Bottle from QFC - Seattle (Ballard)
Hazy amber color, with creamy head. Mild manure aroma at first, followed by some malt and caramel. Lean mouthfeel, a bit oily, with good caramel flavor, but without vibe; strong hopping, carrying some chewy resin and not much fruitiness; long final.
Powerful but not much elegant.

Bomber from Binny’s, March 2011. Yep, should’ve popped this long ago. Smell after pouring shows a bit of phenoll from far away, but gives up a nice big hoppy nose when held closer. No alcohol in the nose at the start. Clear orange-ish amber body, rocky head. Lots of lace in the glass after the foam subsides. Happy hop taste of citrus—orange juice, in fact—with backing of pine and resin. malts are suitably sticky, but I dunno. The mouthfeel is a little bit thin to be holding up this hop load. Other IIPA’s I’ve had were very warming and cozy, even with a buttload of hops.

Bottled. An amber beer with a yellowish head. The aroma has notes of grapefruits, wood, peaches, hops, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel, grapefruits, alcohol, malt, and a bit of wood, leading to a bitter finish.

Bottle 35,5 cl. Courtesy of Doodler. Clear golden with an off-white head leaving a discreet lacework. Thick juicy and greasy hops in the nose. Thick body with quite some fruit and again heavy and citrusy aroma hops. Bitter finish. Not the most sophisticated DIPA, but ok. 120412

Bottle thanks to Sarah. Pours a clear reddish amber with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has notes of grass and grapefruit with a backing cereal and sweet grains. Flavor starts with grass and citrus but finishes with more of a resinous pine and sweet grain in the finish.

Bright golden-amber. The aroma is earthy with light simcoey citrus notes. Earthy, but lacking brightness, this is a mix of stale hops and caramelly malts. Once upon a time, I liked this brewery, but these days...I don’t know.
