Bomber from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Nice aroma floated out when the cap popped. Pours gold with a white head. Floral/spice and mild pale malt for aroma. Med + body. Flavor is like an imperial pils. There’s a lot of hop, but it’s going grassy/spicy - so makes me think of pils. Not much roasty malt, so it’s not very APA to me. I’m going with top fermented imperial something! Except the ABV doesn’t work with that. Nothing burning harsh here, but it’s certainly bitter. Sort of a smooth bitter. I’m liking it a lot. Finishes bitter and towards dry.

Tap. Pours clear golden orange, medium white creamy head, nice lacing. Aroma is a bit grainy, leafy, pine, green tea. Flavor is light plus sweet, medium bitter, grainy, really feels like a lager. Pine and wet leaves, orange zest. Medium body.
