Jan 28, 2008 Nothing that realy sets this apart from the pack but a very solid
IPA. Nice floral hops aroma.

Jan 28, 2008 Just your basic IPA. Nothing spectacular but nowhere to fault it either. Probably what the brewery was aiming for, given the other pales they produce. I would think this would be a sixpack beer, but on sale at only 3 bucks the bomber is pretty attractive.

Jan 27, 2008 Pours a somewhat dark clearish yellow with a thin, white head that dissipates quickly. Head leaves just a bit of lacing.
Smells grassy. Taste bitter grassy. Big and bitter up front with just a touch of sweetness on the finish. Somewhat thick feeling but actually a bit thin and watery. Decent carbonation. Not a bad bitter IPA, but not my favorite. Their DiPA’s on the other hand, are awesome.

Jan 18, 2008 Pours copper-gold with a half-finger white head. Citrusy aroma with bready sweetness. Some grassiness. The hoppiness is more floral in the flavor. Good IPA if you like a touch of the English. Nothing really outstanding.

Jan 17, 2008 as soon as I opened the bottle I was hit hit with a strong pine resin and grapefruit aroma....color of apple juice with a 2 finger white rocky head....medium amount of lacing...so far this is a good looking and smelling beer...very bitter with a hint of light sweetness....over the top with the hops....strong pine pitch taste masks everything else....this was pretty good for me, probably not so good if you don’t like hops...there are a lot of other better more easily available IPAs available in VA

Jan 15, 2008 Updated: Sep 5, 2009Darker orange body with a large off white head. Obvious grapefruit smells come out with some notes of poppy seed lemon bread. The taste is bread crust with strong grapefruit. Notes of fresh green beans. A relatively thin body, but it’s complementary to the beer. A nice IPA, but a bit unbalanced on the hop side, definitely for hop heads. I tried again and found it about the same.

Jan 12, 2008 Pours with an enormous, pillowy head. Extremely hazy chestnut body. Almondy, yeasty aroma, moderately hoppy, some brown sugar. Obvious English hops character. Flavor is intially laced with caramel malt, brown sugar, and then transitions into the hoppy aspects. Dusty, slightly celery-ish hoppiness. Very sharply carbonated, as expected from the abundant head. The carbonation and some solventy aspects draw away from this.

Jan 11, 2008 Appears a hazy, light orange with a huge, creamy, chunky head of white sea foam that sticks around for the entire duration. Tons of chunky lacing is left all around the glass.
Smell is of orange, earthy grapefruit, light pine, sweet caramel, and flowers.
Taste is of the mentioned aromas with more of a doughy batter mixed with flowers, sugar, grain, and sugar.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied, semi-sweet with brown sugar, and bitter of floral leaves.
