Mar 13, 2009 Nice amber-straw body with what I am referring to from now on as a ’well articulated billowing head’. Big floral hop notes up front. Big doses of rich caramel malt that is sweet and smooth. Wide range of fruit notes, mainly orange and grapefruit citrus. High alcohol was well hidden. Mellow hop pine and light resin. Great drink - not over the top hop, a bit on the simple side of construction but really well done.

Mar 12, 2009 Interesting blend I suppose, but to me this was more or less another bottle of unearthly.

Mar 9, 2009 Updated: Apr 13, 2009Nice full bodied IIPA. Lots of balance in this one. The hops are very flavorful and bitter along the citrus vein but the malts are there too, providing a thickness for the bitterness and sweetness. This beer was very full bodied and thick, syrupy. It looks beautiful too.

Mar 7, 2009 Bomber, split three ways. A mixture of Hoppe and Unearthly? Sounds like a recipe for fun! Pours gold with a creamy head, certainly appearing to be a blend of the two mentioned beers. Aroma is very citrusy, with crisp lemon, kumquat, and grapefruit. Flavor has distinct hop profile, but with a mellowness that is uncharacteristic of DIPAs. There is a distinct lemon peel and flower profile, balanced beautifully with pale malt. Finish hides alcohol as good as any beer I’ve tried, also managing to mask much of the bitterness one would expect from a hoppy DIPA. A delicious blend, if anything I found the mid-body and finish to be missing just a little umph in flavor (or was it just the lack of bitterness?)

Mar 6, 2009 Pours with a clear, copper body topped by a medium thick head with a good amount of lacing. It’s sweet yet hoppy with fruity notes, a touch of bitterness, floral notes and a hint of pine and grapefruit. Medium to full bodied and remarkably smooth.

Mar 5, 2009 Absolutely one of my favorite beers of all time. I’ve taken many trips to Europe and several to Belgium and I rank this beer up with the Trappist Ales as a favorite.

Feb 28, 2009 aroma is very light hops. appearance is similarly subtle: straw yellow. flavor is no where near unearthly’s levels, very mellow. hop attack comes late, and displays itself in only the most tasteful, organic and earthy presence possible. nothing like the wild overwhelming bitterness offered by the two ’parents’ of this special brew. in every way possible, this is mellow and easy going, nothing at all like what i imagined. still a hop bomb by most standards, this is classy amongst southern tier’s often overstated offerings.
