Commercial Description:
This triple hopped ale is a bottle conditioned Imperial Style Ale. The fresh green Centennial Hops add floral overtones reminiscent of citrus fruits. Pleasingly strong fresh hop aroma, with good malt tones. Made with pale, chocolate and caramel malt.

Pours clear copper with tan head and spotty lacing. The modest aroma emits layers of hops from spiciness to floral and to citrus with a sweet mesa of maltiness underneath. The taste begins fresh and lively with hops bringing in notes of citrus, green-ness, grapefruit, grass, a bit of pine and a dash of orange hard candy. The hops go from late boil addition flavor to bitter and then back to flavor again. I get consistent modest malt sweetness creating a decent base for the experience.

Bomber. Lightly hazy dark amber with a thick and lacy off-white head. Floral and earthy aroma with a bit of toffee to hold it up. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Mostly earthy taste, a little nutty toasty malt sweetness, with a smidge of pine on an otherwise earthy dry finish. This beer tends to accentuate the hop qualities that I like the least. Interesting, but just not my bag.

Tap at Bridgeport. Pours a deep amber color that is hazy in nature. Has a slight head that makes me chuckle. Tastes like hops. Fresh hops, floral hops, and citrus hops. Fabulous beer.

Bomer. Amber pour. Light white head. Aroma is malty and hoppy(citrus) Flavor is smooth with a great hop bite but not enough to offset the great malt bill. Very nice damn beer. Thanks to my cuz Sam for this one.

Good experience with this bottle at BridgePort. Very sweet and floral nose; citrus, candy sugar, frosting. Maltiness gave balance to an otherwise fresh, hoppy taste sequence. Lightly bitter but mostly refreshing.
