Commercial Description:
Torpedo is an assertive American IPA deep reddish-gold in color, with a smooth and bready malt presence and over-the-top hop aromas. The beer has a solid bitterness and a massive hop flavor, yet remains easy drinking with a pleasant dry finish.

SLIGHT WHITE HEAD, RUSTED CLOUDY GOLDEN BEER. HEAVLY HOPPED FLAVOR WITH LITTLE AROMA RICH IN THE BITTERNESS LIGHT ON THE CITRUS ALTHOUGH IT IS VERY DRY IT IS STILL QUITE REFRESHING AND SUPRISINGLY QUITE DELICIOUS.

bottled. Tall head which quickly dissapeared. Very floral and fruity aroma. Hoppy ofcourse, with delicate pine notes along with citrus. Medium hopbite to what I had imagined. This was consumed after a very hot day, and it was frightenly refreshing considering the abv. Nice stuff!

Bottle. Tall, off-white head. Piney hop aroma; very fruity, with a touch of malt. Floral, grassy hop flavor, citrus and pine, balanced malt. Very peppery and fruity, with nice flavor and decent balance. Nice stuff, with very subtle, flavorful hopping.

Color: Brown, orange Aroma: Elegant (rather than just powerful and resinous) floral, citrus/grapefruit and grapefruit rind, musty note, fresh, uncut grass Flavor: Starts with fruity malt, then comes the spicy, ripe orange and bitter grapefruit/rind, and finishes with a lingering fruity malt and hop bitterness. Comment: Outstanding. Superb quality malt is well balanced with the bittering & aromatic hops. Instructive to compare this to Caldera’s IPA. I’d eagerly drink another of these!

Amber colored with nice white head and fine lacing as the drink progresses. Aroma is piney, floral hops, light citrus with some red fruit undertones. Flavor has more toffee malt but still has ample grapefruit, lemon hops with an easy bitter finish. Mouthfeel is articulated with fine bubbles, becoming soft and pleasing late in the drink. Very nice and worth another purchase.

bottled. Solid IPA w/ dry hop finish. Nothing too complex but has a nice linger.

Clear copper coloured body with a tiny, lacing-head. Dried fruity aroma. The flavour is also made up by dried fruits layered with spices and herbs. Rounded and prolonged bitter ending. Fine made brew where flavour and aroma are well integrated. One-third pint glass from gravicask at GBBF, 04.08.2009.

Very hoppy full of pine and light citrus. Feels kind of oily from the hops. Long and bitter on the finish. Could easily become a regular in my fridge once I move back to the States. Very nice.
