WOW! This is hoppy! This beer celebrates hops like it’s Christmas! Dark Golden Color. Citrus aroma. Thick feeling in mouth. Impressive floral hop taste with Grapefruit notes. Very bitter aftertaste. It’s like chewing on a hop flower. I love this beer! And the alcohol packs a punch.

bomber and going solo, this might have to be my only beer tonight .... floral and pine aroma ... this one is insanely hoppy .... sweet on the front ...smooth in the middle .... and a crazy bitter/pine pitch, back of the throat, top of the mouth cheese grater scrubbing ..... lingering bitterness make me want more ..... I cant even detect the amount of alcohol in this one, this could be dangerous if I didn’t read the bottle 1st .... I could pound about 3 or 4 of these until I figured it out ....... I LOVE IT

Bomber. Lightly hazed amber with a tan head. Big, whompin’ pink grapefruit nose, piney and fruity peach over caramel. Excellent sheetlike lacing, nice body on the fuller side of medium. Holy CRAP, bracingly bitter flavors! Dry grapefruit zest and mild pine with a strong caramel spine. Very herbal bitter finish, pretty dry. A whopper of a beer, but a bit overdone, really. Made to give the biggest hophead his fix, if not overdose.

bomber courtesy of Sparky27... this beer lives up to its name - with a punch. This one is full of glorious hops... This has to be the hoppiest beer I’ve had to date. With it’s under 100 IBU rating, it drinks and tastes more like a 200 IBU beer... If you’re a hophead you will love this beer - if not, you will hate it. This beer is loaded and loaded with hops. Pours a deep orange/amber with a nice size white head... huge hoppy, piney aromas... the hoppy bitterness hits your palate immediately and flows over the entire palate with abundance... huge long lasting finish which leaves the hops on your palate for a good while after your done... piney, hoppy and just damn good.... a new favorite for sure...

22oz bottle. Pours cloudy Amber in color with off white head. Aroma is all hops, Floral hops. Taste is all hops, citrus hops taste like eating a grapefruit with bitter finish. You will feel the alcohol on the second glass.

Pours clear amber. Minimal white head with some lacing. Aroma of heavy hops, citrus & simcoe present. Taste is very hoppy, with minimal malt. Mix of hops is great here. Not oddly bitter, but very smooth and pleasant. This is one of my favorite IPA/IIPAs. Very nice mix here with a great body.

Pours clear amber with a small white head. Malty, slightly sour and doughy aroma with an odd floral hop combination. Sweet citrus & caramel malt with a very low end bitterness, soapy, salty finish. Smooth carbonation.

Really nice brew. A somewhat cloudy amber with a small yellow head. Nice hoppy aroma. Solid mouthfeel, a little caramel maltiness but mostly an interesting combination of hop flavors. A little alcohol in the finish. Nice.
