Hazy amber beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and fairly dry, good fine minerally crispness. Tangy orange, some marmalade, Touch of fresher orange. Floral bitter finish, It’s quite drinkable but overall feels a little hollowed out and recessed.

Bottle indicates from Irvine venue. So bomber from CraftShack. Pours light amber with a white head. Aroma is earthy, touch of caramel, hint of citrus. Full bodied, or nearly. Flavor is very earthy, supported by a decent amount of malt, but the hops is the whole thing here. I’m getting hop burn. Quite sure it’s not an alcohol burn, cause my gullet isn’t complaining. This is as clean as an earthy ale can get. Really messes with my mouth. Likin’ this a whole lot.
