Jan 9, 2009 Shared at tjthresh’s house - Aroma is strong hops and lots of malts. Both bready and full of citrus. Pours transparent gold with a small head and good lacing. Flavor starts off like the aroma with the hops leading the way. There is also some caramel and finishes a little dusty. Palate is crisp and tart with a malty finish. Tasty stuff.

Jan 7, 2009 Bomber. The wax cap is about a pain in the ass.Pours a cloudy, dirty, orange with lots of particles, hence the unfiltering. Splendid scents of orange, pine, grapefruit and toasted malt with some caramel thrown in. What a fantastic flavor of malt and pine, with an aftertaste of grapefruit. Very good amount of bitter in there. Slight alcohol finish with notes of grass, pine, and malt. The hop infusion in this beer in unbelieveable. the tastebuds arent sure if they are experiencing pepper, pine, citrus, or floral in the same drink...Good beer.

Jan 6, 2009 Pours a clear orange with a nice zesty head. The aroma is just what you want an IPA to be... some white grapes, grass and a slight hint of vegetable. The spiciness in the aroma hints at a dry desert... it’s a great start. The flavor starts sweet, with a wonderful buttery mouthfeel. The finish leaves a long shadow of spice. This beer is proof that IPAs dont have to be made in a lazy way that just pumps them full of hops up front and leaves nothing for later. Excellent.

Jan 4, 2009 uklar orange med et lille hvidt skum. Dufter af græs, tis, gær citrusfrugter. Smager af bagegær, citrus spicy og noget sødlig karamel. Kort hulmet eftersmag.

Dec 31, 2008 The bottle pours a nice hazy honey color with a large sudsy off white head. The first smell reminds me of autumn with a slight edge going towards pine and hops. My first taste wasn’t at all what I was expecting - it starts out sweet with caramel and toffee tastes dominating. The finish is very smooth (even oily?) and it takes a minute for the hops to appear at the edges of the tongue. It is extremely well balanced and does a nice job of hiding the 10.5% ABV. This is a very good beer for people that want to like hoppy beers but still prefer something less harsh. My overall impression is that this is a fairly good beer that I would drink again - but I don’t know that it’s worth the $10/bottle price tag.

Dec 18, 2008 When I bought this bottle I thought that the rubber seal over the cap was extremely cool. That enthusiasm lasted until I tried to open the damn thing. Almost cut my finger off! And then when I poured it I realized I had a chunk of rubber in my glass. Not cool. Anyway....It poured a dark gold with a diminishing 1 inch of head. Smells of pineapple, toffee, mango, and berries. Initial sip is sweet and syrupy that fades into deep bitterness. Interesting. Tasted notes of pineapple, caramel, resinous pine. Bitterness envelops my tongue as I empty the glass. The finish lasts and lasts. Decent but I was hoping it would have a bit more complexity to it, after all it is special enough for ST to coat the cap in rubber.
