redlight (1445), Winter Park, Florida, USA Aug 10, 2009 Thanks to Solan for sharing! Fresh cut pine with traces of grapefruit peel. Pours pale amber. Loads of piney hope in the flavor, super hoppy, resiney, with hints of biscuits. It leaves the mouth feeling sticky! Solid IPA! douglas88 (1556), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA Feb 4, 2009 Bomber thanks to slimchill. Pours a clear orange color with a thick ice cream-scoop like head. The aroma is sweet citrus malts. The flavor is mostly a rich and juicy citrus malt, lots of grapefruit, but not very bitter. A good balance of caramel malts also. Clean and quaffable. Very nice. hopdog (5527), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 27, 2009 22oz bottle acquired in trade with lb4lb (thanks!). Poured a medium and slightly hazy amber color with a large sized off white head. Aromas of floral hops, some pine, and some toastiness. Tastes of floral hops, toasted caramel, and some citrus. More hops in the aromas and leaning towards a more malt balance in the taste. Some lacing left on the glass. JMFG (1514), Florida, USA Jan 12, 2009 Courtesy SoLan. Mostly clear amber color, thin white soapy head. Nice heavy grass and pineapple hop aromas, less punch than expected for a 7%. Nice punch to the taste though, borders on being astringent, but pretty nice overall. miketd (679), Cleveland, Ohio, USA Dec 23, 2008 Thanks to lb4lb! Thanks dude! Pours copper with a big creamy head. Aroma is very hoppy with some grass and malt. I get a lot of pine also. Pretty bitter and slightly astringent. Sweet, long finish. Very dry. Not bad brew. cmillward (418), Orlando, Florida, USA Dec 18, 2008 Bomber shared by SoLan, I think. Pours a blonde/gold with a slight white head leaving a touch of lacing. Big pine, grassy hops gracing a slightly toasted malt aroma. More grassy pine hops, very fresh and green in flavor, quite bitter, toasted malt low backbone. Slightly astringent mouthfeel, medium carb, quite nice. The hop punch on the nose is quite pleasant. Gregis (1132), Shawnee, Kansas, USA Dec 13, 2008 Bomber shared by beastiefan2k. Pours golden amber with a thin wispy off-white head. The nose is of bright PNW hops with a sweet, malty caramel backing. On the light-side of medium-bodied with soft carbonation and a bitter finish. The flavor is of solid pale malt with a hit of piny and citric hops in support. This is a solid enough IPA, but I am not sure I would call it an IIPA. I do like it, though. Thanks for sharing it with me, Eugene. bleeng (587), Spring near Beersel, Texas, USA Nov 20, 2008 On tap at NXNW. Nose is very fresh-can I say "Pliny-ish?" Bright and gold filtered. Soft hop nose and bitter. Taste is smooth with a soft mild but very present fresh hop profile. Alcohol is very present with no malt profile. Very nice overall though.
