Bomber shared by Marcus. Pours dark gold with a white head. Mild cat pee aroma. Med body. Flavor is earthy citrus with some nearly roasted malt. Gets a little leafy and dryly hitter in the finish.

Pours a hazy ruddy orange color with a medium foamy white head that recedes steadily. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of herbal hops, malt and fruit. Medium-bodied with flavors of piney hops, earthy malt and fruit. The finish is moderately bitter with a grapefruit and hops aftertaste. Decent overall.

Bottle @ Steve’s house, courtesy of Craftshack. Pours a hazy orange appearance with an off white head. Lightly metallic, a bit vegetable, chewy herbal, a bit earthy, light citrusy aroma. Slight woody, light orange, tangy herbal, dull bitter, slightly toasted flavor. This one is not in good shape just like the Cluster I ordered from Craftshack.

Bottle. Pours crystal clear orange with a small beige creamy head that dissipates slowly and laces extremely well. Aroma is pine, spruce, cat piss, backed by a bit of grapefruit. Flavor is lightly sweet and medium bitter, resinous. Medium body, oily mouthfeel. Smooth finish, not harsh. Good, not great, IPA.
