Reviewed from notes.
The appearance is a hazy golden orange colored body with a three foamy lumpy head that lasts at least three minutes before dieing concavely into almost perfect valley. A fair amount of lacing is left in the wake of the fall.
The smell has large amounts of hops producing a glorious amount of bitterness yet a faint malty background comes through moreso as it warms.
The taste is bittersweet - combined ever so nicely between the hops and the malts. It has a grapefruit aftertaste, and a dry finish.
The palate is about a light to medium, and comes across mostly sessionable. She’s carbonated just a tad underneath for the style but very good to me as it gets a bit creamy here and there.
Overall, this is a pretty good AIPA that I would have again.

Can pours a hazy light orange tan with a full fluffy dense white head. Lots of big, up front citrusy hops, and big bitter hoppy flavor. Some papery woody notes as well. Best head retention I can remember,

Bomber from Yokes, Spokane Valley. Aroma is grapefruity, cotton candy, doughy. Pours hazy orange with a medium off-white head with decent retention. Taste is bittersweet with an emphasis on bitter. Strong citrusy character. Gritty, highly carbonated. Really good if not great.

Slightly hazy gold pour with a tall, sticky sea foam white head. Piney citrus hop aroma. Lightly yet assertively bitter from start to finish. A bit thin. Overall, a decent IPA.

Bottle @ home. Not sure who sent this one to me in a trade but I’m sure he’s a hell of guy. Thanks man! A touch hazy, dark copper appearance with a creamy, off white head that has good retention. Slightly toasty, pale/caramel malty, light toffee, grapefruit citrusy, light piney aroma. Moderately piney, grapefruit citrus hoppy, toasty pale malty, light caramel flavor with a lingering bitter, dull citrusy aftertaste. Ok.
