Bottle. Hmm I really wanted to like this beer but it is just way too sweet. There is some decent amount of hops in there, nice floral and piney hops to boot. However, it gets overwhelmed by this cloying sweetness. Way too much added candied sugar. Also a noticeable alcohol hotness detracts.

Dec 19, 2009 Better head than you ex. Dark, translucent amber. Middle school textbook, light workout gymbag aroma. Flavor has a splif hop and flat malt character. The feel is initially weak, quickly develops to a quick, sharp, hill country bite, and subsides with a light sour malt floral hop character. Slight after-fizz on the finish.

Dec 10, 2009 Hazy gold or dull copper. Short white head with some average lacing. The aroma was heavy on citrus hops and unchecked alcohol. The flavor was spicy citrus and some booze towards the finish. The mouthfeel was oily and slick. Not great.

Nov 22, 2009 Bomber. Pours an average, creamy, off-white head. Lacing. Clear, deep copper body. Great looking beer. Big, sticky, resinous grapefruit and pine nose. Flavor is of thick and chewy caramel and hops. Grapefruit and some mandarin orange. A dash of alcohol also comes through. Full bodied, average carbonation. Somewhat sticky and goopy. Overall a fairly enjoyable DIPA. It’s big, but not too brash.
