Apr 13, 2007 Gift from MrBendo. Amber colored nice foamy tan head. Amazing pine aroma. Heavy hitting hop flavors of citrus and plenty of delicious malt creamy to make my mouth water for more. Finish is a heavy hard hop happiness!!! Loved it.

Apr 8, 2007 Aroma is malt. Just kidding, but there is some malt nose. It’s grapefruity hop and a bit of resin. Ripe stone fruit color, pretty translucent, likely unfiltered. Not much head, but it laces in thin little lines. Starts with hop, quickly becoming grapefruity, but there’s enough malt to make a strong impact. However, no doubt about the finish; bitter all the way. Maybe some malt sticks through the finish, but it’s questionable.

Apr 7, 2007 Updated: Apr 8, 2007This beer pours a murky amber color with a fat, frothy, sticky head. The lacing was perfect. The smell hits you as you pop the top. Big hoppy goodness with orange, grapefruit and maybe a soapy kind of smell. The first sip jumps right to back of your tongue and messes it all up. Very bitter, but very, very nice. The mouthfell is rocking and the palate is rolling. After a tough day, this is just what the doctor ordered.

Apr 1, 2007 Beer has intense grapefruit and pine aroma. Color is reddish amber. Flavor is more of that intense hoppiness, but there is some sweetness at the end making this a very nice IIPA. I really like the intense hops, but it is still nice and malty. I like it!

Mar 22, 2007 Updated: Oct 25, 2007Bomber, nearing the end of its time. Clear orange color with a large head. Fair lacing. Aroma of grapefruit and oily resin as well as caramel. Good caramel backbone. It’s getting to the point where all my IIPA descriptions sound the same. There’s nothing spectacular about this, but it’s better than average.

Feb 10, 2007 Deep amber-gold, nice puffy head. Nose HUGELY hoppy, traditional West Coast IIPA-esque blast of citrus and bitterness. First impression is a spectacular mouthfeel, incredibly rich and creamy, explodes around the mouth with luscious hoppy grapefruit. Bitterness is wonderfully balanced with chewy, sweet malts, some peppery spiciness there as well. Great balance. Insanely drinkable. Yum.

Feb 9, 2007 I instantly smelled the hops once I opened the bottle. I tasted pine and grapefruit. Good lacing left on the glass.

Feb 7, 2007 Updated: Jul 9, 2007Nice clear amber pour with orange hues and a strange near-neon green tinge to it. Adequate lacing left behind by a creamy light beige head, decent retention. Pine and grapefruit aroma, very lively. That’s pretty much it. Fresh, basic. Smells a little spicy and peppery. Flavor: now I see why this has good ratings. Extremely well balanced and drinkable. Soft citric hops, sufficient malt. Nice drying and agreeable finish. Full mouthfeel, very balanced palate. Pretty tasty DIPA.
