May 26, 2009 Bottle from Roger Wilco in Palmyra, NJ. Bottle conditioned. Pours amber with a slight haze and retentive off white head. Aroma of piney hops and honey. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Flavor of toffee malts countered by an assertive grapefruit bitterness. Dry and grassy finish with lingering grapefruit rind and hop resin. Not too shabby

May 25, 2009 Pours out of the bottle a nice golden yellow/orange w/a little head that has a little lacing. It has a hop nose and maybe a little of the alcohol. It tastes of pine or spruce that is expected of an IPA and the hops and alcohol really come out. It is not what I would consider an Imperial IPA, it does have the high ABV, but not the tart and tang of a truely great IPA. It is not bad, I was just more hyped up for a taste bud antagonizing IPA. Cheers!

May 22, 2009 22oz bottle–pours a tight foamy off white head with some lacing and hazy gold color. Aroma is pine/lemon zest hops. Taste is bitter/raw-pine/resin/lemon zest hops, secondary light /medium malt-caramel. The malt can’t hold up to the hops bite though. Medium body. Good effervescence. Dry finish. Occasional. Thanks to Joe-jwc215 for sharing.

May 16, 2009 Bomber from Canals in Lawrenceville. Deep amber pour with a small light khaki head and very thin lacing. Aroma of pine resin and citrus trees. No surprises in the flavors with a never ending helping of hoppy citrus, toffee and light caramel. Nice, full texture and a pleasantly bitter finish. Not really a mega hop bomb but a very respectable IIPA.

May 14, 2009 22 z bomber from Spirits RB. Wasn’t expecting much so boy was I extra suprised when this one wasn’t just decent but really good. Wow what a lasting foamy, frothy bright white head sitting atop a slightly hazed orange marmelade colored body, perfect score there. Aroma starts off with tons and tons of citrusy hops, grapefruit and tangerine, some bready doughy grains, caramel and toffee to a uch lesser extent in the background. Flavor is slightly grassy but still very good, citrus rind hoppiness, some bready grains, a slight touch of pepper from all the bitterness. Overall grainy and bitter but very nice.

May 14, 2009 Pours a cloudy yellow orange color with a white head. Aroma was of citrus earthiness. This was a very flavor IIPA with a lot of grapefruit and a pretty big bitterness. Pretty easy to drink too. Not too sweet.

May 14, 2009 Pours a hazy orange with thick off-white head, lacing evident. Aroma obvious of citrus hops, pine, caramel, and grass. Flavor agrees with a slight herbal character to it. Pretty decent DIPA, wouldn’t definitely have again.
