4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20Pretty sizable, fluffy head with a ton of lacing. Orange-gold. Aroma of grapefruit, orange, and pineapple, along with a floral bouquet. Taste is all of the aforementioned along with a great malt backbone and hoppy finish. Ridiculously smooth and easy to drink. This is simply extraordinary - love these beers that have been living up to the hype. Move over, Founders Centennial - this is the best-balanced IPA I’ve ever had, although Ballast Point Sculpin IPA is technically a little tastier.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bomber from consumers beverages in Niagara Falls ny. Pours light orange with a big off white head. Looks perfect. Nice hoppy nose but it could be bigger and punchier. The flavour is solid, lots of hop flavour, lingering bitterness, dry finish. Not the freshest bottle but still highly enjoyable. Would love to try it fresher.
4.7 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
Bottle from Brewdog.com Online Shop (650ml, £7.55):
Fruity with tonnes of tropical fruits on the nose to begin with, there is also a touch of spice and a solid, juicy aroma along with some nice, lighter pine hops and some bitterness.There mango and citrus along with some sweet malts, caramel, mango and some grapefruit.
Dark golden colour with a great, two finger sized and foamy white head on top that looks to hold pretty well initially. There is some lacing left on the sides of that glass and the beer is a clear looking one.
Sweet malts and caramel upfront with some pine hops and grapefruit giving a sweet, medium strength bitter taste. The beer is a great one with plenty of tropical flavours coming through that includes some mango, orange and tonnes of hops yet the bitterness levels are not too strong.
Medium bodied and very smooth with an almost creamy mouthfeel and good, strong carbonation. There is some sweetness and a medium bitter finish.
Probably the best beer I’ve ever had, this one is as close as I’ve come to perfection in a beer. Starting with a great tropical fruits and pine hop aroma that matches the taste. The pine hops taste is amazing, coupled with the fact that the beer isn’t overly bitter makes this truly outstanding.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bottle pour clear yellow with orange hues. Nose of tropical fruit, pine and resin. Taste grapefruit bitterness, floral and rein hops, then huge bitterness. Balanced by sweet malt mid palate, and butt resinous finish. Great west coast IPA.
4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours transparent golden orange with a thick orange white head. The nose is a perfect balance of grapefruit, orange, pine and tropical fruit. The taste is high bitter and medium high sweet damn near perfect balance. The texture is crisp and clean, body is medium and finish is long. Bomber for less than $5 makes this the best you can get.

4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Should be enjoyed at correct temperature. Color is a little cloudy copper with good lacing and foaminess. Outstanding nose of sweet earthy grapefruit. Taste a little flat at first due to improper serving temperature. Although serving temperature range is tight, excellent when correct.
