Thanks to Sickboy for this one....Wonderful hoppy aroma on the pour, citrus and grapefruit. The apperance just said, "drink me". That means its a nice copper color with a decent sized head. The flavor is very nice, super hoppy but with enough malt balance that it doesn’t ruin the beer. Very dry and bitter and I love it. I need to find some more of this somewhere.....east coast can suck for hops sometimes...super beer thanks again man!!!

Orangish color some viz carb and an off white head thick and well laced. Thick creamy palate. Big hop aroma grass citrus and orange rind w/ some carmel hidden behind all the hop. Big blend of hops citrus, grass, a dry bitter and a nice carmel offset in a smooth finish. This was amazing. Tried this on cask at Solana Beach. Don’t know if it should be a different rating or not. But the stuff on cask was a 5 in appearance w/ huge sticky lacing everywher and I’d probably bump it to a 9 or 10 in flavor as it was just so well blended and smoothed and soo damn good.

Pours a medium orange color, oily syrupy looking....equally so on the palate. Smells like it was made from mass quantities of 15 different types of hops plus a nice dose of caramelish malts...still, while sweetness is detected, it’s all about grapefruity piney hops Flavor is mildly sweet, nice alcohol kick, a little spicy....very interesting. Not perfectly balanced, but still pretty close. Full bodied and finished dry...very dry. Thanks TAR!

hop bomb, I love it. Aroma is spicy and piney. great chewy body and incredible hop flavor of grass and a ligering pine syrup. A great beer overall, nice finish as well.

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.

Bottle. Pours hazy copper with small off-white head, lacing. Nose has pungent passionfruit, fresh oranges, lemon peel, mild pineyness and a bit of honey. Aroma is really robust, filling up the nostrils. Flavor is lightly sweet, toffee, hints of soil/earth, mild pine and light bitterness. Lingering moderate bitterness and resiny oiliness in the finish.

[Bottle] shared by timbeer. Pours a bright hazy orange with a small off white head. Aroma is loaded with mango, lots of sweet malty backbone, some tangerine zest, just a little pine, and a little bit of alcohol. Flavor is significantly more piney, and not at sweet as I was expecting based on the aroma. Medium mouthfeel, fresh, green, bitter hops, citrus, and more piney hop resin. Awesome bitter and slightly dry finish.

Growler from the brewery. Not sure what to say other than if you like 2IPAs this beer is a must have. Beautiful golden orange with a thin white head. Tremendously hoppy and floral nose with traces of orange peel, tangerine, lemon and grapefruit. Flavor is actually somewhat spicy and moderately bitter. You can pull out hints of freshly cut grass, pine, lemon and grains of paradise. The bitterness is nicely balanced by a touch of malty sweetness. Body is sticky and resinous, but not overly heavy or syrupy. Mild carbonation shows off the hop flavors which are rich and noticeably throughout. Has a quick, dry, resiny like finish. Definitely among the elite 2IPAs available anywhere. Another winner from Tomme.
