Nov 25, 2009 Bomber courtesy of BeerBelcher. Pours a clear copper with a big beige head. Sweet and grainy malt nose with some citrusy and grassy hops. Sweet malt flavor up front with some mild citrus hops and a bittersweet finish. I probably should have opened this earlier, but still not bad.

Sep 8, 2009 Bottle shared by ucusty. Smells like an aged oxidized ipa. Faded hops can be noted in the flavor but again, this beer is pretty done. Oily mouthfeel.

Sep 4, 2009 Bottle shared by the crusty one--I mean ucusty. Not amazingly hoppy for an IPA. Wonder if this is old. Some pine and sweet malt. Sort of earthy/herby. Oxidized, I think, so probably past its prime.

Sep 1, 2009 Shared by ucusty. Pours a soft pale copper with a one finger white head. The nose shows some age and deterioration as a result. Oxidized, heavy on the malt, some piny herbal hop character. The flavor is sweet and malty, bready, mild bitterness, not much distinguishable hop character. Palate is mildly bitter.

Aug 9, 2009 Hazy copper, medium head. Aroma was citric with grapefruit and lemon rind. Balanced with a resiny hop over bready and honeyed malts. Balanced easy finish. A bit unrefined, even homebrewish, but drinkable.

Aroma: Citrus & earthy hops, a bit of caramel

Palate: Medium to full body, and sort of dry
Overall Impression:
I like this one, it is a pretty tasty IPA. You could qualm with this one by saying it doesn’t hit all of the styles general qualities, but it is pretty darn tasty. A nice IPA, plus, it has the name of my birth city in it’s name, so I can’t argue with that! I’m a bit surprised this is rated as low as it is, I thought it was pretty tasty.
