Oct 11, 2008 22 oz bottle server in shaker. Pours a deep, slightly cloudy honey color, with lively carbonation consisting of small bubbles. Minimal head. Spicy pine resin aroma, with some sweetness. Medium-bodied mouthfeel is oily, but sports a lively carbonation that bursts on your tongue. Flavor is sweet up front, fading to a long, bitter finish with tart sweetness and spice along the way. This is an excellent double IPA, with a major sweetness to offset the hop attack.

Oct 8, 2008 22oz bottle served in a Duvel tulip. Sunset orange body topped by a creamy off-white head. Nose of citrus, mango, pineapple, caramel. Deep bitterness lingers as pineapple, citrus, tea, and pine flavors wash over your mouth. Ever so slight hint of alcohol makes an appearance toward the end of the glass. Very good stuff.

Oct 7, 2008 From a 22 oz bottle this poured a copper-orange with small head and light lacing. Nose is citrus hops. Very clean and rich mouthfeel. Very rich flavor with great bitter hops perfectly balanced with the malts.. Very nice bitter finish. Wonderful beer.

Oct 5, 2008 Pours a good orange color. Smells strongly of hops and tastes extremly strongly of hops. Too much hoppy bitterness for me.

Oct 5, 2008 Updated: Aug 28, 2009This is perfect IPA for me. Rich and deep orangey golden color. Loads of citrusy hops on the nose, super complex with floral compenents. Palate is huge without being too heavy. Mix of pine and tangerine citrus on the palate, with a liberal dose of malt thrown in for balance. Long finish, even at 10% it leaves you wanting more when done with the bomber. Keep it up guys! and thank you for making more than you used to so I can drink it without going to CA.

Oct 2, 2008 Beautiful. I bought a bomber at Arrow Liquormart in Littleton, CO. It has a darkish orange to light amber color, I dig the darker IPA’s. The aroma is amazing, very citrusy. The taste starts out with some sweetness and hop flavor from late or dry hopping, and then it progresses to bitterness... It’s a fun ride! You can tell that it’s continualy hopped, the hop flavor is so complex. It melds really well with the malt, which is discernable but not overbearing. For a double IPA, this has a great balance. Buy it.
