LilKem (1210), Marietta, Ohio, USA Aug 2, 2007 string hop aroma with some oats and maple and lots of citrus. kind of too strong with a little ick involved. a little sticky and weird. NobleSquirrel (1100), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jul 29, 2007 this was an okay dipa. hoppy flavor, though a bit lighter bodied than I’d expect. Could have used more umph, but who knows... HopsOrDie (687), New Lenox, Illinois, USA Jul 26, 2007 Pours deep copper with an off white head. Mostly malty aroma, which is a little disappointing. Flavor has a little earthy hop flavor and a balancing malt profile. Too little flavor hops to make this a DIPA. Alcohol is well hidden, but not sure if this is worthy of a re-buy. tomthompson89 (1459), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jul 24, 2007 nice orange color, decent head very piney nose big bitter hop taste no sweeter malts to balance it, intresting but not great, at beer bistro theisti (1640), Leawood, Kansas, USA Jul 19, 2007 22 oz. Bomber at Waldo Pizza in KCMO. Pour is a orange copper with a pretty solid medium head off-white head. Aroma was pine hops and quite a bit of malt as well. Taste is a nice blend of the hops and malt, with really nothing special standing out. A very solidly made DIPA, though not a hop bomb by any stretch of the imagination. Rictus (126), Camdenton, Missouri, USA Jul 17, 2007 Allergies ect... Pretty bubbly copper, typical of IPAs and IIPAs. A big, soft bitterness. Kind of like a hop teddy bear. Not really big, maybe it’s more of a regular IPA than an Imperial one. Caramel in the sweetness. Always had a hard time with subtleties of an IPA. I’ll drink it again definately. The mouthfeel is mediocre. Can’t describe why just is. I’m gonna go finish off the bomber now. Dough77 (771), Aurora, Illinois, USA Jul 12, 2007 Got another bottle of this that I’ll rate soon, but this first one was boring. Not completely, its probably just that I’m in a huge IPA zone and been drinking lots of my favorits lately. But as for first impressions this one failed to do much. Pour is gold and amberish light white head. Aroma of slight citrus with some pine. The malts are a little overpowering for my liking. ho hum. HopHeadinAZ (120), USA Jul 10, 2007 22oz Bottle: Poured a hazy orange/copper with a huge amount of stiff head. The aroma Is toffee driven with hints of citrus and some tropical fruits. Citrus and some type of off flavor are present in my sample along with noticeable alcohol. The mouth feel is almost unpleasant, prickly and sharp. Unfortunately not one of my favorites.
