bottle from the Beer Dispensary Apex. ok aroma, soft. Citrus, orange grapefruit. perfumey. just a tad hazed golden orange color, good initial head faded to a ringm spotty lace. Bitter sweet flavor. full bodyoily creamy mouthfeel, bitter finish, tad harsh. It’s ok, not making me scream wow. aroma was kind of mild in it’s strength. harsh perfumey finish.

4/14/13. Bomber thanks to LOL bitbucket. WBW before OTL weight loss challenge tomorrow. Hazy orange pour with a small white head. Lots of yeast in the bottom of the bottle, beware floaties. Malty aroma and flavor, pale malts, biscuits, and a touch of caramel, with earthy, musty hops, and black tea. Meh.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Poured from bomber into snifter, typical DIPA/IIPA color, clear, but with sediment aplenty. Aroma is a bit bitter in a chemical way, taste matches with a soapy aftertaste. I have to say I am a bit disappointed but still enjoying it.

Clear amber color with ivory head. Nice hoppy floral, pine spicy aromas. Smooth medium body. Tropical fruit, pine sap hoppy flavors with a solid pale malt base---lightly astringent finish--good.

3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bomber from Malt & Vine. Pours hazy copper with a foamy/creamy near-white head. Aroma is very hoppy, but it’s not harsh resin or citrus. Sort of mixed floral/citrus over a light, pleasant caramel backdrop. Near full bodied. Flavor is very hoppy - there’s hop burn. Still it seems floral and citrus. Amazing amount of hop here. Not even noticing the malt til I think about it. Suddenly I get light pitted fruit - apricot. Amazing. (that’s twice for that word). This finishes smoothly and hugely bitter. Extremely pleasant to drink.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Location: 22 oz bottle from State Line, 2/23/13
Aroma: The nose has citrus and floral hops with some bready malts
Appearance: It pours a hazed golden-orange with an off-white head and some sticky lace
Flavor: The taste has a citrusy sweetness and a light-medium hop bitterness
Palate: The body is medium, it has an average carbonation, and a lightly dry finish
Overall Impression:
Overall, this is an okay example of the style, but not an impressive one. The hops feel a little bit too subdued. There really just isn’t enough going on here.

On tap. Clear amber color with a thin off white top. Scent is citrus and pine. Taste is sweet malts, pine and citrus.
