Sep 18, 2008 Bomber. Poured fiery medium orange with a short cap of off-white head. The aroma picked up alcohol-fired caramel and grapefruit meat sweetness with floral and citrusy hoppage around.. not bad, but perhaps too boozy. The flavor had plenty of citrus as well, both in terms of sweetness and bitterness.. pine, grassy, and citrus bitterness rode through the finish, and again, everything was amplified by the boozage. Syrupy and heavier-bodied on the palate, really rockin’ the sweetness and alcohol strength on the back.. decent balance if you really grasp for it.

Sep 16, 2008 22oz bottle. Golden-amber pour with a nice frothy head. Looks tasty. Lots of grapefruit in the aroma along with a touch of pineapple. A little bit of a metallic/mineral note as well. The flavor does have some malt to it but the malt is overpowered with that same metallic/mineral presence. Not that it’s bad, just over powers the malt. Plenty of grapefruit and some earthy spice too boot. Medium body, semi-dry. A solid brew.

Sep 14, 2008 Pours with a golden orange with a white head that mostly diminishes over time. Aroma is of citrus fruits mainly oranges, and maybe some lemon, hops, and some yeast.
Flavor is hoppy. Slightly a sweet initial taste followed by bitter finish - pretty standard IPA in my opinion.
Not my favorite IPA, but decent nonetheless.

Aug 28, 2008 Bottle shared with Hogtown Harry, Blankboy, Jerc, Mabel, and GregClow, courtesy of Harry and Mr. Blank (two bottles). Dark orange, small white head. Resiny hop aroma - yum. Great hoppy taste - again resiny, oily. Awesome, loved it, my favourite style done very well.

Aug 25, 2008 Pours a gold/deep orange with frothy white head. Quite a nice IIPA, but pretty standard for the style. Grapefruit, orange peel, caramel malt, floral hops, and hints of bread. Tastes good, worth a try, but nothing special.

Aug 20, 2008 Amber in color with a small light brown head with almost no lacing. The aroma is of citrus, hops, and caramel with a hint of molasses. The flavor is hoppy with a somewhat sweet start and a bitter finish. The texture is syrupy. Not bad, but nothing special.
