Dec 22, 2007 Hazy orange pour with a lasting creamy beige head atop. Smell is nice and aromatic with big fruity, citrusy hops in the nose. Taste was hopped but not nearly as much as expected and had strong notes of orange, peachiness to it. Candied bitter orange peel flavor to it. Much more balanced than expected. Decent body and a bitter orange finish. Mild alcohol presence but a very nicely drinkable IIPA. My rating will probably go up drinking this in more than a sample glass size at a time and looking forward to trying it again.

Dec 16, 2007 Bomber courtesy of alexanderj, shared with kleyland before the Liverpool v. Manchester United match. Pours a hazy orange color with a good amount of floaties. Medium sized off white head. Very sweet grapefruit aroma. Body is nice and thick. The flavor is a really nice balance of sweet malts and the citrus hops. I would have prefered a bit more hops near the backend, but maybe my palate wasn’t ready to work at 7:00 a.m.

Dec 16, 2007 Bottle, many thanks to bu11zeye for this one. Pours a clear orange amber color with a small off-white head. Malty and very hoppy grapefruit aroma. Sweet malty very bitter and slightly harsh flavor with lots of citrus hints. Long hoppy grapefruit finish going over to a long bitter aftertaste. Very good!

Dec 14, 2007 Had this numerous times. Pours a very pale orange. Not so much head but the aromas take over all my senses. The apricot and grapefruit rise up from my tulip. The flavor was great and is one of the best IIPA I have ever had.
