This beer is a clear copper color with a medium ivory white head that diminishes steadily to an outer ring. Short strings of lacing. Citrus, hops and malt in the nose. Full-bodied with flavors of resiny hops, citrus and grainy malt. The finish is hoppy up front with a mild alcohol burn in the aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Bottle at La Cave à Bulles, Paris; 11.3% ABV
Clear amber color, bright, small head. Strange feeling, the aroma of resiny hops is so strong that it becomes almost nutty (hazelnuts), and manure. Full bodied, with round mouthfeel and some flavor of crystal, but not thick or sticky, luckily; strong flavor, with powerful hopping, mostly resiny, piney, and very moderate fruitiness. Long and extreme final.
Overwhelming.

Bottle. Pours clear orange amber, medium of white head, nice lacing. Aroma of passion fruit, grapefruit, light pine. Flavor is about the same, with a distinct caramel malt body; light sweet, medium plus bitter. Quit bitter warming finish.Medium to light bodied. ABV noticeable only in the finish.

Bomber from Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours light amber gold with a foamy beige head. Aroma is heavily citrus/pine. A little lightly roasted malt for backbone. Med+ body. Flavor is harsh resin/citrus hop over a hardly noticeable malt. The caramel does come out a bit after the hop seeps away. The hop is heavy NW burn. Likely the hoppiest beer ever out of Sacramento. The bar is raised!

On tap (listed at 11.3%). Pours with a crystal clear yellow hued body with a massive white head that lasts. Smells pretty good. Aromas are of stone fruit, tangerine, floral citrus, light pine and a decent amount of alcohol. Minimum dextrin malt. Flavors are warming, only a very light sticky malt presence. Alcohol, low bitterness, big fruity, citrusy and tropical fruit hop flavors. Medium carbonation and warming. Apprehensive going into this as I anticipated a big, sticky, sweet mess; very nicely surprised by this one.
