Apr 12, 2008 Bomber. Pours a clear amber with some floaters. Initial 2 finger head that hangs on farily well. Nice lacing. Nose is ripe citrus fruits mainly with malt background. Palate is light biting into a ripe tangerine at first, then starts to sour to grapefruit until it finishes with a pine bite. Beer has a medium mouth feel and the 10.5% alcohol is nicely hidden. Fantastic brew - this is at the top of my IIPAs.

Apr 9, 2008 Bottle. Musky hops, light smoke. Amber color with thick white head. Heavy alcohol presence and a muddled hop bitterness. All over the place and unbalanced.

Apr 8, 2008 Murky mix of orange and yellow with a light head. Big grapefriut citrus hop smell with some bready malt sweetness. Smooth medium body. A lightly sweet bready malt flavor is quickly overtaken by a big tart grapefruit hop taste. Very easy drinking, hard to spot the 10% here. 11157

Apr 7, 2008 Another over the top Imperial IPA that skirts the barleywine-sphere. Amber-orange with thick, foamy layer of head. Aroma is lovely and full of Cascades which translates to a blissful piny/citrusy Cascade flavor. Definitely a bottle to be shared, but this is outstanding.

Apr 4, 2008 Bottle from Sparky27. Pours a dark orange/amber color. I held this up to the light and it looked like syrup, or a liquid malt extract if you are a homebrewer. It had several pieces of hops evident in the brew. Smelled like I was about to walk into a pine tree and roll in it. Had a heavy mouthfeel and went down very smooth. Seemed a little bitter at the beginning. It got much better as I continued to drink it. Had wonderful flavors of hops with a nice malt base to back it up. I need more of this stuff!!!

Apr 4, 2008 Bomber. Wantlist bonus from drewbeerme. Thanks! Wow... 15 hops!?!?! Pours a slightly murky brown with a medium sized white head. Aroma is very complex... I don’t really know how to describe it completely... just a really complex hop aroma. Citrusy, woody, fruity, floral. They’re all there. Taste is more of the same. It’s spicy and it burns. In a good way. Body is a little bit thin. Very well done! This drinks even easier than Hopslam. Quite dangerous.

Mar 31, 2008 Amber with small white head. Sweet with fruity notes. Fruit, malt and bitter taste. Full body with a dry aftertaste.

Mar 31, 2008 An orange golden color with a small fizzy white head. A very complex hop nose. It is pretty obvious that there are tons of different kinds of hops in there. A good balance of grapefruit and caramelly sweetness. A nice tea and hop flavor. The cascade especially come through well. Has a thick oily texture that leaves a nice bitterness on the tongue.
