| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 15, 2009 Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma of citrus and lots of light fruits (apple, pear, apricot). Flavor is also quite fruity with the same highlights of apple, pear, and apricot. Some citrus hops in the finish. Not overly hoppy -- lots of sweet fruity malt dominates. It seemed more like an ESB to me. Overall, very enjoyable and drinkable.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Oct 30, 2009 Bomber from Wine and Cheese. Pours a hazy light amber with a 5-finger off-white head. Nice floral/resin aroma. Near medium body with frothy carbonation. Flavor seems more floral than resin or citrus. It definitely is bitter. It’s a very pleasant drink. Not for NW hopheads, but certainly for anyone who wants a consisently flavorful and bitter ale. HarmonKill-a-Brew (320), Wilmar, Arkansas, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 29, 2009 Aroma earth and pine. Flavor was hoppy/piney. Mouthfeel was a little thin. Not a bad IPA, but I have had better... this one was lighter than most I have had. OzarkElmo (134), Poplar Bluff, Missouri, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 9, 2009 On tap in tasting room at winery/brewery. Deep orange color with small off-white head, mostly diminishing. Aroma of citrus, malt, pine, and a spice. Medium body with nice crisp finish. Lacing throughout. Above average offering and I would purchase again. The establishment is in a beautiful setting of rolling hills tucked 1.5 miles or so off state road. I recommend this place over Crown Valley anyday - Cheers! puggy211 (596), cordova, Tennessee, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Jul 12, 2009 It’s an OK IPA but nothing great. It’s got a bit of citrus and earthiness to it, but it tends to be spritzy in flavor and palate. Eh, OK. OldGrowth (1433), North Carolina, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jun 10, 2009 bottle, from trade with Strykzone. OK aroma, little grassy, little grapefruit, caramel, wet cardboard, little oxidized. Clean brownish orange color, good head with spotty lace. Mild bitter flavor, not unlike aroma. Medium body, oily mouthfeel, bitter finish, Meh, really ok at best, nothing to latch onto to hold my interest. Looked good.....
