| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 9, 2009 Bomber from Lukas. Nose is pretty nice, some stone fruit, a little dank bitterness and a light caramel. Flavor is an expolsion of caranel malt upfront, and a big citric bitterness towards the end. Honestly, the malt totally overwhelmed here, surprising for a ’wet-hopped’ beer. It’s drinkable and overall decent, but I won’t likely go back for another. Would like to try it fresh close to the release date, since there’s no date on the bottle, this one may have lost it’s hop profile. DeadGirl (243), West Palm Beach, Florida, USA

Well balanced with a lingering bitter finish. jbye4334 (710), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Sep 3, 2009 Draught at Ginger Man NYC on 25th July 2009. Cloudy, hazy orange/gold with rocky white froth. Very hoppy with some delectable herby hemp notes which sharpen in the main taste climax. Slight tickly mouthfeel which I liked, settles down to a zingy texture on which a relatively long dry finish is delivered. Worthy of its higher ratings on RB. arrogantb (714), Denver, Colorado, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 26, 2009 Cool new label with a cow skull and a Native American theme going on (makes sense given the name of the brewery). The color was orange with a steady pillow of head. The smell was grassy and floral from the wet hops. The taste was not a strong flavor but still a decent wet-hopped herbal flavor. I couldn’t detect the malt backbone but this was by no means a “hop bomb”. I wish I had bought two.
