Sep 27, 2008 22 oz. bottle. Pours a slightly hazy dark reddish amber body with a medium sized beige head. Aroma has alot of sweetness. Malty, mildly fruity, caramel, with some floral notes. The flavor shows a fair amount of caramel malt sweetness, with additional sweetness coming from fruity sensations (citrus, grapes). There is also a touch of bitterness, perhaps associated with the floral hops. Medium bodied, for the most part easy to drink, but a slight acidity peeks in from time to time.

Sep 2, 2008 Pours a deep blood red color with a light tan head. Smell is rich sweet malts and lightly fruity and floral hops. Taste is nice rich red fruity and candy sweetness and balanced pleasant bitterness. Some cherry flavor in there. Slightly rich mouthfeel and prickly carbonation. Some light alcohol in the flavor. Not bad.

Aug 24, 2008 22oz bottle, courtesy of CaptainCougar. Thanks, Tom! Pours a dark, ruby color; light-tan head with fine-bubbled lacing. Lots of juicy earthiness and citrus fruits in the aroma; oily, juicy, clean fruit-cocktail hoppiness with candy sugar underneath; really nice hop character in the nose. The mouthfeel is a lot maltier than the nose suggests: lots of fruit cocktail, candy sugar, and tea-like malts (very light astringency); relaxed carbonation; pretty sticky sweet and the oiliness of the fruity hops becomes less appealing in the mouth; tea and fruits. Lengthy finish: red fruits, candy sugar, and light tea tannins and sweetness.

Jul 7, 2008 Bomber from Stepanje! These here west coast hop bombs are a growin on me. Pours a medium amber that looks brown in the glass. Healthy pour yields exponentially growning head that settles in an amazing display of wavyness and never overflows the glass. Hops exude out of the glass and waft about the basement. a great infusion of hops and malt that continuously compliment and see saw back and forth on this extended body and mouthfeel. alcohol is hidden expertly. The grainbill must be massive for this critter.

Jun 13, 2008 Pours a decent deep amber color. (The best thing about this beer.) The nose was vegital and a strange kind of fishy influence. Just weird, as was the flavor.
