12oz thanks to RiversideAK. Pours a filtered, clear golden with a soapy white head of medium size. Aroma shows mild hops. Floral, herbal, with a noted soapy character. Definitely soapy. Flavor is pretty hoppy, mildly bitter with a nice hop flavor. Relatively dry. This one tastes better than it smells. A very drinkable IPA, especially for the strength.

Surprised I haven’t rated this yet. 22 ounce bottle purchased at the Davis Co-Op. Piney and light spicy hop aromas with some very sweet candy sugar aromas present, too. Not sure if I like the aroma in this guy. Too sweet. Transparent dark golden body with a nice off-white head that leaves pretty good lacing, Has a piney, herbal, peppery hoppiness to start that’s almost astringent. This has a very nice sweetened malt backbone before it finishes with a lightly dry, bitter, hoppy flavoring. More pine flavors late. This is very well-balanced and pretty tasty stuff.

Purchased in 6-pack bottle in a gas station in the middle of nowhere ,between San Diego and El Centro CA,anyway .Good overall ,not too much aroma, very drinkable,some dull -alcohol-like palate, but very kind flavor, some grassy hops, some honey accents too, with everlasting yeast,very heavy on percent and when youre drinking while eating.This one has a diferent kind of taste malty and sweet at once.GOOD

Bomber poured into a tulip. Clear copper-orange in color. Decent sized off-white head that leaves a nice lace. Piney pineapple hops and touch of malt sweetness. Bitter hoppy flavor with toasty, roasty malts. Lengthy bitter, drying finish. Tasty. Tried again with consistent notes.

[Bottle] from Cloudskipper. Thanks Chris! Pours a clear golden honey color with a smallish white head with little lacing. Aroma is a bit of citric and piney hops, a touch of oxidation, and some crackery malt. Flavor is very hop forward, but the malt is definitely there and adds a bit of metallic flavor. Finish is moderately bitter and quite dry.

On Tap at the Rose and Crown in Palo Alto. Looks great, tastes better. Can’t find much wrong with this one!
