Jul 10, 2009 22 oz bottle - straight from the bottle (I know, I know). Aroma is hops, heavy on the malts, and a touch of alcohol. Flavor is pretty hoppy, with notes of malts, and a moderate alcohol warming finish.

Jul 6, 2009 Extra foamy rocky head. Deep orange body. Lots of bubbles, but not oeverly carbonated. Aoma of fresh hops, albeit not in your face as would be expected for an IIPA. Flavor is well balanced at first sip. Sure, there are obviously lots of hops there, but the malt profile rounds it off nicely. Of the IIPA that I’ve head this one is probably one of my most enjoyable ones, though it ain’t no PtE!!

Jun 29, 2009 22 oz bottle via Hagen. Pours a semi hazy copper with a large beige head, leaves a moderate amount of lace as it comes down. Nose is fruity esters, pineapple, apricot, orange. Tastes like it smells with some pine and orange peel in the aftertaste. A bit metallic in the finish. Body is medium/full. Carbonation is moderate. This is quite average.

Jun 13, 2009 Bomber pours a dirty, murky, orange/brown body with a medium ecru head. Aroma is grassy and grapefruity citrus. Medium body and carbonation with a hop oil bite. Taste has an edgy bitter hoppiness, with a pronounced grassuness and some citrus rind. Some meaty caramel emerges midway, as does some pink grapefruit sweetness. Finishes grassy and grainy. Pretty good, but i was hoping for better in an anniversary beer.

Jun 13, 2009 My wife said the aroma contains notes of soy sauce and yeast; I noted a lot of rich breadiness and dough. She didn’t taste, but I did: It is definitely earthy, with quite a salty kick, and some hops, but the hops are hiding - a lot of emphasis was on the malts, apparently. Overall, it’s good, tasty, interesting, and quite the ABV.

Jun 11, 2009 Amber color with a moderate cream colored head. Aromas are hop centric with pine and a bit of apricot. Full feel. Pale malts, and a earthy hops in the flavors. Bitterness continues to build throughout the experience. I gets a bit to much by the end and I start to beg for a reprieve. A bitter hopshead brew.
