12 fl oz bottle. Pours hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma is pinewood hoppy, light orange fruity too. Sweet and fruity hops flavoured, light bitterness coming through. Lingering fruity hoppy finish.

Bottled. An amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of citrus fruits and a bit of caramel and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and citrusy hops, leading to a bitter finish combined with strong notes of lime and lemon peal. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

12oz bottle from Mammoth. Butter, butter and more butter. The malt in this one took a bad turn. Moderate bitter hops come through, but the butter ruined it.

Bomber from GM Liquors. Nose has a fair amount of caramel with a little grassy and citrus hops. Lightly hazy copper with a medium cream head. Flavor is nuts, caramel, and light bitterness.

A fairly average American Pale Ale, though it seems a bit heavier on the light citrus, which is most appreciated. The aroma seemed unexpectedly weak, though, which was disappointing.

Bottle; poured a pretty clear, orange-amber color; a touch on the darker side. Aroma of caramel malt, citrus, and flowers. Nice, fresh and strong aroma for the style. Flavor did not quite meet the expectations created by the aroma, however it was still solid for the style. Overall it was better than most of the style.
