Aug 8, 2009 A nice IPA. I was hoping for a bit more hops or spice, but mostly floral in nature. Nice malt balance though.

Aug 8, 2009 Copper pour with tan head. Very hoppy floral aroma with lots of pine and malt. Tastes of slightly sweet malt and citrus with a dry bitter hoppy finish. Finish is maybe a little astringent. Not bad, but not great.

Aug 7, 2009 I thought this would be on the bigger side for an IPA, but this was just okay. I mean it was still an extremely well made beer and was still quite enjoyable to drink. I personally would have gone with another hop to base a single hop IPA. The honey malts are very present giving a sweet honey smoothness. Strong floral nose through the whole pint. Well balanced and smooth.

Aug 7, 2009 Bottle: Hazy copper pour with a finger of creamy beige head. Lots of sticky, weblike lacing. Aroma is sweet enough, a bit malty and citrusy with a subtle amount of florals. The florals come through much stronger in the taste, but not intense by any means. Somewhat dry and unfinished. Still ok, but I had much higher hopes for this...

Aug 6, 2009 Not much nose. Some nice hops, some emptiness, some poop. Flavor is very nice and smooth, with a great hop presence and a nice malt backbone. Nothing incredible here, but it’s easy to drink and pretty tasty.

Aug 1, 2009 22oz bottle from the Utah State Wine Store. Pours a bright amber color with a medium white head. The aroma is pretty subdued; light caramel and hops. The flavor was quite nice; a huge grapefruit and orange peel flavors, lots of bitterness, quite hoppy. I’m not sure why, but others seem to regard this as a pretty bland beer, but this bottle was full of fresh citrus hops and pretty bitter. Nice.

Jul 30, 2009 Bomber courtesy of Secret Santa Summer ’09. Amora of medium, sweet malt and light citrus. Flavor was just the same. Copper body with off-white head. Rather bland for an IPA. Didn’t have the normal refreshment an IPA usually has. Thanks, Buckeye Boy, for the opportunity to try this beer.
