Thanks to Homerwantsbeer for sharing a bottle. Pours a clear dark copper color with a medium off-white head that dissipates steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of floral hops, fruit and malt. Medium body with an evenly balanced hops and malt profile. Floral and piney notes. The finish is fruity with a lingering fresh hops aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

22 oz. bottle, pours amber with an off-white head. Nose is full of hops, also with bready malts / cereal, citrus and potent floral notes. Flavour is full of floral notes and citrusy hops, with a bit of fruitiness. Long lingering citrus and hoppy finish. Low in complexity and the body is not overly dense, though quite decent.

Bomber from Malt & Vine. Pours copper with a foamy off-white head. Strong hoppy aroma - but it’s like crushed cactus or something. Med body. There’s malt, and then there is "complex floral, spicy and citrus hoppiness ". Sort of twists my mouth around. Bomb it is. You could probably use this for industrial cleaner. Wowser!!!
