22 oz bottle poured. I love it when breweries do full lineups of these single hopped beers. Bummed I have only tried this one, but its probably the one I would have picked if I had to choose only one anyway. A bright golden orange pour with plenty of rocky foam head that lasts. Just a fantastic aroma to this. More or less, the room captured the juicy melon, apricot like fruit aroma. Quite fragrant. Juicy flavor, with melon peach and apricot reminding hop characters. Pineapple too. It's got all those notes to it, but really doesn't seem super fruity looking back. Gentle, but remains very flavorful I guess. Cool and clean finish, with a mild grain, and long lingering juicy fruit. Clearly the base beer is solid, but I feel like this is quite the showcase for these hops being something else. Very good IPA.

I loved this beer - more so the first time when it was super fresh (and i gave it a 4.4), but this is just an explosion of hop. The first keg was super fresh and my ratings after that would have been lower. But it was awesome when new.

Bomber from Bine & Vine. Pours gold with a white head. Aroma is fruity and earthy. Med body. Lots of carbonation. Flavor is oddly floral/fruity/earthy. It’s not quite dry, but it’s nicely bitter. New flavors for me.
