Dec 31, 2006 Thanx to my SS, whoever you are? Bomber poured a tan-amber-yellow with same color head. Head was fizzy and Huge, but could be my pour? Nose was a yeasty citrus, like a lemon muffin-bread. Hmm. There is more fruit in this, so pine and grapefruit. Well, the taste had a smooth sweetness, joined by alcohol and an immediate yeast and malt background came out. The carbonation was nice, medium body. Bitter finish. Really nice IIPA. Glad to drink this one.

Dec 31, 2006 Cloudy amber body topped by a dense white head that leaves a nice sheet of lace in its wake. The aroma is hoppy with some light oxidation evident. The flavor is very bitter hoppy though not as hop funky as some other west coast IIPAs that I have had. Soft medium full body. Alcohol is evident but not detracting. Enjoyable stuff.

Dec 29, 2006 Pours a med. cloudy amber with a a nice lasting white head. Aroma is huge pine and citrus with just a hint of grassiness and caramel malts. The body is med. with appropriate CO2. The flavors of hops are numerous and they hit in you in every facet. Apricot, pine, spice, earthy, they’re all there. The finish is not abrasive but is bitter and drying for sure. The best organic beer I have had.

Dec 24, 2006 Pours a slow thick orange liquid, with almost no head. This beer has a rich hop aroma, with roses and fruit in the smell. Thick and oily, with a long finish and hops that resurrect themselves after the malt is gone.

Dec 20, 2006 Bomber. Strong caramel malt and citrus hop aroma. You can definitely tell this beer is unfiltered, lots of floaties within an orange amber body. Flavor is similar to aroma, lots of malt at the forefront, and a strong citrus and piney hop backbone. Reminds me a lot of the dreadnaught. Very solid douple ipa.

Dec 16, 2006 HUGE caramel malt and fruit laden aroma is highly concentrated with a noticeable citrus hop balance. This smells excellent.
<P>
The body is a red/amber that almost appears to glow while the head is a thumb thick, compact, tan, creamy looking and lasting.

The fore is rich and deep with caramel malt and hints of brown sugar and caramel covered white fruits. The hop component is secondary, but still large and present and gives some bracing pineand citric notes that cut the malt sweetness. An excellent DIPA according to my tastebuds.
