Pours clear golden with a white head. Aroma has notes of malt, pine, citrus and orange. Taste is light to medium sweet and light bitter with a long citrus and pine finish. Body is light, texture is thin to oily, carbonation is soft.

Cool as hell 32oz! can. It pours with a crystal clear deep gold body that supports a nice looking dirty white head of foam. The aroma offers up spicy hops that have a dank edge to them and slide toward clementine and tangelo like citrus hoppiness. The taste is similar as hops dance across the palate with a fairly clean light body, I need to find a way to get this uber fresh sometime. With this can I get spicy hops that area a bit earthy and dank. Then as the spicy hops take hold some clementine and tangelo hop bitterness notes come to the surface to join in with the rest of the flavors. Nice Pale.

Draft at the brewery - San Diego. Pours clear pale gold with a creamy white head. Floral hops in the nose with nips of spicy pine needles. Light to medium sweet flavor with further spicy, dry pine, lemon rind, mellow pale malts. Light bodied with average carbonation. Dry finish with spicy pine and flowery hops, light sweetness, some rindy bitterness. Decent.

Ok, on tap at the bocktown, nice place. CleaRLY YELLOW. bUT, WITH A NICE HEAD. bARELY ANY SMELL BUT DOES HAVE A a cleary IPA aroma. Recently changed over tap so please forgive the ratings. Slaggy, and mildy hoppy7. Never quite gets to that rude IPA shit. Easy to take but there is this slightly unforgivable uncivilized background about it. The finish is certainly bitter but does not linger too long.

Bomber from Bine & Vine. Pours translucent gold with a slight white head. Aromas of citrus and other fruit with a touch of light roast malt. Med body, almost. Flavor is fruit/perfume with definite roast malt. It’s hoppy. The fruit is citrus plus something else. Would be a good session ale. Lots of flavor for the low ABV.

Sample at The Daily Growler. Pours a clear pale orange-yellow color with a medium white head that evaporates steadily. Short strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of grassy hops, citrus and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of floral hops, grapefruit and toasted malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a short herbal hops aftertaste. Decent overall.
