Dense head. Appearance is like a amber and ruby quartz combination. Decent hop aroma. I read "lurking" in the description and I think it fits. There is a lurking after bitterness in finish. Good IPA for a sub $2 bottle. Just as good if not better than more expensive attempts.

From the bottle, poured a decent head, reminds me of Bass in color. This is a pretty good Summer beer IMO. I would definitely drink this again and recommend it to those who enjoy a strong hoppy IPA.

Hmmm, on the tail of Lagunitas’s Little Sumpin’, this is a real let-down. On the first couple sips I was distinctly reminded of how much like sweat this tastes in comparison. And it’s not as full or substantive in flavor, and kinda metallic too. I guess that’s what happens when you pit Mac against Lagunitas. But hey, this was $2 for a bomber and another tick on the ol’ RateBeer chart.

Tap from the Pyramid Brewery. Pours a orange tan with slowly dissipating white head and nice lacing. Aroma of citrus and floral hops. Only slightly bitter with a predominant floral hops and citrus flavor. A clean, crisp palate. I like it a lot.

Bomber from Liquid Solutions. LIght copper color with a large white head. Lots of citrus/floral hop over light caramel. Near medium body with light carbonation. Tis is a light IPA in terms of body, and perhaps malt, but the citrus hop is decently strong for the style. Finish is rather clean, and continuously bitter. Nice brew.
