8.1/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8.5
22 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 1/12/2017. Pours crystal clear golden orange color with a 1-2 finger dense and fluffy off white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass. Aromas of big tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, peach, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, lemon/orange zest, light pine, honey, light caramel, lightly toasted bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/tropical hops, orange zest, and moderate bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, peach, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, lemon/orange zest, light pine, honey, light caramel, lightly toasted bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine/citrus peel bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, peach, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, lemon/orange zest, pine, honey, bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/tropical hops, orange zest, and moderate bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light dryness from bitterness, increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy/sticky, and slightly resinous balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 7.5%. Overall this is an awesome fruited IPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/tropical hops, orange zest, and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mellow bitterness. Nicely juicy and vibrant on hop/fruit notes; with a balancing malt backbone that is never overly sweet. A really enjoyable offering.

Bomber from Bottle Barn in Santa Rosa. Pours light copper with a white head. Aroma is zesty/citrusy, but it made me think of butyric acid. Med body at least. Flavor is zesty, citrusy, caramel. Not entirely dry, and not all that bitter. Leaves orange bombs on the lips.
