Sample at Daily Growler UA. We have officially reached the bottom of the barrel on hop puns with this one. Clear pale golden color with a medium white head that diminishes steadily to a film. Strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus, hops and roast malt. Medium body with flavors of grapefruit, piney hops and sweet malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a fruity hops aftertaste. Above average overall.

Bottle. Amber beer with a cream head. Nice grapefruit aroma with pine and light earth. Grapefruit and pine flavor with light backing caramel. Medium bodied. Good bitterness. Pine and grapefruit linger with light caramel.

Bottle from Whole Foods Westlake, Seattle
Hazy golden color, the color of the sun, with medium sized head. Fresh aroma, with a fruit salad: pineapple, white grapes, lytchee, peach; later the animal side of the hops appear. Lean mouthfeel; the malts are crispy, a bit toasty, with nice toffee and maybe even biscuit touch; strong bitterness, well incorporated, with a resiny final.
Lovely Double IPA.

22 oz. bottle, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out piney hops, a touch of resin, and slight caramel malt backbone. Flavour is super pungent on the resinous hops, pine, slight candied sweetness, and biscuity caramel malt. Hugely resinous and piney, with just enough sweetness to back. Delicious.

22oz bomber pours with a deep gold body that supports an off white head of foam. The modest aroma offers up some malt sweetened citrus, spicy hops, tropical mango fruitiness and a light sugary malt sweetness. The taste begins with big sugar malt sweetened tangelo and clementine juiciness. To midway a modest lime note joins in as the malt sweetness peaks with a modest degree of intensity. Darn good organic brew and one of the better ones I’ve had.

Bomber from Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours translucent gold with a foamy near-white head. Loads of citrus over lightly sweet caramel for aroma. Med body or so. First flavor is lots of citrus. Then I get something that could be pine, but also suggests diacetyl. Followed by some grapefruit. Letting things calm down, the flavors that remain are mostly citrus and a very little caramel. It’s incredibly fresh and smooth given what seems to be a lot of hop and a high ABV. If there is diacetyl, it seems to have gotten lost with time. Good stuff.
