Why all these dogs and beer? It’s really tiresome. But I overlooked that failing with ease. I really haven’t had such a good hop bomb in a long time. This was just tremendous. Sticky, never syrupy, sweet and not cloying. Clean. Citric. And there were a lot of really fun flavors in there--those that actually made my eyes pop when I noticed them. Highly recommended.

Dec 7, 2009 22 oz. brown bomber. No freshness date seen. Poured out the standard copper color, with a sticky tan head. Left a curtain down the sides of the glass. Aromas are standard pretty much. Some piney & grapefruit hops, sourdough bread, not much else. Thin body & mouthfeel. Too thin for the style. OK enough to try once.

Dec 5, 2009 Thanks Hayduke! This beer, by appearance, could be a pale lager. It does have a large white fluffy head that never seems to diminish, though. A thick but lacing remains. It also seemed to get more cloudy as it warmed. Aroma is tart citrus with pine and caramel. Flavor is largely the same with a big bitterness. That bitterness also grows as the beer warms and comes close to dominating. This is a nice beer but seems to be more of a high alcohol IPA than an impy.

Dec 4, 2009 22 oz. bottle- Pours amber golden with a nice fluffy white head, aroma is of banana, grass, and hops. The flavor is not as bitter as I thought considering it comes in at 127 IBU’s. I like this beer a lot, and towards the bottom of the glass it does get Alpha hoppy, hoppy holidays( it’s close to Christmas).

Nov 22, 2009 Great beer. The hops really come out as flavor and aromatic hops with the emphasis on the flavor. This makes for a very tasty beer. Beautiful beer as well.

Nov 21, 2009 Pours light amber. Great lacing. Decent aroma but a little lacking for a iipa. Decent flavor some hop presence and a malty backbone. Not bad but just not a top tier iipa to me.

Nov 16, 2009 Bomber courtesy of alexsdad06. Pours hazy orange with a long lasting 3 finger beige head that leaves great lacing. The nose is floral hops, caramel and grapefruit. The taste is ripe citrus, caramel and grapefruit with a long lasting bitter pine finish. Medium bodied – tasty IIPA. Thanks Brad!

Nov 15, 2009 Bomber poured into my new tulip (thanks to the wife). Murky orange with thick white head. Pine and grassy scent.. Nice bitter taste but it is so smooth! Good stuff.
