22. Pours a clear medium amber with a gigantic sudsy white head and plenty of eggy lace. Huge citric nose, rich with oranges, orange peels, grapefruit, and tangerine. Watery medium body. Beautiful toast and caramel mid palate swimming under a tsunami of oranges and grapefruits. Long resinous finish. Beautifully done. if the flavor had a little more power and the body weren’t so watery, this would be a world-beater, instead of just a very, very good beer.

Bottle thanks to Scott. Pours a near clear orangish amber with a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of grape fruit with some passion fruit and light grain. Flavor starts with light pine with sweet grains but has a good amount of passionfruit.

Bomber from Malt & Vine. Pours golden amber with a foamy beige head. Lush floral aroma. Med body. Flavor is orange/apricot. Which moves on to show some floral. Marvelously fresh and fruity. Very nice.

Pours a hazy orange. Bright, crisp, floral hops burst through in the aroma. This is a great traditional pale with a nice, bitter aftertaste. Really nice. Full of hop character, lots of mandarin -- I like it!
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bomber. Pours a bright golden orange color with an inch of thick off-white head. The aroma is a sweet blend of resiny hops and cannabis with some tropical fruit and ripe citrus in the background. The taste starts with a strong dose of orange and grapefruit citrus, pine resin, caramel and malt rounded out with some vegtetal hops bitterness. The mouthfeel is medium-bodied with a finish that’s all citrus and resiny bitterness. Easily one of the best Fresh Hop Ales out there and another great brew from Fremont.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle: Dark straw, some very dull golden hues, otherwise hazy, moderate to large frothy white head, nice lacing. Slightly soily hop nose. A little citrusy up front, otherwise some soft earthiness in the background. Pithy bitterness, moreso than hoppy bitterness. Moderate body and mouthfeel. Finish is a little resiny, soil/earth has somewhat subsided, pith remains. Pretty tasty overall.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Solid citra hop nose, somewhat earthy as well, plus a hint of leafy green veggies in there as well, or ferns perhaps. Citra hop aroma is nice and pleasant though. Pours golden amber with a thin bubbly head. The flavor is initially full of citra hops, somewhat earthy and dirt-y, plus a hint of leafy veggies that did not work for me. The citra is very nice however. Dry finish with hints of malt sweetness.
