bomber. Glowing orange-red, cloudy. Nose of stone fruit, oranges, papaya. Great rich fruit, pine too. rich and fruity flavor, more tropical fruit, deep rich malt, bit of booze in the finish, nectarine, marmalade. This was far from fresh, but still quite good indeed.

$10.99 bomber from Market Street Wine Shop, Uptown. Pours murky golden with a small, soft off-white head. Aroma of orange, pineapple, mango, grapefruit. Flavor is really bitter - wow bitter. Grapefruit peel and juice, orange rind, lemon zest, pineapple, soap, pine. Holy shit bitter.

22oz bottle thanks to Steveoj. Pours out a hazy gold topped with a small head. Nose is nice pine citrus hops and a nice malt sweetness. Taste is more of the pine citrus hops a nice light bitterness on the end.

A nice break from the lighter end of the spectrum. Medium amber, slightly cloudy. Pretty mild for a DIPA. Body, aroma, taste, all right in the wheelhouse.
