Bomber from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours clear light amber with a slight beige head. Aroma just about suggests cat pee. Med body. There’s a lot of caramel for backbone, but it’s just about overwhelmed by a complex and strong mix of hop. I’m voting for at least resin and grapefruit rind. But I think there’s some floral mixed in. This is pretty hoppy stuff for a Right Coast IPA.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draft… Mostly clear orange ale with a small, creamy, white head. Good retention. The bouquet is both fruity and resiny – peach, pineapple and a mild trace of pine. Medium to full-bodied with tingly carbonation. The flavor presents a substantial, fruity, rindy bitterness. Mildly bitter, tongue-numbing finish.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle poured a hazy amber with a lasting amber head. Aromas of biscuit, earthiness, grapefruit, pine and orange zest. Palate was light bodied and crisp with a dry finish. Flavors of biscuit, earthiness and light grapefruit with a crisp dry lingering bitter finish.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours a clear orange color with a tall off-white head. The nose is grassy and a touch vegetal. Not off to a good start. Some sweet malt in the form of bread and toffee. Light citrus peel on the finish. The flavor is also somewhat vegetal and grassy. Fairly bitter, a touch of metal, and some bread. Straw, light toffee, and some toasted malt. Really just an unimpressive hop profile and beer.

12 ounce bottle from Total Wine West Richmond. Pours a hazy amber color with a large frothy off-white head. Decent head retention. Aroma of bitter citrus and herbal hops. The taste is bitter citrus and resin hops. Faint caramel malt backbone. Medium bodied. Decent.
