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.

Too overdone, cludy and thin in body--huge hoppiness that was nearly undrinkable with warming. Nice color and lace.

Botle pours a deep golden orange. Nice yellowish sandy colored head. Nice malt and hop medley going on in the aroma. Distinguishable if not powerful citrus and piney hop notes. Modest malt backbone, but does fine as a hop carrier. fair carbonation and a moderate lingering bitterness. Still wish for more hops up front.

Pour is a clear gold body with a thin but lasting white head. Big grapefruit flavor initially with a dry finish. Pretty good IPA.

Bottle->tulip: pours a large, rocky, off-white head that exhibits spare lacing atop a murky, orange body. Aroma of cookie, perfume, and leather. The body is medium, texture sticky, with average carbonation, finishing chalkily. The flavor’s duration is long, being moderately acidic and bitter.

Bottled. Frothy tan head. Orange citrus aroma and flavor. Bitter unbalanced finish. Earthy floral tones. Overall sierra nevada’s regular IPA is much better.

Bottle: The aroma consists of moderate citrus hops, tropical fruits, and a hint of pineapple. It pours a transparent amber with a small white head that fades to a very thin film. The flavor starts with a light tropical fruitiness. The finish has moderate citrus hoppiness and a hint of pineapple. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

How the hell have I not rated this yet? A fabulous IPA in my opinion, and readily available in my area...even better! Beautiful golden color with a frothy white head that lasts throughout the entire glass. Aroma is citric and peppery, loaded with crisp hops. Lots of pine needle and sap in the flavor, well-balanced with the malt content underneath. Finishes dry, clean, and refreshing. I could drink this all day long. Yum!

I can see it’s quite popular but just didn’t do it for me. Our friends over the pond do some brilliant IPA’s but in my opinion this wasn’t one of them. Strong hop aroma with citrus thrown in. Similar flavour, dry finish. Far from anything wrong with it, just not for me.
