Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: slightly cloudy copper to golden amber with a subtle transparency about it, a one and a half fingers of white foamy head dissipated after a little bit and left some light lace
Aroma: juicy citrusy hops with some orange marmalade, subtle tobacco leafy tones, and a touch of earthy hops then that meshes with a caramel/toffee malt backbone
Flavor: bittersweet all the way through and providing an extra under layer of piney/resiny hoppiness; light aftertaste of citrus, oranges and piney tones
Texture: medium to full bodied, she's definitely a sipper; fairly smooth along my tongue; some hop harshness but nothing really showing flaws; finishes bittersweet through citrusy/piney tones and caramel/toffee malts
Overall: wow, so a Quadruple IPA, yes, I know not an accepted style (or at least not yet) but I say it works as that ABV does come across as noticeable.

I didn’t think I could possibly like a 14.5% ipa as generally anything over 10% tends to be way too malty for my liking and lack balance. Deep golden amber color. Amazing,
Slightly sweet, nose of marmalade, cake, all spice and apple pie. Super thick full bodied with full on hop and malt assault. The same intense notes in the nose remain there in the palate. Super full bodied. Amazingly this only show a bit of warmth in the finish but generally the alcohol is well hidden. Marmalade and cake last. It’s totally drinkable and the half pint I go is going down way too fast. This is a masterpiece to pull off 14.5% abv. Super impressive.

Bomber from brewery. Clear, pale with small foamy head. Strong hoppy aroma, cleaning solution. Hops also rule the taste, big, potent, lots of alcohol warmth. Sipper.

22oz bottle thanks to stevoj pours out crisp golden topped with a sand head. Nose is big sweet toffee caramel malts pine citrus hops. Taste is more of the nice sweet honey caramel malts pine citrus hops and a big booze kick.

Bottle/Fest. A- Pine, caramel, bready. A- Yellow color, hazy liquid, white head. T- Pine, bitter, citrus, cleaner. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, bitter finish. O- Definitely more IPA than Quad, no doubt. Was hoping for some more brown sugar, candied fruit, etc. notes but mostly just got a lot of bitterness.

22oz bomber pours with a near clear gold body that supports a light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up mango, cantaloupe, thin spicy hops, booze, and little else. The taste delivers mango, cantaloupe, ripe clementine and tangelo as well as orange flavored gummy bears. Wow. For such a huge beer this maintains a pleasing level of finesse. Nice. The massive abv is pretty well hidden.

10oz draft pour at Lost Dog - Alexandria. Poured a clear, golden copper color with a small white head. Aroma was lots of pine resin notes, sweet caramel notes. Light candi. Flavor was caramel malts, juicy, hoppy. Alcohol is very well hidden.
