Bottle from Lone Hill Liquors in Glendora, CA. This beer is a hazy yellow-orange color with a medium thick and fluffy eggshell white head. Rings of lacing on the glass. The aroma is citrusy and piney hops with malt undertones. Medium body with piney hops at the forefront and notes of grapefruit and sweet malt. The finish is moderately bitter hops with a lingering bitterness. Good all around.

Bomber on Sat. 10/13 for the marathon 13-6 Indians victory. Unbelievable sediment on this, making it a ridiculously cloudy and actually mellowed-out IIPA.

sampled back to back with Freak Out. Both highly commended, recommended and left me needing to be mended (after the rest of the beers that night). So, who was Dot? IS she old and with blue hair? Will Alan ever make an Alan? Will I ver make a comment worthy of a true rating? This was bitter. I made "bitter face" my friends laughed so hard they spit beer at me then kicked me in the face and took my money. Are you happy now? thanks Charles, thanks a whole fukkin lot

(22 oz bottle) hazy gold/light orange, small white head. Aroma of grass, citrus, some grain. Flavor is grassy hops, decent malt balance with a little sweetness.

Dark gold with a frothy head. Huge bubbles and tan. Sweet malts with a little grapefruit are the first aromas. Floral with fruity esters and caramel in the flavors. Thick and sweet. Syrupy and cloying. Finishes out fruity.

Bottled. Cloudy dark orange colour. Rich sticky white foam. Piney hop aroma with notes of grapefruit, passionfruit and flowers. Loads of citric fruit in the flavour; grapefruit and lemon-rind with touches of lychee, grass and pine-needles. The body is fairly light compared to other 2IPA’s I’ve sampled. Long hoppy and bitter finish of grapefruit, grass and lemon-rind. Tasty and quite refreshing IPA.

Bottle. Thanks to jsquire for sharing. Large white fizzy head that mostly diminished, no lacing, cloudy, and a straw yellow hue. Malty, hoppy citrus, spice nose. Very nice indeed! Flavor was malty, hoppy citrus and somewhat thick. Mouthfeel was smooth and thick. Medium-full body. Very quaffable. Ths is not one of my favorite styles; however, I would partake in this one again if the opportunity presented itself. Definitely worth a try!

Bottle and served in GI IPA tulip, golden hue with a small but persistent lasting head with good lacework upon the glassware. The aroma has massive overtones of juicy hop esters of grapefruit and mango, resiny pine, biscuity malts, grains of paradise, and a herbal tone. The taste is hop forward but still restrained enough not to rip the enamel off your teeth. Plenty of fruity twang and caress of pale and crystal malts. I do not get the Rye however which is a shame because that was the main reason for me wanting this beer, more basic peppery finish on this. The mouth feel is sprite and aggressive, metallic finish. All around a very solid IIPA and more than drinkable, I would again if given the opportunity.
