CelticBrew (512), The Crystal Coast, North Carolina, USA Feb 24, 2008 Shared bomber at Steves house. Pours nice and dark copper colour, aroma strong of grapefruits, pines, wet forrest hops. Flavour is of an extremely smooth DIPA beer. Grapefruits and malted hops prevail in this wonderful beer. What an excellent experience, truly kick ass beer!
ilherps (67), USA Oct 11, 2008 Aroma of citrus and bitter hops overwhelm the nose. The bottle I opened was full of what looks like yeast remnants, but more than I’ve ever seen in a beer. I don’t think this effected the flavor. The taste is big, lots of bitter hops, flavors of grapefruit and orange zest, with almost a chocolate maltyness to the finish. This is an extremely tasty IIPA. Boutip (1815), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada Oct 10, 2008 Bottle: Poured a bright copper color ale with a medium foamy head with good retention but minimal lacing. Aroma consists of deep caramel malt with some astringent and bitter hops. Taste is also a mix between some caramel malt with limited sweetness and some astringent and dry bitter hops. I would have better appreciated this beer had more citrusy or floral notes been discernable. Medium body with good carbonation and no alcohol tasted. Not bad overall but still far away from some of the top beers from this style. bretupdegraff (101), Fishers, Indiana, USA Oct 7, 2008 poured hazy light brown/dark gold with particles/sediment. small but full offwhite head.
ARmoa is fruity, citrus, hops - reminds me of a good FFF brew aroma.
Taste is very nice - slight alcohol burn but still very smooth - outstanding flavor might be my favorite IPA/Double IPA
nice mouthfeel very carbonated but full of flavor - floral but fruity - Carmel? a nice taste of Malt- just AWESOME - very complex.
I am glad I bought the Bomber on this one! I will be sure to stock up on this one. larsniclas (3034), Gothenburg, Sweden Oct 5, 2008 Bottled at 3 små rum.
Dark ruby-red.
Extreme amounts of sweet, grassy, hay-ish hops.
Fruity and perfume-ish flavour.
Smooth mouthfeel with igh bitterness. sayravai (3186), Helsinki, Finland Oct 5, 2008 (Bottled, 0.65l) Hazy, nicely red-brown color with a medium, firm and lacy head. Delicious, fresh and exotic-fruity, aromatic-hoppy nose. Extremely hoppy, superbly fruity flavor with lots of backing maltiness, but remains dryish overall. Quite similar to Nørrebro North Bridge Extreme, but slightly more hop-accented. Medium to full body with soft carbonation. A superb Double IPA with great balance, yet enough hops to satisfy a serious hophead. Dangerously easy to drink, too, and with not too much alcohol.
