4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours pale gold into a shaker. White micro head with good retention recedes leaving trailing sheets. Caramel and resin aromas. Dry grapefruit front to back and through the lasting finish.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
It is an interesting beer, but is not among my favourite IPA. I guess the problem is in the OG/IBU profile: to light body for such very hoppy beer.
What I liked more in this IPA was its head retention.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Nice color, no head retention. Reasonably chewy, Cascade hops through out. Medium finish. Average but not great. Nice house beer. Enjoyability 3/5.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
22oz bottle from Crossroads Beer & Wine, Burlington, MA. Pours a slightly hazy pale amber with a tight packed cream headsweet, piney, aroma; smooth grainy body with some acidic, resinous, hops that build to give a dry and woody bitter finish. A pleasant IPA.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle shared by swolf3. Decent looking IPA... Orange with a slight red tint. Nose is perfumey...floral. Taste is malty, bready, floral, lots of perfume. Ehhh....Medium body and carbonation. Just an ok IPA. Thanks wolf for sharing!

Bomber. Pours golden with a white head. Another blatantly average IPA only slightly tastier than their blatant session beer. Meh
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours mostly clear lemon with a light amber hue and decent white head. The aroma is most pleasant, soft velvety spring hoppy notes in the nose. The flavor of soft hops and a bit of bitter earthy notes I get on the palate, like fresh spring.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Nice hazy yellow body with white head. Almost a wet hop smell profile to it. Tastes very almost grassy, with just a tang of bitterness.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
22 oz bomber purchased from Yankee Spirits Sturbridge. No bottle on date, but I know this can’t be more than a month old. Served in a shaped pint glass.
A - A lot lighter than I was expecting. Pours an opaque straw/amber body with a lasting soapy white head. Almost looks like a wheat ale. Decent lacing and retention.
S - Grapefruit, pine, and some grassy and earthy notes. A bit of biscuity malts in the finish. Smells very fresh and crisp.
T - Similar to the nose. Starts off with some grapefruit and pine notes. The finish is grassy and malty. Really clean and refreshing with a lightly bitter finish. Medium mouth feel with lively carbonation.
O - A really well crafted local IPA. Very clean tasting with all the elements I expect from an IPA. Low bitterness also allows for high drinkability. Worth the $4.99 price tag. Looks like these may be dated sometime in the future so I will be picking up some more.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
bottle. notes of grapefruit, fresh cut grass, lime. dry toasted herb backing. a touch burnt. good, but preferred blatant session.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bomber. Pours a hazy golden cor with light orange tinge and a foamy white head. Nose is lemon zest, citrus hop notes, grassy. Palate is bitter and stingy throughout. Flavors of citrusy, yet dry hop notes, light biscuit notes.
