Pours a golden amber from a bottle. Some citrus/grapefruit, settles into more of a lemon in the mouth. Big bitterness too. Okay beer.

650 ml bottle (as pictured) purchased at Georgios Billerica, MA. Hazy, dirt gold color thin head in a snifter. Aroma is rather herbal with a decent amount of earthiness and rounds out with some sweeter malt.
The base of the brew has some dusty wheat follow by the earthy character that was noticed in the nose. Pale malts through the center leading into a light pine bitterness. After sipping 12 oz. of this brew I realized it was rather easy to drink but was a duplicate of approximately 200 other IPA’s I have sampled. Nothing to really give it an identity of its own.

22oz bomber pours with a clear copper body that has golden hues and supports a tall dirty white head of foam. The moderate aroma offers up various subtleties like malts, grainy malts, citrus tartness, a faint orange flavored gummy bear note and a soft sweet cotton candy sensation. The taste has sweet malts and tart citrus running into sort of lime mixed with earthy herbal spices. To midway it picks up sweet malts blending into a modest degree of bitter resiny hoppiness. This is alright and kind of on the bitter hop side of things.

Bomber from Hi-Time. Pours hazy light amber with a slight off-white head. Aroma of light fruit over caramel. Med body. Strange - it starts unhoppy, then develops quite a lot of hop. So after things get started it’s slightly harsh mix of hops. The malt is mildly roasty. Hop seems to have everything possible including earthiness and grapefruit rind. Particularly in the finish. It’s a very bitter and hoppy IPA. Tasty stuff.

Golden coloured body with a very thin white head. Aroma of light malt, a hint of metal and lemons and some very mild but noticeable herbal and grassy hops. Light to Medium-bodied; Nice light malt flavour with some grassy hop flavour noticeable, a hint of lightness from yeast and lemons and not much else. Aftertaste shows some hop notes and more of a light crisp lager and dortmunder quality with some nice hop flavours. Overall, a nice and fresh light IPA with some good flavours and a crisp finish. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Half Time in Poughkeepsie, New York on 26-December-2012 for US$6.49 sampled at home in Washington on 20-March-2013.

Bomber from the brewery. Pours a clear golden color with a large creamy off-white head. Good head retention. Aroma of pale malts and snappy citrus and floral hops notes. The taste is floral and citrus hops with pale malts. Simple, clean and well-balanced. Medium bodied with moderate lingering bitterness. Excellent beer, but what else should I have expected from these guys?
