22 oz bottle shared by Gregis. Pour is hazed golden ruby with a 1/2 inch white head. Nice lacing. Aroma of sweet orange citrus with bitterness and some nice full maltiness. Nicely balanced nose. Taste is rounded citrus fruit - full range of grapefruit, orange, lemon, lime; very fresh, with a nice pine flavor also present. Malt is present, nicely integrated with the cornucopia of hops. Aftertaste has bitter citrus peel. Nice medium palate. Really nice beer. Full, balanced, delicious. This was the beer of the night for me. Thanks again for sharing Greg.

Pours murky yellow-orange with a dirty off white head. Juicy hop aroma. Reminds me of Fruit Stripe gum. Decidedly hoppy flavor with the typical citrus and pine. Kind of orangey. There is plenty of caramel malt to go along with it though. Full body with a nice amount of carbonation and a dry finish. Lingers a bit. Really good. Thanks for holding on to this Greg.

Nice orange pour with a tight off white lace and head. Peppery aroma with lots of citrus. Creamy and sweet with a very good finishing bitter. Light creamy full bodied beer. Very full powerfull ipa

22oz bomber with gold wax. Pours cloudy, burnt orange color with a small, offwhite, creamy head, some lace. Smells citrusy, slightly nutty and slightly grassy. Tastes flavorful but not super bitter, grassy, some citrus, some nutty hop flavor as well. Medium body, smooth carbonation.

Bomber from BeerBunker. Thanks man! Pours orange gold with a thin head that lingered for a while. Aroma is citrus rinds. Grapefruit and orange predominantly. Nice and fruity aroma. The flavor has much of the same with great citrus effects of grapefruit, orange, tangerine. Some floral and piney hops make and appearance along with a bit of medium sweet caramel malt. Smooth and fruity. Nice hops, not overly bitter, but still very hoppy. Nice!
