Tap. Pours hazy amber good, small of white head, good lacing. Aroma is quite light, a bit of floral and citrus. Flavor is amazingly subdued, just not much going on here. Light sweet, light bitter, light body, low carbonation. Meh.

Draft. A hazy golden beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of grassy hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, hops, grass, but also some phenols, leading to a dry phenolic finish.

From tap at the brewpub. Pours almost clear and golden orange with a fully gone head. Orange fruity hops aroma. Sweet flavoured, light fruity note at first followed by a more solid and bitter hops base. Good sweet malt base into the far finish.

Bomer from Bottle Barn; Nose of a little spicinessamnd floral hops, very weak; hazy orange with a medium yellow tinged head; flavor has a little orange, caramel, but only a tiny hint of hop bitterness; has the hop shortage hit already? Or is this not an IPA?

Bomber pours a hazy gold with copper core and weak white head. The aroma doesn’t remind me at all of an IPA. It smells like disjointed notes of stale grains, sugar and a vague sweet fruitiness. The vague fruitiness in the nose starts out the flavor followed by the stale yucky tasting grains and then mild bitterness. Toward the finish the weird graininess builds then gives way to a mild bitterness into the after taste. If organic is going to continue to taste this bad then I’d prefer non organic for sure.
