Nov 9, 2009 bomber from green’s in atlanta. deep gold pour with a sturdy medium head with soapy lacing. aroma of citrus hops, pine, bread and spice. nice drinkable medium texture with a spike of tingly carbonation throughout. tastes are the same as the aroma - with a hint of caramel. this one is mainly just about the long burnt and tingly bitterness.

Nov 6, 2009 Bomber. Healthy tawney copper color and a wooly well retained head. Smells like evergreen and iron. Flavor is a well rounded combination of citrus, rye, candi, and grain, though none of these flavors dominate. It makes me think of bread. Metal tastes follow, and then bitter hoppines lingers for ages, it seems. The feel is thick, but only slightly oily with very fine dusty grit. The freshness and plenitude of locally grown hops is evident here, but not overdone. I’m pretty happy with this wet hopped IPA.

Nov 6, 2009 Serving: 22 oz. bottle.
Appearance: Amber orange color with a foamy, off-white head. Decent head retention.
Aroma: Lots of pine with some floral notes. I don’t get much on the malt side.
Flavor: Pine, some citrus notes, and floral notes from the hops. Light, sweet malt notes with a touch of biscuit. Lighter in the flavor profile than I was expecting.
Palate: Medium carbonation with a medium mouthfeel and a long, bitter finish.
Overall: This one really didn’t wow me. It’s not a bad IPA, but it doesn’t hold up to it’s competition in the category. It isn’t a bad single hop brew though. Take it or leave it.

Oct 27, 2009 Bottle. Pours a dark amber with a thin quickly disapating white head. Aroma is very hoppy with a bit of sweet malts. Notes of grass, citrus (a bit of grapefruit), and a bit of pine. On the palate, it is lighter than I expected. The flavor has a very strong hop pressence, but still a bit watered down and it finishes with a nice hoppy bitter bite. Pretty good harvest ale, but nothing really special about it.
