Bottle thanks to blutt59. Pours with a hazed golden body and a small white head. Aroma of pine, tangerine and orange. Taste is pine, caramel and orange. Alcohol is well hidden, and I didn’t realize this was an IIPA when drinking it, so it has a decent amount of drinkability on that part. Light carbonation.

Location: 22 oz bottle from Norm's, 8/11/09

Aroma: Citrus fruits, grapefruit, a bit of grass, some light caramel maltiness as well
Appearance: Clearish orange-copper color, fluffy off-white head, nice lacing
Flavor: I tasted a nice hop character up front (nice mix of citrus and pine hops), and some lingering malts (caramel, maybe a bit of biscuit) in the end palate, some balanced, but pretty hoppy
Palate: Nice mouthfeel, long duration, minimal alcohol burn, dry
Overall Impression: I liked this beer a lot. A really solid example of a style I absolutely love. Found this one to be balanced enough for non super hopheads, but still hoppy enough for the hopheads to enjoy. Not the best IIPA out there, but something I would certainly drink again.

**Just submitted a Photo for this one as well, as it was missing one.

Bomber. Pours a transparent copper with a massive and fluffy head. Aromas of sweet citrus and tropical fruit-like hops come rushing at me from arm’s length and closer inspection don’t reveal much more. In fact, the aromas seem to be stronger from further away... Flavor is sweet and alcoholy... almost a butterscotch flavor and lots of caramel, but then with a lot of alcohol and hops in the finish. This is pretty odd stuff... I don’t know what the deal is, but the hops seem to be a tease and they are pretty hard to pick out over the malty sweetness. 12 ounces of this would be vastly superior to 22... It’s not awful, but that will be more than enough of it.

22 ounce bottle from Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a clear reddish amber color with a medium head. Decent head retention and lacing. Nice floral hop aroma with citrus and berry notes. Taste is very fruity with citrus, plum and berry notes as well as bitter resiny notes throughout. Medium-full bodied. Two consecutive New Holland beers that didn’t disappoint... I’m shocked!

On tap at New Holland. Deep orange/amber body, medium off-white head. Potent aroma of grapefruity, piney hops. Flavor was pretty much of the "hop juice" variety, with strong grapefruit rind and pine, backed by light caramels and biscuit (well, I think so...the hops *were* quite strong, as I mentioned!). Not the most creative stab at the style, but it meets the criteria and has the right "punch."
