Jan 16, 2009 Pours murky amber with brownish hues. A quarter inch head of white fell quickly to reveal a few errant dots of lacework and a somewhat placid surface.
Aromatics are filled with pungent pine and grapefruit, with hints of peach, malt, and wet cardboard.
Medium bodied and crisp. Slightly syrupy with lightish carbonation.
An aggresive bitterness and earthy resins start the palate. Plenty of bark-like pine sap, with grapefruit zest and hop pellets.
Wet paper steps forward along with some warming alcohol, and plenty of roughish bitterness continues.
Finishes with lingering wet cardboard, oxidized hop pellets, and bitterly drying.
No bottle date found, but this ones not tasting too fresh and reaks of old pellets.
Some fresh, whole hops would make a world of difference.

Dec 30, 2008 An interesting find....A Phoenician in Jersey sees a Kokopelli that sparks interest....Saw this little gem on the shelves at a Bottle King at X-mas...Why not? Nice Beer!! Pours a golden yellow, with a little head....perfect balance of maltyness to alcohol...not one of those over-sweet double IPA’s. Very smooth, and it impressed even the wine snobs in the fam. You East Coaster’s have a decent DIPA on your hands...not the best, but a very good attempt!

Dec 19, 2008 20081219 Bomber from Abes. Shiny amber- gold with small but lacing white head. Pretty standard, mediocre IIPA aromas of citrusy, lightly resinous, lightly pithy hops and sweet malts. Reminds me of an orange cranberry muffin for some reason. Medium body with even but tingly eff. Nice amount of finishing bitterness but rounded out with a dose of fusel alcohol and mild astringency. Not one of the best efforts from Rock Art, and at PA prices, not exactly the bargain that usually makes these beers worth it.

Dec 12, 2008 Bottle. Pours with an amber to copper color and a nice large foamy head. Initially it seems ver simply constructed with some strong hops flavors and a thinner body. hen it warms up it becomes more complex with some malt shining through and a better profile.

Dec 7, 2008 Sampled at Big Pour Mesa, AZ. Murky and unfiltered. Cloudy yellow with small off white head. Fairly balanced between the malt and hops...grapefruit and orange peel. The pine is less prominant. Its a tad thin and has a bit of an iced tea flavor. Doesnt really leave me wanting more.

Dec 1, 2008 Bottle shared by robert at stateline. Golden color, good head. Sweet aroma of tangerines/oranges and hops. Taste is the same, sweet tangerine taste, good hop bite. The texture is light but not watery. Very easy to drink. Good beer
