Butters (1622), Virginia, USA Sep 7, 2009 Bomber sampled at Butters’ 1500 / MmmcKay’s 200 tasting. Clear orange pour with good off white head. Nose is simply a wonderful boquet of floral hops that melds together beautifully in the flavor with honey and pine. Abv is very well hidden. Perfectly balanced. Phenominal. Barrios (852), Nashville, Tennessee, USA Sep 7, 2009 Pours an off-white head with some lacing and a golden-amber body. Aromas of citrus and floral hops along with honey. Flavor is the same with a malt backbone to back it up. Finish is citrus, floral, and a little sticky. chimpscampee (556), Madison, Wisconsin, USA Sep 7, 2009 best impy IPA I’ve ever tried. Hides the alcohol behind well balanced delciate taste Gypsy19 (602), California, USA Sep 5, 2009 Pours a medium orange with a medium white head. Aroma is very fresh with massive hops and light fruit, citrus. Flavor repeats with nice crisp fruit and hops all the way through. Dry finish. Full mouthfeel. Not quite Pliny The Elder, but still a world-class DIPA. Overall, excellent. fata2683 (836), Panama City, Florida, USA Sep 4, 2009 bottle thanks to Ughsmash! Pours a light carmel with a tall frothy light tan head. Citrus hop and grapefruit aromas with some pine resin notes. First sip is just a huge wow. This beer is so big on many levels. The malt is nice and bready, mildly sweet with toasted nut flavors and a carmel undertone. The hops are strong and pronounced but not over bearing, lots of pine and grapefruit with a nice linger in the finish. It’s still dry, but with a hop wollop on the back of the tongue. This is powerful stuff! ColoradoMatty (16), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Sep 3, 2009 One the BEST DIPAs I have ever had. Smooth and truely a hophead’s dream! Details below. MalReever (4), , Delaware, USA does not count Sep 3, 2009 Great citric hop aroma, great color with nice thick head. Tremendous bitterness from the hops, but not overwhelming the malt. Vas19 (293), Maryland, USA Sep 3, 2009 Pours red amber with a thick off white head. Aroma is delicious citrusy hops with a perfect malty background. Flavor is strong caramel malt with a great hop finish. Very tasty.
