It could use a bit more of everything, but as it stands it’s still a decent, easy drinking light IPA. Shag (1922), Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA Dec 16, 2007 This beer poured an orange color. A faint lemon and pine aroma. The flavor is only somewhat bitter with some lemons and grapefuit showing. This one seemed rather one dimensional and not very complex. Overall a sub par IPA. CaptainCougar (5379), Rockville, Maryland, USA Dec 15, 2007 Pours a transparent bright bronze with a thin, stringy-lacing white head. Aroma of slight grainy malts and some lemon citrus hops. Starts lightly sweet and pale malty with some earthy piny bittering hops toward a drier, bittersweet. This needs a bigger, more assertive hop presence, but it’s still quite drinkable. joohefner (380), Isla Vista, California, USA Dec 14, 2007 clear gold amber with a medium small head. woody orange resin aroma. medium light body. light bitterness and citrus hops with a grassy caramel malt. okay but a little light dont know if i’d really call it a IPA
