Bottle. 5K backlog. Pours reddish orange with off white head. Nose and taste of peach, alcohol soaked fruits, resin and perfume. A bit boozy for an IPA at 7.5%. Medium body.

Not red as on tapat the bocktown robinson, nice beer tasting place. Pale yellow near brown. Smells like yer mates BO. Barely any co2 but there is a some perceivable sizzle. Let me chew on green grapefruit rinds fresh picked off a tree in florida. Big and bitter fer sure. Nasty nellie impressions for a lager lover. Lasts forever on the finish. Mouth coating. Better than rock bottom DIPA.

Draft at Varga. Pours a cloudy deep amber red with beige head and lace. Nose of carmel and roasted malt, orange, lemon and pine. Very malty with sweet caramel and roasted barley with a hoppy, bitter finish. Citrus, pine and some oak like earth flavors.

22oz bottle. Medium off-white head atop crystal clear amber body. Aroma is moderately sweet, grapefruit, some orange, grape, light bread. Taste is moderately sweet, orange/grapefruit, some grape, bread/caramel. Medium body, some resin. Easy drinking, especially for the ABV.

Bomber from Malt & Vine. Pours clear amber with a creamy/bubbly off-white head. Nice citrous aroma. Med + body. Flavor is nice citrus with a light burn over lightly roasted malt. The hop flavor didn’t seem strong initially, and then it started to burn. Pretty good stuff.

Bomber into glass. Hazy red piur with thin lacing whitehead..pine and hopps aroma..taste is grapefruit and lots of hopps.pretty awesome

Mostly clear light orange copper, foamy off white head slowly settles, ring lingers. Citrus piney hop aroma. Bitter piney sappy taste, lemony light crisp hoppiness. Softly carbed, light bodied, moderately hopped. Faint caramel malts emerge as it warms. Finishes tart and bitter. Nice. NFL (Not For Lagerboys)

22oz bottle. Hazy amber orange with a small off white head. Aroma of citrus, pineapple, caramel and floral hops. Flavor is caramel malt, bitter hops and light alcohol. Medium body with a long bitter finish. Decent, fresh and hoppy with some caramel sweetness.

Medium sized off white head with fair retention and a good lookin lacy lace.Clear, copper/amber color. Mild nose of citrus and earth, lil toasty malts too. Body is medium, nice carbonation, lil prickly, mildly oily and resiny. Nice citrusy hop flavor played up to a decent lil caramel malt bill, lil grainy, toasty too though some buttery notes distract. Fairly dry finish, decent bite. Better than expected. Bomber from statelineliquors.

The pour is a clear, orangey-amber with a moderately full, off-white, pillowy, frothy head which is somewhat lasting and leaves some thick lace. The nose is pleasant with loads of citrus fruit, lime, peachy, passionfruit, leafy, minerally, and lighter toasted caramel. The flavor is very similar with a distinct mineral bitterness, some resins, still leafy and lime, and some buttery malts. The palate is more than medium, lively, velvety, and creamy. The finish is still bitter with buttery notes, leafy, and mineral lingering. Far from a traditional IPA but somehow the flavors all worked well together. The Citra hops were all over the nose with so many fruit notes and the distinct Sorachi hops added the fitting bitterness in the flavor. The malts found a way add a pleasant balance to the hops. Nice beer.
