3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
November 24, 2011 - with blankboy, jerc and mabel. Bomber c/o J&K. Very hazy amber-gold with an average diminishing frothy/fizzy off-white head. Smells ... bitter, acidic hoppy bitter (not lemon sourness, not BAD sourness) - some alcohol, not a lot of character on the nose (7-). Taste is like a strongly hopped tart saison, some alcohol, really quite bitter. Average everything, longish finish - quite good, not great.

Thanks to jerc for this Pours a hazy golden yellow with a nice frothy top. Aroma is a great nose of citrus hop and crystal malts. Taste is an adequate citrus hop forward IPA although their citra IPA was way better.
