Medium golden with big head. Fresh pine, floral perfume hop aroma and taste. Underbalanced, but lovely. Dry, bitter finish.

Clear golden with medium off white head. Aroma has notes of grapefruit, hops and caramel. Soft mouthfeel. Sweet hoppy flavor with notes of grapefruit and caramel. Ends bitter.

Bottle. Copper coloured with a foamy creamwhite head. A massive hoppylicious smell of pine, fruit and flowers. Flavour is bitter, almost like soap with a little liquorice added. Nice and dry, this is really a great beer.

Big is definitely a way to describe this beer. Big looks, big aroma and big taste. Definite pine and citrus notes from the nose and taste. Finishes well with a lingering bitterness.

65cl bottle bought@vinensverden,Odense. Pours copper (into my rogue glass) with a large creamy white head & lacings. Aroma and taste are aggresively hoppy. Lots of fruity & floral hops. Some sweet toffee/caramel. Smooth & soft palate. Heavy bitter hoppy & dry end. I would perhaps prefer if they turned down the perfumy/flowery hops down a notch as it gets very harsh, but other than that no complaints. Good!

Bottle. High fluffy but lasting off-white head. Clear dark brown body. It would be an understatement to write that the aroma is hoppy I can smell nothing else than hops. The hops bitterness is also dominating the flavor. Low carbonation. Long bitter aftertaste.

Another awesome IPA from craig! Bomber: Nice golden color, decent head. Taste was sweet hops with a nice strong bitterness in the end. Texture was medium. Pretty smooth and could easily be an every day beer. I brought it to a tasting and everyone liked it. Thanks again craig for the awesome west coast IPA’s!

Bottle at Ølbaren, Copenhagen
Amber color; creamy generous head. Good ipa, with caramel and toffee flavor, and partially aromatic hop, and of course strong bitterness; also lightly fruity flavor and light earthy/manure aroma; the bitterness is getting lightly astringent at the end. Quite good.
