12oz bottle. Light golden color with white head and good amount of lace left on the glass. Aroma is pine and grapefruit. Flavor is piney with lots of hops, not over the top hop taste. Finishes with a dry bitter flavor. Overall a good beer.

Bottle thanks to RiversideAK. Damn. The aroma alone is fantastic. Grapefruit, oranges, maybe some peach. Flavor is wonderful of obvious Simcoe, bringing out the apricot and peach flavor, withe Centennial and Cascade bringing up the pine and bit of flowery goodness with the orange flavor. Lots of bitter to this. This has to rank as one of my new favorite go to beers. What sucks is I cant get it here..

Thanks Hayduke! This beer pours a murky caramel color with a tiny light colored head. Sticky and stringy lacing. Nose is caramel and overripe citrus fruit with just a bit of brown sugar. Flavor is complex citrus and passion fruit with a nice bitter bite. Pine and caramel. A very dry sticky aftertaste that builds more fruit tastes. I will say it. One of the best IPAs in the world.

Bomber with special thanks to coyotehunter. Pours a light orange with a dense, medium-sized head. A very pleasant mix of citrus, tropical fruit and resin greets the nose. Lots of mango, pineapple, grapefruit, papaya, and so on. Flavor is really good, too, but not quite as strong as the aromas. Pine seems to dominate the palate, but there is a decent amount of light caramel maltiness to balance things out. Finish is bitter grapefruit peels with a little bit of lemon. If I didn’t want to sound like an AB commercial, I’d say that this has a high drinkability rating... err... damnit, I just said it.

Bottle thanks to ericanders. Amber with a cream head. Nose is grapefruits and pineapples. Very nice lb the palate with an overly smooth grapefruit flavor that is awesome.
