Dark burnt orange coloured ale, slightly hazy. With a pure white head.
Strong piney hop aromas, good malts in the back.
A very "soft" IPA strong semi-sweet malts then a rolling piney hop bitterness..just flows.
Good on the palte, "soft" and just rolls around the tongue.
Good IPA.

Aug 14, 2008 Bomber poured a clear copper with a lasting ring of amber foam. Aromas of earthiness, carmel, pine and light passionfruit. Palate was light to medium bodied and smooth with a dry finish. Flavors of carmel, earthiness, light pine and light citrus with a smooth dry lingering moderatly bitter finish.

Aug 12, 2008 Bottle: Pours a hazy amber color, nice white head and great lacing. The nose is grassy and fragrant, plenty of pine and orange in the nose. Ample caramel notes with a nice malty body never taking the focus off of the hops. Not bitter in the tail, more balanced towards the piney dry hops. Balanced and yummy. A little citronella note in the tail, which isn’t my favorite as far as hop notes.

Aug 8, 2008 650 ml bottle. Hazy amber body with a firm off/white head. Aroma of sweet malt, grassy/floral hops and grapefruit. Flavor is sweet malty and quite bitter with grapefruit. Bitter finish. Relativly straight forward, no nonsense double IPA, but well made. Refreshing.

Aug 4, 2008 Cloudy straw body with a big, soft white head. Smooth biscuity malt backbone with a very nice, rich, deep floral hop character. Just a touch of the great IPA mainstays; grapefruit, pine, grass etc... which are very well balanced by the rich malt base.

Jul 29, 2008 Really good. Think of TG’s IPA on some sort of hop crack. From a 22 and you are good for the evening.
