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.

Thank you for finally arriving in Houston, Sir Torpedo. No need for any other descriptive fodder, as I would like to enjoy the rest of this first sampling in the glass beside me. Taste on the pallet is almost dead on with the given commercial description. Enjoy.

Bottle. Lovely pale amber color, with a nice white head. Nose is fresh with grape fruit and malts as the dominant features. Flavor is very nicely balanced. The fruity hops are certainly the dominating force, but they compliment the malty body in a splendid way. All in all a very nice brew (as is usually the case with this brewer).

Clear reddish golden colour with small white head. Sweetish fresh delicious fruity piney hoppy aroma. Dry bitter hoppy flavour with pine, grapefruit and resin. Long lasting dry bitter hoppy aftertaste.

Pours light amber with an off white head. Aroma is fruity, citrusy hops. Flavor is a nice blend of citrusy, floral, and piny hop flavors. Pretty good.

Pours orange with an off white head. Aroma is pine and citrus hops and a bit of caramel malt. Flavor is big on hops, mostly pine and a little citrus, with a bit of caramel.

Pours a deep, hazy orange with moderate beige head, mostly diminishing. Aroma of hops and grass with orange, grapefruit, yeast and tangerine noticeable. Light caramel malt presence. Taste is fairly dry and very bitter, lingering after finish. All of this is done very well as a hoppy, yet balanced pffering. Excellent lacing through the finish - Cheers to Chico!

12 oz. bottle from Ludlow Wines. Pours a somewhat cloudy orange-amber that is more gold at the bottom and more amber up high. Big off-white head that leaves some nice lacing behind. Hoppy aroma, with floral notes, pine, citrus, and caramel malt. Bitter hop taste with notes of grapefruit and orange citrus, pine, caramel malts, and a little soapiness. Bold and bitter with a bitter hop aftertaste. Medium bodied with average carbonation. This one gets even hoppier and more bitter as it goes down. Long aftertaste. Strong IPA.
