Bomber from Liquid Solutions. Pours rather orange amber with a decent white head. Firm citrus aroma. Medium plus body with spritely carbonation. Flavor is citrus rind, and florality over mild caramel. Very clean. Finishes quite bitter. Very delightful.

Aroma is citrusy and tingles the nose. Enticing. Light body. Bitter, dandelion taste on the backend.

Nice pour with some foam. Aroma is grapefruit and floral. Initial flavor is hoppy. Backs down with weak almost watery bitterness.

A 22oz bottle pours with a nice one finger head and good lacing. Aroma is citrus, and toffee. The flavor was much better than I remembered! Delicious grapefruit hops, nice balance with the malt, yum! This beer is much better in the bottle than any time I’ve had it on tap, gone are the off flavors I noticed before.

22oz bottle. Poured a deeper and slightly hazy golden color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of pine, floral hoppiness, and some citrus. Some skunky weed too. Tastes of citrus, some floral hoppiness, pine, some spiciness, and some caramel in the finish. Medium bitter with a lighter sweetness in the finish. I found the body to be a tad on the weaker side. Light lacing left on the glass.

22 oz bottle from Hagen. Pours a semi-hazy amber with a huge beige head. Leaves lots of lacing as it dissipates. Nose is a nice fruity hoppy bouquet. Taste is pineapple, tangerine, grapefruit with a strong orangepeal finish. This sits nicely on a toffeeish malt body. Has a piney aftertaste. Body is quite full for an IPA, bordering on IIPA territory. Carbonation is perfect with not too much fizz. I hate overly fizzy IPA’s and they got this one just right. One of the best IPA’s i have tasted. Definately the best organic. Absolutely world class.

Sampled in a 22oz. Not a bad IPA. Pretty strong. Pours light brown with little head. Very very hoppy and decent hops. Worth a try.

22 oz bomber from Market of Choice. Nice to see the HUB beers finally getting bottled! Deep orange pour with a finger and a half of solid head and some nice lacing. Aroma is hefty with pine hops with some light citrus notes and pretty much no malt to speak of. The flavor is much the same, a little too bitter at the back end, but the pine and citrus generally compliment each other well with a very light malt feel.
