Bottle shared at Lucky Bamboo share. Thanks Andrew and Aaron. Pours a golden straw color with a finger of white head that lingers. Lemon and catpiss aromas with some pine and iyokan as it warms. Light caramel and pine on the palate, more catpiss and lemon. Medium bitterness on the finish.

650 bottle, spilt 2 ways purchased at El Bait Shop, Des Moines Iowa. Almost clear colored orange. Aroma tends to be citrus based, light earthy, mild honey grain. Flavor is dominated by citrus with a very light bitterness in the finish. Body is lighter side of medium, clean. Very easy to drink pale ale.

Hazy amber golden color. Interesting stonefruit and biscuit nose. Not that deep or sophisticated. Modest bitterness, good biscuity character but the alpha acid doesn’t balance things out as well. Decent without be outstanding

Thanks Huhzubendah for sharing the bottle! Poured into a taster showing moderately filtered neon yellow with sparse white foam. The nose shows a mix of spruce and pine. The palate is medium bodied and moderately carbonated. Flavors of spruce and pine but slightly too sharp and not enough spruce/pine. Adzuki sweetness on the finish.

Bomber. Thanks, hyroglyphk. The beer is a bright orangey yellow color. The liquid is very cloudy, just barely translucent. Thick head of fine white foam. Tons of lacing, very good retention. The aroma is quite hoppy with a light crackery malt background. Hops provide flavors of lime, pineapple, grapefruit, mild sweaty onion, sweet wildflowers, tangerine and mild pine. The onion is actually pretty ok here, and I typically don’t like that hop flavor. That and the lime differentiate it a bit from the pack of recent top pale ales. Taste has a lot of sweet hoppiness with a crinkly edge of lime. Mild pale malt sweetnesss, just some simple very lightly caramel-ish sugar to hold up the hops. Moderately dry. Probably moderate bitterness - if not for all of the mildly bitter hoppy beers floating around now, I’d call it mild. Easy to drink. Light mouthfeel with a light touch of creaminess. Pretty low astringency. Nice finish full of lingering hop flavor. Solid beer. This would be a nice bomber to have around on shelves.
