Bomber at 8% from Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours bright gold with a white head. Aroma is a bit dank with lots of cooked stone and tropical fruits. Med + body. Flavor is rather dank, with something cooked/roast caramel, and a lot of bitter grapefruit, maybe pineapple, certainly unusual fruits. It is bitter. My tongue has surrendered. Great impact, taste wise. You want it bad, you get it bad here. Bad = bitter! Yum!

22oz bomber called The Big Office at 8% pours with an opaque deep gold body that supports a thin off white head of foam that leaves behind spotty lacing. The aroma offers up a blend of resiny pine hops, the malty base and then pineapple and a sliver of grapefruit. The taste starts pretty smooth with malts and malt sweetened pine hoppiness. It quickly gets into malt sweetened resiny sticky pine hops as well as lesser amounts of pineapple and grapefruit fruity hoppiness that is largely bitter but also a dash juicy. Pretty nice firmly hopped firmly resiny brew.

Large sample on 14th July at the Clay Oven during an Indian food and beer tasting evening. This poured a good golden colour, slight haze though as I got to the bottle late on. Hop nose and taste, mildly citrusy with piney hints in the aroma. Sweeter in the mouth than the aroma suggested, but this is still a hoppy brew first and foremost. Enjoyable.
