Bomber from Beer Revolution. Pours light golden amber with a 3 finger foamy off-white head. Aroma of caramel and floral. Med body. The flavor is very hoppy - floral/earthy/citrus. Malt almost gets lost. It finishes dry and quite bitter. The claimed 5.9% ABV, 89 IBU is very believable.

T - Starts off with a mix of grapefruit and other tropical hops with some bitterness and some caramel malts. Through the middle, some pine hops and some more bitterness come through with a touch of bready malt character and some more orange and citrus hops. The finish is a mix of citrus hops with a touch of pine alongside some sweet caramel malts. M - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Feels smooth with a dry and lightly bitter finish. D - Very drinkable. Nicely balanced IPA with a good hop profile and a good level of bitterness.
