BOOM! IBU:89 is an American style Double IPA with a light but balanced malt body giving the hops the chance to do the talking. Lots of citrus, stone fruit and pine notes. With a long lingering bitter finish. Here comes the boom.

Froma 330ml bottle on 15/4/2017. Pours a dirty, murky golden with a tiny head. The aroma is relatively strong, with citrus and stone fruit, and . It starts with biscuit malt but is dominated by ripe apricot and peach, Syrupy with a hint of booze. Quite drinkable if a little unsophisticated.

Clear deep golden color with a fine white head. Good lacing. Fine intensity in the aroma. Medium (+) body and a fine carbonation level. Tad sweet and a bit to low bitterness compared to the sweetness. Unbalanced in my body. Tropical fruity, malty hoppy and some pine in the flavor.

Gylden brun klar med høyt beige skum. Lukter fersken, sydhavsfrukt og noe animalsk lukt mot lær. Middels pluss i bitterhet med godt med fruktsødme i bakgrunnen hele veien. Sitrusskall og sydhavsfrukter, ananas, noe brent karamell og trevirke. Lang.

Taster from growler station in Glengarry Wines Victoria Park. Aroma is fairly mild, with some caramel, biscuit and a little bitterness. Flavour is huge though, and really sweet. Massive amounts of toffee, honey and syrupy melon. Really nice, though not at all balanced. I guess with a name like "Boom!" they’re probably not too bothered about that.
