Bottle. ( Thanks Marsiblursi ! ) Hazy orange with a thin white head. Fruity and malty with lots of citrus tones. Full body with a very nice bitter finish.

bomber opened at Houston BA Tasting. Appearance is cloudy yellow/orange with a thin white head. Nose is of citrus and grass. Taste is same citrus and grass. Mouthfeel is medium with bitterness to it. This seemed more on the level of an IPA, not an Imperial IPA.

Bottle. Hazy golden-cider pour with a soapy white head - great retention. Awesome aroma - hops, citrus, pears, sweet apples, simple syrup. Flavor is a bit of a let down but still not bad. Finish is decent. Above average.

[Bottle] shared by KAF. Pours a cloudy gold with a medium beige head. Aroma is a bit plasticy with some grassy hops. Flavor is dry hoppiness, citrus, and more of that plastic flavor. Bitter finish. I was really hoping for more from this beer - maybe it didn’t travel well and was old. I’ll have to seek out a fresher bottle of this.

22oz bottle via trade with bu11zeye. Aroma: Lots of pine, grapefruit, pineapple, peppery spiciness, floral, and a strong yeast aroma. Some bready malt, caramel, and a touch of honey. Appearance: Medium amber in color and quite hazy. White head was huge and creamy with ridiculous retention. Great lacing. Flavor: Strange. Kind of like a Belgian IIPA. Bready malt with a touch of caramel. Pine, citrus, banana, honey, pepper, floral, resin, and grass. Strong yeastiness. Medium-high bitterness. Dry finish. Palate: Medium-full bodied. Medium-high carbonation. Light alcohol warming in back of mouth. Overall: Really nice beer. Enjoyed the Belgian-like qualities. Only beef is that it was a little overcarbonated.

Thanks to Brian for this one. Very cloudy pale orange body with moderate fluffy white head. Citrus sweet aroma of grapefruit, flowery hops, and subtle brown sugar. Light lemony sweetness in the flavor, also a dry hoppy bitterness persists. Dry light body with a clean finish.

Bottle. Very lively hazy orange coloured brew with a beautiful porridge-like white foam. Aromas of peaches, honey and some pine. The flavour is a little metaillic with hoppy grapefruit notes. This sample tastes a little old..
