Oct 4, 2009 22oz bottle shared with my buddy Ian. Pours a hazy dark orange with a big off white head. Huge pine orange aroma, very hoppy and resinous. Big malt body with lots of sweetness, orange and bitter hoppiness. Good DIPA, just seems to be missing something.

Oct 3, 2009 Very cloudy golden brown, thin beige head. Smells like caramel and pine and a wee bit of honey. Very sweet aroma,. Flavor is more sweet, with a big piney, resiny hop finish. Very thick, and it become almost but not quite too sweet as it warms.

Oct 3, 2009 Pours a hazy deep orange color with a small off-white head. Aroma is big pine and caramel, a little citrus. Flavor is not quite as hoppy as I expected. Really big malt character, but I’m not sure if the hopcharacter is quite up to the challenge.

Oct 1, 2009 Tap at GABF ’09.
Pours an average amber with a thin body. Aroma is malty corn biscuit. Flavor is malty vegetable dough with a hops finish. Slick mouthfeel that coats the tongue nicely. Aaargh, matey, this one should walk the plank; too malty for me.

Sep 30, 2009 Bomber. Pours a mostly clear, dark amber-orange color topped by a thick and foamy light tan colored head. The head settles quickly to a thin film leaving some rings of lace around the glass. The aroma shows huge amounts of sweet toffee malts and a good dose of citrus and floral hops. There is a hint of the booze in there also. The flavor follows suit with the sweet toffee malt up front followed by the citrus and floral hop bitterness. The boozy alcohol comes through more as the beer warms up. Pretty good flavor when drank completely cold, but when the beer warmed up became too sugary and boozy from the alcohol. The mouthfeel is big and syrupy with good carbonation that leads to a bitter sweet finish. The hops were really overpowered in this one by the sweet malt profile and amount of alcohol. Not a bad ipa, but not one I would revisit if looking for a hop fix.

Sep 29, 2009 The bitterness is a little thin and on the verge of unpleasant in the back. The malt flavor is nice, but it’s thinner than expected in that area. This is not the best of the Heavy Seas series that I’ve had from Clipper.
