| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 28, 2009 Bomber poured into glass. Very light color of orange and yellow. Small head and HUGE aroma of fruit. The first sip was like a fruit cocktail of pear, white peach, pineapple and guava. Amazing flavor, remarkably clean and refreshing. Not overly bitter, just awesome balance. TheEpeeist (1496), Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, USA

| 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Nov 21, 2009 Bottle courtesy of bret27. Pours a light gold color with a frothy off-white head. The lightness is actually enticing considering the darker hues of so many awful, oversweet crystal malt bomb IPAs. Aroma is just ridiculous. A huge wave of tropical fruits explodes from the glass. Peach syrup, tangerines, passionfruit, grapefruit, pineapple; I really can’t stop smelling this. The taste is, thankfully, pretty much identical to the aroma, so much so that it was hard to tell when I had stopped inhaling and started imbibing. Fruit salad with a great resinous medium bitterness. Oh and I was so fixated on the fruitiness that I almost didn’t notice the rye, which works to spice up (pun intended) the malt base, which would otherwise be imperceivable. Insanely smooth and drinkable. Just a fantastic IPA. emacgee (1892), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Nov 18, 2009 Thanks smokepot23 for sharing. Pours a soft pale yellow with a two finger creamy white head. The nose is pungent, citrusy, fruity, very resinous and skunky. Flavor shows citrus rind, spicy, skunky flavors, very resinous oily feel, aroma is a bit better than the flavor. Palate is spicy with a nice medium bitterness that quickly dissipates. Rciesla (3900), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA

Huge floral grassy citrus body with a fresh cut lawn shavings resemblance. Hints of rye, grass, pine and a drying grapefruit. An Awesome IPA. egajdzis (3645), Spring Mount, Pennsylvania, USA
