On tap at Copenhagen Beer Celebration 2012. It’s a clear, golden beer topped by a dense, off-white head leaving lacings. The aroma is citrusy and piney with some grapefruit and a malty note. The flavor too is hop-driven, with some notes of malty sweetness in the back. Pine cones, grapefruit and a solid bitterness, leading to a lasting, grapefruit-ish and bitter finish. Full-bodied, dry and well carbonated. A wonderful beer, dangerously easy to drink, and sort of quenching too. 120511

Bomber from Buy-Rite Bound Brook, NJ, just a few blocks from where I lived for two years as a kid. Ah, memories. Pours a hazy orange color with a huge (50%) creamy tan head. Good head retention. Aroma of big sticky, resiny hops with some citrus and toffeeish malts. The taste is similar... big resin hops, pine, citrus and a bit of a catty note. Strong lingering bitterness, very faint booze. medium bodied. Very drinkable. Too drinkable? Nice DIPA.

Big offwhite head. Clear yellow body with carbonation. Mango bubblegum and pineapple aroma with minty notes. Dry-sweetish salty mango and pineapple taste with resiny herbal notes. Mid-bodied. Mild mouthfeel. Dry minty resiny pine needle aftertaste with herbal salty notes. Nice, drinkable, and a bit sharp. (0.65l bottle, wine monopoly, Vika, Oslo.)

On draught at Local Option. Hazy orange-yellow color with a medium frothy off-white head that recedes slowly. The aroma consists of citrus, hops and malt. Medium to full body with flavors of citrusy hops, pine and caramel malt. The finish is malty up front and leaves a lingering fruity hops aftertaste. Solid IIPA overall.
