Aug 7, 2009 Bottle at the legend of Chriso’s pre GBBF09 Tasting. Alround rating: Massive hops, like incredibly intence lychee orange peel mango fruity amazingness, the body is up the the task of balancing it but there still a huge bittering dryness in the finish. The answer to all this immence hoppyness seems to be because the beer is dry hopped in the bottle as i found out when i took my last drink to then pull a few hop leafs out my mouth. Utterly outstanding!

Sep 1, 2008 Good light hop aroma, nice head, though a little pale in color. This has a good hop bite but isn’t that bitter. Crisp and relatively easy to drink, I think I may like this one Coronado beer I had in the bottle better than all I had on tap at the brewery last weekend.

Sep 20, 2009 On tap. It has quite beautiful and charming texture. Beautifully mariaged Juicy and grassy hop shake my brain. I can see brewers’ soul the stracture stands from beginning to end. Smooth mouthfeel. Aftertaste my tongue is clean more than I think.Well drinkable. I want refill if I don’t have work tomorrow.

Sep 22, 2007 Bomber. Nice pour with a thick, tight, white head. Flavor is over ripe blood oranges, resin & pineapple. This is the real deal. Spicy hops are blended perfectly with the sweet malts. A great choice making this "SD IPA" a cozy 8%. I love this stuff.

Jun 15, 2007 Growler courtesy of Naven. Pure, West Coast hoppiness. Awesome flavor of piney, flowery, resiny, spicey hops. Beautiful pour w/ great lacing. Thanks Dave.

May 19, 2009 Bomber. I can’t believe the lower score on this beer. I usually think right around the average. This may be the best beer I have had in a LONG time. I’m so glad I bought 2 bombers. This is very similar, perhaps a tad less strong, than the Stone 10th anniversary beer was. Huge citrus mango and pineapple flavors. I would buy this beer all day long (well, i may be to toasted to do that). Amazing and just the right beer for me.

Aug 20, 2009 Bottle, Beer Ritz, Leeds. Ooweeee!! Belter alert!! Poured a hazy amber colour with some floater action swirlin and twirlin in there and a decent looking off white head. Aroma jam packed full of resinous hop and tropical fruit....as indeed was the flavour. Some sweetness evident, but all in proportion, and this just clicks supremely.Just a hugely enjoyable drink that I could gladly drain all day.

May 6, 2009 excellent aroma of some tropical fruits and pine, with notes of something meaty and delicious, and maple syrup; the flavor is one meaty grapefruit slathered with malty, hop glaze; it’s absolutely drinkable with the perfect carbonation and mouthfeel for what it is, which is what it is; this is what is great... I don’t know why, exactly, but this brew really hits the spot for me.
