Dec 26, 2008 22 oz bottle. Pours a orange color with a small head. Aroma is slightly hoppy, with a touch of malt to it. Flavor is grapefruit, flowers, with a touch of malts and a warm citrus finish. Overall it is a strange, interesting brew.

Dec 23, 2008 22 oz bomber-clear orange color w/a slight off white head. Moderate hop aroma. This beer has some hops on the front end, got a little kick to it. Follows this up w/a somewhat sweet malt finish, it’s almost like an IPA, an APA, & a Belgian. It’s unique, I’ll give it that. I’m glad I tried it, but I would’tt really drink this that much, style was too confused. Either make an IPA or make a Belgian; Don’t try to do both.

Dec 23, 2008 Bomber. This big bad boy was made for those that like their hops and massive malt body over the top. The body was hazy dark bronze with a large khaki colored head. The aroma was strong grapefruit with some almonds. There was also some woody dryness and strawberries. The taste was woody grapefruit with some walnuts. A hot peach brandy finish was not pleasant. Bitter and woody with too much carbonation, this was too much for me.

Dec 22, 2008 Bottle shared with blankboy, jerc & mabel - courtesy of jerc & mabel. Clear golden-amber with a small white head. Aroma - mmmm, love those hops - Cascade-o-rama! Medium bodied. Flavour is tasty, very hop-forward but also well balanced. Very solid.

Dec 21, 2008 Golden pour with white head and lace. Grapefruit dominates the nose. Very evergreen bitter. Creamy full bodied beer. A beer on the edge of being very damn good. Would I drink it again. Ale yes.

Dec 21, 2008 22oz bottle poured into a Trappist glass. I have not had the opportunity to use my Trappist glass in a while. AATTC pours murky copper in color with a small thin head that persists longer than usual. This is not a particularly beautiful beer. The aroma contains grapefruit, spicy hop resin, honey and either peaches or cantelope. The sweetness detracts from the overall aroma but enough to ruin my anticipation. The flavor mirrors the aroma quite closely. The hops do not make as strong of an appearance as the aroma would suggest though. The body is not flat but somehow the finish seems so. This is a nice beer but in two weeks I will not remember it without reading my notes.

Dec 21, 2008 Pours a really nice copper color with a fluffy head. Aroma is a very pleasant sweet hops. Flavor is dominated by the hops, but has a nice cantelope sweetness. Palate was very smooth and has a nice finish. Overall, I was very impressed - but is this an American Strong Ale? Seemed much more like an IPA.
