Big thick head,ligt gold lots of lacing. Lots of carbonation. This is about 5 mo. from bottleing. It has a fruit tangerine aroma with some lemon and or grapefruit and just a fresh crispness. Taste is smooth with light sweetness and rhindy type bittering with some floral with a dry toasty slightly sweet (butter-caramel)malt presence.Pretty clean and somewhat sessionable with a very obvious bitter.

Bomber pours a hazy orange color with persistent creamy white head and good lacing. Smells of citrus and pine. Aroma has peaches, orange, grapefruit, pine, and a bit of grass. Taste is pleasantly bitter with some malts coming out in the finish. It’s easy to enjoy this fine IPA.

Bottle. Pours clear amber-orange with a large off-white creamy head that dissipates slowly and leaves good lacing. Citrus and orange/peach in the aroma, plus a bit of pine. Flavor is heavily bitter, citrus and pine dominating, with a significantly bitter finish and aftertaste.
