Thanks smokepot23 for sharing. Pours a soft pale yellow with a two finger creamy white head. The nose is pungent, citrusy, fruity, very resinous and skunky. Flavor shows citrus rind, spicy, skunky flavors, very resinous oily feel, aroma is a bit better than the flavor. Palate is spicy with a nice medium bitterness that quickly dissipates.

BOMBER. Pours an orange body with a white head. Huge floral grassy citrus body with a fresh cut lawn shavings resemblance. Hints of rye, grass, pine and a drying grapefruit. An Awesome IPA.

Hazy golden color with a medium sized, white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of Nelsons, toasted malt, toffee, citrus, and pine. Taste of grape, pine, citrus, toast, toffee malts, and a bitter finish.

Bottle shared thanks to warriorsoul. Pours a lightly hazy golden wiht a smaller bubbly white head. Aroma of apricot, grapes, citrus, oranges, tangerines, this is exactly what the NS hops can do. So great this beer is built to highlight the hops. Flavor of grapes, tangerines, bready malt, some rye spcies. Hops featured for sure.
