12 oz can, thanks brenn79. Canned 5/16/15, about a month and a half ago. Aroma is citrusy, piney, dank. Pours hazy copper with a large off-white head with good retention. Taste is medium level bitter backed by a candy sweetness. I feel there’s a vegetal-ness that’s trying to creep in here and fuck everything up, but I won’t allow it. In another week I feel the invader will have taken over and eaten the beer’s soul, so better now than never. Good, would have been better fresher.

Can. Eye catching can for sure. Pours dark gold with a really bitter aroma. A little off putting aroma but this beer tastes delicious so it’s okay. Really nice orange flavor. Decently hoppy. I can’t say I can tell this is aged on baseball bats, but I love baseball, and since I know it’s there, it’s cool. Overall, this is a great summer beer, especially when the baseball game is on. Good stuff.

22oz bomber pours clear copper with gold edges and sort of light tan head of foam. I smell a little tart to resin as well as vague hoppiness with mild malt sweetness around the edges. The taste begins with a firm sweet malt base but then slightly citrus notes and a resiny hoppiness seem to have no problem elbowing through the malt sweetness. I get a good dose of hop flavor and lesser amounts of resiny hop bitterness. Pretty nice brew.

Bottle from a trade with 5000. Pours slightly hazy burnt orange color with off white head. Grapefruit rind, pine and lemon aromas with a hint of beady malts. Bitter grapefruit and pine flavors. Medium body with average carbonation and a slightly dry finish. Thanks Andre.

Bomber from Malt & Vine. Pours hazy amber gold with a slight creamy off-white head. Aroma of mild zest over light caramel. Well, maybe not mild zest cause my nose is reacting. Med body. Frothy carb. There’s a lot of citrus zest, orange even. The caramel is pretty far down the line. This is possibly hoppy, but the zest/peel bitter is so strong that that’s the main flavor. Not getting any wood, but hardened maple is supposed to provide flavor? Where’s that coming from.
