3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
16oz bottle pours deep pale gold with a tall white head of foam. The aroma offers up light airy slightly acidic smelling citrus with a bit of sweetness off in the background. The taste pulses with high carbonation creating tart and bitter citrus tangerine and grapefruit notes with a mild muted sugary maltiness as a base. This stuff is bitter citrus from front to back and comes across quite nicely on this hot day.

Sample at the Hills Market beer tasting on 05/30/2013: Pours a clear bright yellow color with a medium thick foamy white head that recedes gradually. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of hops and citrus. Light-bodied with flavors of grassy hops, malt and citrus. The finish is mildly bitter with a short hoppy aftertaste. Decent overall.

3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: MAY 27, 2013 500ml bottle, shared by Jay. Clear golden color. Thin white head. Nice spread of splotchy lace. Good grassy citrusy hop aroma. Biscuity malt. Medium body. Lighter, smooth carbonation. More dry finish. Nice light bitter taste. Pretty nice, solid, easy drinking sessionable and satisfyingly hoppy pale ale. Shared the rest of the bottle with my friends, later. Very sharp hop note, as my friends say. Nice light body, too. Super stuff.

Truly enjoyed this one...for a 4.5% brew, the assertiveness of the aroma and aggressiveness of the flavor were exciting! 14 karat pour with a moderate eggshell cap that left some lacing behind. Earthy, spicy, and mildly citrusy hops. Orange zest, grassiness, and a backbone of honey and caramel. Nicely balanced and extremely enjoyable. Could drink this stuff non-stop!
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bomber from Hi-Time. Pours hazy golden amber with a slight white head. Citrus aroma. Med minus body. Flavor is citrus (sort of cat pee mild) over some roast caramel. It’s the cat pee aspect that’s cool here. Finishes a little earthy, very citrus, and bitter!!! In an XPA way.
