Tons of floral hop aroma citrus and pine fill your nose
Wow this has a good balance in flavor for 101 I.B.U there is enough malt to keep the hops in check
Mouth feel is medium with average carbonation
Good beer, the alcohol was well hidden to me. I don’t think I could drink more than one bomber of these per sitting

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Mar 6, 2008 On-tap at Churchill’s today. Pours a cloudy burnt orange color with a thin creamy offwhite head, leaves lots of lace. Stinks of hops... Dark and grassy smelling. The taste isn’t super bitter, earthy hops, somewhat syrupy sweet.. Mouthfeel is syrupy and pretty thick. When fresh, it’s good. Good carbonation. epf33 (222), Fairfax, Virginia, USA

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 3, 2008 Bomber from G&G. Pours a very nice golden orange, not quite amber with a good, solid head and nice carbonation. Aroma was room-filling and somewhat surprising. Scents of peach, grapefruit, and vanilla. I was surpised that the Summit and Nugget hops had this quality of aroma. Flavor is dominated by the hops, but the malt comes through later. Excellently bitter after the swallow, with a smooth aftertaste. 9% abv but very drinkable. Overall, a very solid double IPA that may not stand out as unique, but is certainly high quality. rlgk (3378), Vårgårda, Sweden

Fruity, creamy aroma, pine apples and citrus, some grass, hay and with peach notes. Fruity and hoppy flavor, grass, perfume. Rather bitter and with a dry grassy finish. theviolet (169), New York, New York, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 25, 2008 Bottle. High fluffy but lasting white head. Clear golden body. Spicy fruity and hoppy aroma. Hops dominated flavor of course but quite fresh and clean. Heavily carbonated and a long bitter aftertaste. Alcohol present but I would not have guessed on 9%.
