Jul 20, 2009 Bottle. Nice beer i guess this would be somewhere in between an IPA and an Imperial IPA. Great hoppy IPA.

Jul 17, 2009 Bottle->shaker: Pours an average, rocky, off-white head atop a sparkling amber body. Aroma is nutty with flowers and perfume and some banana. The body is medium, texture creamy and alcoholic, with the finish being bitter. The flavor is moderately sweet and bitter. Another great hoppy brew.

Jul 13, 2009 Decent IPA. Could be hoppier but overall it’s a smooth beer and I’d drink it again.

Jul 12, 2009 Bomber compliments of DrBayern (thanks Matt), poured a lovely orange hue, aroma evident of hops and grapefruits. Flavour much the same, excellent beer.

Jul 10, 2009 RnH: I don’t like IPA, however, I would imagine this is what IPA’s are supposed to taste like. Wicked hops all over the nose, nice clear, amber pour into a modest head. As expected, the bitterness of the multitude of hops attack the front tongue, giving way to a load of florals and earth. Carbonation is medium, finish is the trademark IPA bitterness.

Jul 9, 2009 Original review date 3/1/2008...
12 oz. bottle poured into Hess truck glass...
Clean and clear body with light carbonation and honey/apple juice/butterscotch color. Average head with decent lacing.
Bountiful hops are mostly floral with a little bit of grass (first whiff reminds me of catnip?!). There’s also a little honey and a lot of grapefruit. Sweet and tangy aroma.
The hops are in front and well-presented but this is not about a balanced effort. Slight off taste at first (dog blanket?). Alcohol is well-concealed, probably mostly by the carbonation. Malt completes the backbone but its flavor is slow to emerge until the offering warms a little bit. Well-made but was expecting to be wowed a little more.
This is very clean and clear with, of course, strong hop pucker. The deep, bitter hop finish is very enjoyable. A little citrus tang goes a long way here. Body is not too thick on the mouth and there’s not a lot of alcohol burn.
Very clean drinking - again, this is all about the hops! Well done.
