Jun 8, 2008 Amber color, moderate head with solid lacing and retention. Citric, grapefruit aroma, focused towards bitterness. Medium to full body, big bitterness. Not bad, I prefer different/better hop flavors though. The rest was nice though.

May 28, 2008 Pine resin nose with floral infusion. Orange to copper color, small soft head that dissipates quickly- no lace. Hop bomp, sweet malt, more hops, hop juice. Sweet hop juice- not much else. A novel hop expression- just ok.

May 27, 2008 Bomber. Pours a clear amber with one finger cream head. Nose is mild floral hops, malt and pine. Palate is Caramel malt upfront with come citrus and a bitter resin bite in the finish that lingers like the grim reaper. Medium mouth feel with nice lacing. An ok DIPA, a bit run of the mill.

May 27, 2008 650 ml bottle from Bevmo. Pours a translucent copper color with a big sudsy off white head. The aroma is moderate in strength with citrus, pine and a bit of sweet spruce. The flavor is hops forward with a fair biter bite, layered well beneath the biter hops is a bit of caramel and more pine. The mouthfeel is full and malty. The finish is medium in duration and dry. Overall: This is a good IIPA, but it seemed to me to be a just a tad one dimensional, relying on the biter hops just too much.

May 7, 2008 appears that this is being brewed again... crystal clear copper color with a thin off white head. floral hops hit the nose first... followed by citrus, light pine, brown sugar, sweet grains and some kind of fruitiness that i can’t place. surprisingly dry palate.. or not too sweet? flavors of wood, evergreen-y, tangerine pith and grainy sweetness. lightly bitter dry finish with a candy like aftertaste. medium body but it leaves a phlegmy texture in the back of my throat.

May 5, 2008 Bottle: Pours an opaque copper color with a tan head. Aroma, citrus, pine, caramel notes, some brown sugar. Flavor, caramel, a piny bitterness, big malty notes. Bottle was probably a bit past it’s prime, but still solid.

Apr 29, 2008 22 oz. bottle from BevMo (Tucson) - Glad to see this beer is being brewed again. When Green Flash stopped brewing this I wasn’t sure when it would appear agian. Pours a hazy amber color with a 3/4 finger thick off white head. Very light spotty lacing. Aroma is big pine, citrus, and floral hops. Flavor is mostly hops with a touch of residual malt sweetness. Suprisingly, there is very little astringency to the aftertaste. Medium body. Alcohol isn’t overbearing. Overall, a decent 2IPA.
