Jan 23, 2008 I love this beer. I know it isn’t hard to make something taste good that’s only 5.5%, but these hops have real character. A very apple-citrus-floral arrangement gives the flavor its allure and tinges the color that enticing red-orange that all the girls on your block will go crazy for. For me, one of their top 2 beers.

Jan 21, 2008 Bomber from BBB63! Nose is piney, floral, citrusy hops; copper with a big straw head; flavor is mild hop bitterness, a light fruitiness, and some caramel; finish is slightly bitter. Good IPA but not great!

Jan 20, 2008 Thanks to lb4lb for the bottle! Pour is a coppery orange with a nice white head. Good lacing.Aroma of fresh piney hops and sweet malt. Flavor is pretty bitter up front with great fresh hops dominating. Bitter finnish but malt is present as well. Medium bodied and a good beer.

Jan 18, 2008 Bottle courtesy of my brother. Poured a nice orange color with small to minimal head. Aroma was fantastic; grapefruit and fruit/citrus. Flavor was good for a harvest/fresh hop ale. Smooth and clear; decent amount of hops in the finish, but not substantial. Palate was solid. Great sessionable.

Jan 18, 2008 Bottle, courtesy of alexanderj. Orange pour with almost no head. Aroma of peaches, citrus / grapefruit. The flavor is the same, sweet from the fruit initially, and with a dry grainy malt finish (like an APA finish). Good fresh-hop beer, almost no bitterness.

Jan 17, 2008 22 oz bomber. Pours a clear orange caramel with a medium sized creamy beige head. Floral hop aroma with hints of grapefruit, pineapple, papaya and pine. Taste is floral hoppy with hints of mango, pineapple, pine and citrus. A bit watery, but great for a 5.5 % beer.

Jan 16, 2008 Bomber courtesy of sprinkle -- thanks!
Pours a glowing beautiful clear orange with a nice white head. Great fresh-hop aroma: leafy and green, a bit of mint, a little bit of pine resin but not cascade levels thereof. Lovely juicy hop flavor - peach and grapefruit, a bit of pineapple - mild malt sweetness, tender bitterness massaging the tongue on the finish, again that fuzzy summer mint leaf, soft bitter oils. Supremely drinkable, never too sweet, never too malt-driven, gorgeous at 5.5%.
What a splendid IPA! One of the best I’ve had in a long time.
