Jul 15, 2009 22 oz. bomber 2009 release. Pours a very hazy light yellow with a very small white head that has fairly good retention and leaves some spotty lacing. There is a ton of sediment in this bottle that I didn’t pour in until the very end but it is not just yeast floaties- there are tons of hops bits in here no joke! Big aroma shoots out immediately when the bottle is opened with big resiny and grapefruit hops and orange blossom honey. Once the beer has warmed there emerges tons of white pepper and spicy alcohol notes. Taste is a big let down. For an IIPA the body is very watery and the hops presence is below some normal IPAs. Since the alcohol content is only 7%, I would classify this more of a regular IPA than a double. The rye malt bill is a nice refreshing addition. Acidic finish. But overall this does not really fit the style. Since Adam and Fred are some of the best beers I’ve ever tried in my life, this was a big letdown.

Oct 6, 2006 Updated: Oct 7, 2006Pours with pillowy, one finger head leaving cumulus lacing over a opaque, honey-like murky body; abundant yeast, lemon peel, earthy and citrus hop aroma; not alot of body, but plenty of resinous, oily, piney hops; no malt charactor to speak of because it’s completely oblitorated by fruity, Belginesque yeast and hops. Pure and simple hop juice, but not much more. That’s OK with me.

Jun 25, 2007 Dark yellow like colour. Lots of grapefruit hops in the aroma. Great malty taste with a blast of yummy hops.

Apr 7, 2009 From a lost rating found in my notes. Citrus, hops, pine, some grass in the flavors. Interesting and refreshing. Tasty.

Jul 11, 2008 Finally I get to try this fantastic brew. Pour is a nice golden yellow with medium sized head. Sugary sweet piney delicousness. Very drinkable.

May 27, 2008 Bottle acquired at the PP Bottle Shop. Shared with family and friends during a nice Memorial Day barbecue. Hazy amber color, fast-fading head and medium carbonation. Saucy hop aroma with light orange peel, ginger and grapefruit. Pleasant flavor profile with lots of pine needle and rye malt underneath. Finishes with short bitterness and it has a lighter body and alcohol tone than I expected for a DIPA. Not bad at all.
