Clear, yellowish appearance, lighter than a typical IPA. A lemony aroma, lightly hopped... Sometimes I find aromas in beers that are oddly reminiscent of something completely unrelated to beer. On this one, and this is totally out of the blue, I am reminded of the smell of scotch tape. It’s faint, and not necessarily a horrible thing, but just kind of funny.
Taste is pretty good. Lacks the fullness of a world-class IPA. Peppery, citrusy, not super hoppy. Kind of toes the line between IPA and American Pale Ale. Enjoyable, but not amazing.

Dec 25, 2009 Bomber. Nose is heavy on the roasty, british smelling (not sure if that’s a true designation, but that’s what it reminds me of) malts. Light pineapple hops show just a touch. Flavor is the roasty caramel malt forward, with a tingling bitterness late. Much more APA/BPA than IPA. Quaffable, but nothing really stands out.

Dec 11, 2009 Tasted this at a beerfest and enjoyed it, picked up a bottle to fully enjoy it, and was very pleased. Poured deep amber, with a nice fothy head. Smell was citrusy, but also a bit boozy. Taste was a typical IPA, but finished a bit boozier than I prefer. This is a good NorCal IPA, and impressive coming out of Fairtucky, but I thought it could have been a bit more balanced. I would still recommend.

Jul 28, 2009 From tap at the brewpub. Pours clear and golden orange with a small white head. Aroma is roasted malt, hoppy and fruity. Good malt flavour base to a solid hoppy fruity flavour lingering into a dry hoppy finish.

Jul 14, 2009 Draft at the brewpub. A golden-amber beer with a lazing off-white head. The aroma has notes of lemon and some malt and caramel. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of spicy hops, leading to a very bitter spicy hoppy finish. A bit raw in the hops.
