Light hazy orange, amber colour with a beige head. Hoppy, fruity and piney aroma with hints of some malty sweetness. Hoppy, quite bitter flavor with notes of pine and peach. Dry, hoppy bitter finish with fruity notes.

Bomber courtesy of crizay. Good mellow citrus orange aroma. Amber/ Copper body with off white head. Plenty of lacing and on second pour lot of floaters moving around like cool someone finally got me out of this bottle. Good citrus hop ipa flavor with sweet malts and dry bitter blended together. Sluge shiot on bottom of glass. Good refreshing brew on the palate, thanks Chris.

22oz bomber. Pours a hazy apple cider color with a two finger light tan head that lasts and laces. Spicy and fruity aroma with a sweet note in the background. The taste leans on the spicy side with sweet malt and grapefruit popping in and a nice dry bitter finish. Med to big body, lively carb, dry texture and feel. A solid IPA that has a slightly different hop profile than I’m use to, but not bad and certainly worth a try.

Pours clean gold and patched with a thin white foam concentrated in odd concentric clusters that really resemble mold spores. Delicate floral hop aroma; some candied citrus, pale malt, dandelion, and dusty black pepper. Its perfume and fragrant meadow freshness whisper so quietly; it’s like having the cooling earthy powder of pollens and petals carried to the nose on a whimsical breeze.

Flavor is just as soft, fresh, and spring-like. Soft pale malts provide a doughy, porous canvas for that lovely floral hop bitterness. If the flavors are not starstruck with complexity or sophistication, their gorgeously tethered balance remains strikingly winsome. Malts are calm and earthy; redolent of almonds and wildflower honey. What’s most recurrent is the careful structuring of the chosen hops and the malt bill; their quiet and warm interaction and the pleasantry of its impression that’s left to linger rather thoroughly.

Medium palate is soft and smooth, calmly carbonated and clinging bitterly all around. Finishes on a refreshing, semisweet lemon and biscuit note, lengthily. Full of character, crisp, and soothingly drinkable; the clarity of its balance is consistently impressive. Thanks, Kristine!

Bomber. Pours an orangish amber with light off-white head. Aroma is floral hops, citrus and a bit of pine. Flavor is the standard IPA with floral hops, with notes of amlt, citrus and pine. Could use some more hops but not the worst IPA I have had and far from the worst. This is your basic average IPA.

From 22oz bomber. Fruity, spicey hop aroma. MOre citrusy, piney, spicey hops in the taste. A small hint of caramel malt. Solid IPA
