Bomber into glass. Whee.

Pours a dark amber with little head, but lots of bubbles clinging to the side of the glass in the beer.

Smells hoppy and malty, kind of earthy, with a heavy sweetness threatening from behind.

Hits lightly sweet and spicy, in the middle the hops really come out with bitterness and pine, then finishes bitter with some hoppy pine. There's very little of the heavy sweetness that you'd get in the smell. It's a good contrast. While the flavors aren't all that, the consistence with contrasting accessory flavors make it very intersting.

It has a medium weight on the tongue, especially at first, but finishes somewhat crisp with lingering bite.

By individual flavors this one doesn't really stand out, but the interplay adds a lot.

12 oz can, with 6/15/13 date stamped on, assume a best by date.

appears dark copper in color, fairly clear. about 1/2" of off-white colored head. good head retention. smell is a mix of biscuity malt and fairly strong earthy hops. the taste is fairly similar flavors. starts sweet but finishes a tad bitter, but hops not that strong. medium body and higher carbonation. overall - fairly easy drinking IPA, good for summer.

12 oz can

Pours a deep amber gold, off-white head retains as a film.

Smells of piney hops and bready malts.

Bready malts with a mild citrus zing and a dry, piney hop bitterness in the taste. A hint of grapefruit bitterness as well and something I can't place, maybe something a herbal.

Medium body with a sharp stinging carbonation on the tongue, a little softer on the roof of the mouth.

Interesting and flavorful IPA, has a weird off taste that I'm not sure is supposed to be there, but its minimal. Despite that, I'd actually describe it as tasting very fresh. Worth trying, but I have had better IPAs. I will probably have this again just to see about the strange taste element I'm getting.
