Very cool packaging (bottle is wrapped in burlap held in place by bent wire). Too bad the beer doesn’t really live up to it. Pours a golden copper-yellow with good-sized, quickly-dissipating head. Aroma is grassy and the flavor is,too. In fact, the flavor almost tastes like the burlap was accidentally dropped into the fermenter. None of the big hop bouquet or citrus flavors you might expect. A disappointment.

Bomber from Corti Bros. Pours golden amber with a creamy white head. Aroma is dusty, then fruity. Or maybe "green" then fruity. Interesting. Med + body. Flavor is earthy, dusty, fruity, "green". Getting a mild hop burn. This is very good stuff. Very different. Not getting much malt through the hop flavors. Finishes hoppy and nicely bitter - not a NW, but bitter. Different is quite good.
