Jul 25, 2006 Poured a translucent bronze color from the bomber with a white, lacey head. Hoppy, but not overpowering, sweet aroma. Initial flavor is sweet and malty. The finishing flavor is sticky sweet and citrus. Nice IPA as it is not acidic or astringent, clean finish, nice beer. It’s billed as being very hoppy, which it isn’t but that’s ok. Subtle hops, solid flavor, nothing overwhelming.

Jul 25, 2006 Bottle. Clear dark amber body. Bubblegum, worty caramel, and brown sugar in the aroma. The flavor is an above-sweet caramel malt plus lime rind bitter hops. A subdued and OK IPA.

Jul 25, 2006 Amber body, thin soapy white head. Fruity carmel malt aroma. Hops? Dunno. Flavor.... argh, some type of food. What is that? Sweet grassy character. Light hop. Blah. I dunno. Needs more balance.

Jul 18, 2006 750ml Bottle: Nice sweet, fruity aroma. Smells of strawberry, floral hops, honey, fruit roll up, and a little malt. Poured amber color. Clear. Not sparkling. Minimal off white head that did not last. Good lacing. Flavor starts hoppy but quickly turns malty. Lightly bitter and medium sweet. Flavors of sweet hop quickly followed by caramel and toffee malts, then a yeasty, wet burlap finish. Flavor is more malt than hop, which is never good in an IPA. Unbalanced toward the malts. Not all that hoppy. Light to medium body. Soft carbonation. Lasting astringent finish. Overall, not a very good IPA, but not a bad pale ale.
Malty, bread, yeast.

Jul 11, 2006 Bomber poured light orangy copper with a small head. Beer is completely lucid. Aroma is present - hoppy (amarillo?) but not as strong as expected. Don’t think its been"aging" to long, its a recent beer. SO i don;t thin kthe hops have had a chance to fade yet Taste is also malt heavy, didn’t expect a new hop beer to be this malt dominated. Don’t think the hop heads would enjoy this. Taste is rather sweet with a present hop bitterness at the end.

Jul 11, 2006 Poured from the bomber a dark copper with a small beige head. Aroma was citrus hops with a caramel malt background and a touch of orange aroma lingering. Flavor was a caramel malt with a light offering of citrus hops.
