Bomber. Pours a clear dark gold with a 2 finger creamy off white head that leaves really nice lacing. Nose is malt and citrus. Taste is caramel malt, orange, tart grapefruit and a long lasting pinesap finish. Medium mouth feel. Good stuff.

Bottle with the Club. Pours a clear light amber with a small off-white head. Sweet and hoppy. Aromas of grapefruits. Nicely balanced. Good beer.

Dark orange with a creamy white head. Aroma and flavor of oranges, grapefruit, citrus with a big chewy malty mouthfeel. Great beer!

bomber from grape and gourmet poured into a snifter. pours a beautiful hazy orange with hints of copper and a half inch, foamy white head. aroma is huge and really opens up a few minutes after the pour. scents of big juicy, floral hops, apricot, grapefruit, and sour berries come through. flavor is hop dominant at the outset with tastes of orange, lemon zest, and vanilla that is balanced with a nutty malt backbone and good lasting bitterness. mouthfeel is chewy and slightly thick. surprised this is classified as an American strong, it definitely belongs in the IIPA realm. overall, an excellent beer.

Bottle. Fruity nose, some dark fruits but mostly strawberry, cherry, and faint citrus. Cloudy orange with a brown tint. Well-balanced opening and middle with an off finish, sort of a rising sharp cardboard flavor. Possibly stale hops or oxidation. Hurts the flavor profile but doesn’t ruin it. Thick palate with low carbonation.

One of several New Years Eve delights shared with friends. This poured a hazy bright orange yellow with a robust whte head generating clingy lace. Resinous hop aroma with grapefruit pith and sweet malt coming forward later. Richly malty with a nice fruity hop character-- citrus and melon-- and a solid bitter resionus finish. Big and chewy. Very good.
