Sep 1, 2009 Orange-golden color with a fluffy, persistent head. The smell is hoppy, caramel, taste is hoppy citrus flavors, good malts, creamy mouthfeel and a nicely bitter aftertaste. For 10% alcohol it is masterfully hidden. This is a great IPA and I really liked the brewery and staff when I visited. If you like IPA’s, hops, or just beers go get your hands on one of these somehow. Buttery qualities are the only detractors.

Sep 1, 2009 On tap at the Liberty. Pours a orange color with a nice white head to it. Smell is hoppy with a little bit of citrus. Extremly bitter bitter on first taste with a citrus pine finish. Not nearly as good Wipe Out

Appearance: Orange color, reminds me of a pumpkin.
Aroma: Strong aroma. Couldn’t quite put a finger on what it reminded me of. Perhaps a few of my early homebrew IPAs. Not too bad.
Flavor: Really, really bitter. Has sweet finish with lingering bitteress.
Palate: Low carbonation, though this may have been the result of a low quality glass with lots of nucleation points for CO2.
Overall: Not my favorite DIPA or PP offering.

Aug 25, 2009 On tap at Lunar Brewing Co. and poured to a snifter a hazy, orange/amber, with a modest white head that was mainly a foamy ring and some film. The aroma was juicy mid-fruit as apricot, with orange, a hint of pineapple, a little resin, and the lot sprinkled with sugar and some spice. The flavor was a strong, startling bitterness after being lulled by the juicy sweetness in the nose, warming alcohol, and balancing, appropriate malt. Very nicely done DIPA!

Aug 25, 2009 Bomber. Translucent orange-brown with a small creamy disc of foam that laces the glass all the way down. Great nose of flowery honey, grapefruit and resin mix. Flavor is similar with some nice earthy leaf, orange marmalade, mint and peppery oak notes mixed in. Just a tad too much alcohol for my tastes on the finish, but otherwise outstanding. Medium body is smooth and slightly watery so as to make this one dangerously chuggable.

Aug 21, 2009 What a great IPA. Pours a very cloudy orange yellow. Small white head. Amazing critus nose. Strong pine and grapefruit with huge bitter clean finish.

Aug 20, 2009 Bomber from Bullfrog in Williamsport, PA: Golden brown beneath a white head. Citrus and pine filled aroma complimented by caramel malts and apricot notes. Big tounge-coating pine needle bitterness. Lightly toasty caramel malts are present, but take a far backseat to the grapefruit like hop flavors. A tiny bit of warmth in the dry finish, but the alcohol is otherwise well hidden.

Aug 15, 2009 Updated: Aug 25, 2009(Draught) pours cloudy orange, murky with decent head and nice lace. Nose of mango, pine, pineapple, and grapefruit. Very fruity. Taste is very heavy on the hops, pineapple, and mango. Very good but the linger is almost too bitter. Utterly delicious overall.
