22 oz brown wax topped bomber into a tulip glass. I enjoyed this one in early Sept. 2011.

Pours a slightly hazed copper, with a several overly foamy fingers of off-white head. This eventually shrinks down to a rich ½ finger, which just drenches the sides of the glass with thick foamy swathes of lace. The aroma is floral, with a touch of a leafy dankness to it, and I’m sad to find, some mineral (almost metallic) off-notes. Citric fruit and malt add a bitter smelling twang across the back of the nose.

The taste has a bright grapefruit character to it that intertwines with a herbal feel. Malts are sweet across the back and help balance out the bulk of that leafy bitterness. Pine and pith finish this strong, with a moderate dryness that sticks to the tongue. Unfortunately, there is a bit of unwanted tartness going on here that makes me think (along with the off nose and overly foamy pour) that there is an infection starting to take shape here. The mouthfeel is medium bodied but as you would expect, is heavily overly carbonated. There is however some underlying slickness here to this and I will say that the sharpness does start to die down after a while.

This was the initial bottling of this beer and well, it showed. Something obviously got in here. It’s a shame to, as I had an opportunity to sample this on tap as well at the same liquor store that I purchased the bottle from and it showed some real promise.

12 oz. can:

Pours hazed orange amber with a thin creamy head that leaves lacing.

The smell is citric/tropical (orange, some pineapple), herbal with a touch of caramel.

Oddly, the taste doesn't match the nose. Some orange peeks through, but it is overwhelmed by aspirin. A subtle hint of caramel comes through. Bitter finish.

I love hop-forward beers, but this is a bit chalky, and the hops are aromatic and bittering, but not juicy. It's drinkable, but there are so many better examples of the style.

Amber appearance, full on inch of head, white. Aroma wasn't hoppy enough. Some there, not enough, maybe zero dry hopping even.

Taste, another bomber ipa that just drops bitterness and not a lot of flavor. Too much caramalt. Really average ipa, at an expensive format.

Dark honey in appearance, the head laces well but fades extremely quickly. The smell is where it's at with one. The hops explode out of the top of the glass and the aroma is wonderful. Taste is better than average, but not quite among the elite, there is something slightly off balance with the bite although it does end with a nice bit of sweetness. Mouth feel is a little thin to me for some reason, but overall I think this one is growing on me.
