Got this from RaulMondesi. 16 ounce can into tulip glass, no can dating. Pours slightly hazy medium golden yellow color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, green pepper, peppercorn, pine, cracker, white bread dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, green pepper, peppercorn, pine, cracker, white bread dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, woody, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, green pepper, peppercorn, pine, cracker, white bread dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy/sticky, and fairly crisp/resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 7.5%. Overall this is an awesome IPA. All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth, easy, and fairly crisp to drink; with the modestly bitter/resinous/drying finish, not aggressive. Loved the hop profile as expected. Extremely juicy, vibrant, and fairly dank/earthy hops; with a great clean pale malt backbone. Minimal residual sweetness with crisp resin dryness. A really enjoyable offering, and spot on west coast style example.

Bomber from Bine & vine. Pours translucent gold with a white head. Aroma is a mixed hop thing, touch of dank, and fairly bitter. Flavor sort of matches. Far from harsh tho. Gets a bit light stone fruity. Hard to parse it all. Nice drink in the overall. Tastes good.

Bottle. Pours crystal clear orange, medium off-white head, dissipates slowly, nice lacing. Aroma is tropical, passion fruit, green tea, pot. Flavor is light sweet, light bitter, juicy, tropical pot, green tea shows up late. Medium body, creamy mouthfeel. Not sure why this one is not getting the love; it tastes pretty damn good to me.

Sample at GABF 09/26/2015, thanks to my sis for assistance with note-taking. Clear orange-gold color with a medium off-white head that recedes steadily. Stringy lacing. Aroma of citrus, hops and malt. Medium body with flavors of tropical fruit, grassy hops and malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a fruity hops aftertaste. Pretty good overall.
