Gregis (937), Shawnee, Kansas, USA Aug 27, 2008 Bomber shared by csbosox. Pours a hazy dark orange with a thin skin of off-white head and spotty lace. The nose is sweet and malty with subtle fruity and earthy hops in support. Medium-bodied and slick with a bitter, lightly grainy mouthfeel at the swallow. Round, sweet malt with a fruity/earthy hop backing and a moderately bitter finish. This is a nice brew; not spectacular for the style, but nice. Thanks for sharing this with us, Chris.
bu11zeye (3887), Frisco, Texas, USA Sep 24, 2008 (Draught) Pours cloudy glowing orange body with a small off-white head. Aroma of orange peel, mango, and florals. Flavor of hops (floral, herbal, citrus) and bready caramel malt with a bitter finish. ChainGangGuy (1721), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA Sep 21, 2008 Appearance: Pours a clear, amberish body with a smallish, off-white head.
Smell: Slightly sweetish caramel and toffee nose with a layer of spicy-scented hoppiness lurking underneath.
Taste: Caramel and toffee-flavored maltiness with a minor hint of pre-packaged cookie dough. Floral, spicy hops, maybe a touch of citrus, too, and with moderate bitterness. Finishes with a light, lingering bitterness.
Mouthfeel: Medium-plus body. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: Fairly decent drinkability -- it’s plenty hoppy, but, thankfully, there is no caustic, tongue-crippling bitterness. phishpond417 (1521), Madison, Wisconsin, USA Sep 20, 2008 My favorite of the day: Pours a bright hazey orange with a large white head. Aroma is floral, strong of grapefruit and lemons. Taste is nice and hoppy with generous amounts of citrus fruit, fresh hops and earth. doubleo (966), San Diego, California, USA Sep 14, 2008 22oz bottle. Thanks to Badbeer. Pours amber with a moderate size, offwhite head, specks of lace. Smells resiny hoppy and dark citrusy, mellow not overpowering. Tastes resiny hoppy and sweet, very sweet. Some dark citrus. Full body, weak carbonation. ATLBeerDog (279), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Sep 13, 2008 Pours a deep reddish/orange with a small head - low in carbonation. Strong hop aroma dominates the malts. First sip is bitter and hoppy. Not too bad as this is a worthy is DIPA.
