Hazy orange-amber. Lots of hop in the nose. Hoppy, lightly citric in nature, quite earthy with chocolate. I like these chocolate earth vs. citric hop ambers but there are a lot of them, which detracts from the appeal of any one individual.

Bomber from Carl. Pours hazy dark ruddy amber with 4 finger foamy creamy beige head. Aroma of roasted malt and mixed fruit - mostly citrus? Med body. Flavor is very smooth dark roast malt, much like an American Strong Ale. Hop is mixed fruit. The malt is too intense for me to imagine concord grape, but maybe that’s in the mix. This is a beer that deserves to go Imperial! While there’s a lot of malt, there’s certainly enough bitter to render this very, very drinkable.

From the name, I was not really expecting a big, brassy IPA. The colour is a sort of a gingery copper tone, with a slight haze and a negligible head. Enormous hoppy aroma, but there was a surprising level of malty backbone to go with the orangey, citric hop in the flavour. The aftertaste remains hoppy, but is more restrained. Quite impressed, but its a bit too full on to score higher. Bottled at the DC gathering.

Poured a medium to darker amber color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of pine, caramel, flowers and a woody-oakiness to it. Tastes of caramel, pine, and wood. Lightly sweet and medium bitterness. Nice hoppy burps.
