Bomber with thanks to gorditoabd. Pours hazy and orangish, massive head and a resin and herbal hops nose. Flavor is pretty decent, but either it is too malty to begin with for my preferences or the transit took a toll. The hops seem a little generic... I won’t say directionless, but they don’t really push toward a specific flavor profile.

Bottle, 22oz. A clear one, amber in color and with a small, dense, beige head. The aroma has lots of tropical fruits, some pine cones and resins, with malty sweetness in the back. The flavor is a bit on the sweet side, but the hoppyness is very nice. Tropical fruits, resiny notes and pine cones, as well as a pleasant bitterness. Full body, smooth carbonation. The finish is bitter and fruity. A really nice one. 120218
