Thanks! to Angela. 655 ml. bottle sampled @ ZZT XIII. Character on the label looks a bit like Eddie (Iron Maiden mascot). Almost clear orange, little bubbles. Nose is big pine resin, light onion, resin, light caramel & harsh pine resin & medicinal hops. Taste is hugely bitter, harsh medicinal & weed bitterness, pine, raw,… Big pine oil body. The bitterness is harsh on this one, I almost respect it more than I like it. It is nice but also it is too much for me to fully enjoy.

22oz bomber from K & B Wine Cellars pours up with a clear deep gold body that supports a nice looking off white head. The aroma offers up a pleasing mix of clementine, mango, a dash of pineapple and tangerine flowing into a bit of booze. The taste is similar as it is dominated by citrusy juicy clementine and mango notes and then slivers of pineapple. Nice IIPA as its juicy with citrus and tropical fruitiness, some modest resiny bitterness and then slivers of IIPA booze. This is a solid IIPA where it leans firmly toward citrus and mango juiciness and only modestly bitter and resiny.

Bomber from CraftShack. Pours light gold with a slight, transient white head. Aroma is that New Zealand super weird hoppy thing - melon, fruit, I don’t know. Med+ body. Maybe full. Flavor is light caramel with a lot of fruity hop. There’s a very mild hop burn. It seems a little grapey. Nelson? It seems a little South Seas. Moesaic? It seems very, very fresh. Lucky me! Finishing decently bitter, extremely hoppy. Lovely ale.
