Aug 24, 2006 22oz bottle poured a clear golden color with a small white head that faded quickly. Aromas of citrus hops and some light caramel malts. Taste had a nice bitterness with a big dry hoppy finish. Didn’t think that should be rated so low, but maybe I got a good fresh batch.

Aug 15, 2006 Bomber.
What a dog. I hadn’t read anything about this beer, so I actually had moderately high hopes until that first whiff of stewed corn dashed my hopes like October for a
Cubs fan. Malty, vegetal aroma; sweet vegetal taste, stale, a bit of astringent hops in there but they are neither pleasant nor strong enough to mask the fact that the other aspects of the beer are miserable. I managed to get through one pint but the rest of the bomber went down the drain. This is not a beer I’d willingly revisit.

Jul 10, 2006 Jeez - after being so impressed with their stout I was wondering if this really came from the same brewery. Not horrid, but very pedestrian. Seemed like a weird hop soda, which isn’t bad, but sure as hell didn’t blow my socks off. Murky and muddled and nearly comic.

Jun 22, 2006 Pours a hazy pale yellow. Aroma is more like a pilsner than an IPA - did they use Saaz hops? In the mouth it’s overwhelmingly bitter, and again reminds me of a pilsner. It’s really bitter and not much else. Some alcohol warming. Didn’t really like this one.

Jun 7, 2006 Poursa cloudy golden hue with a frothy slight off=white heas. Aromas of pine, citrus, a little cereal and a light toffee essence. Mouthfeel is medium to full-bodied with flavors of cereal, honey with a decent bitterness. The thickness of this brew for an IPA is overpowering.

May 28, 2006 Thin aroma. First sip is aggressive raw hops that are so strong it makes the rest of the beer seem like water in the background. With successive sips a strong malt sweetness rises up to match the hops. The malt and the hops jostle back and forth in your mouth in a manner that reminds me of Scarlett Fire. Grapefruit character of the hops comes through in the finish.

Apr 20, 2006 Bottle. Amber beer with a white head. Fruity citrus and summer fruit aroma with sweet malt backing. Citrus hops with a good malt backing - caramel and a bit of chocolate. Earthy hops and moderate bitterness. Easy drinking. Bit of a dry-hop grassiness.

Apr 19, 2006 Not a very drinkable brew. Hazy, pale amber in body with a with a ring-around-the-glass for a head, it has a pungent, earthy aroma atop some sweet caramel with traces of floral and orange zest. The flavor is also earthy with some sweet malt and old grapefruit peels. It finishes on a dirty, bitter note - not very pleasant. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?
