Bomber at home. We do SIPA bombers seems odd. Gusher. Cloudy golden orange and large head. Nose is citrus and pine. Tastes of strawberry, melon, lemon, pine, candy. Light bitterness. Fruity finish. Easy drinking

Bottle sample at a tasting at Oren's place. Slightly hazy yellow. Somewhat stale fruity hops, sweetish, bitterish finish, medium-bodied.

Bottle, clear gold, lasting head retention with a bright citrus aroma. Lemons, tangerine, lime peel. The flavor has a nice backbone of malt with the citrus giving balance. Bitterness is " lite "... See what I did there, ha! That being said it IS a session IPA, thinner body. This beer finishes clean without any one character showing at all. No flaws and very easy to drink. Nice

Draft at Cask and Vine. Slightly hazy deep yellow with a decent off white head that persists. Huge citrus nose with bits of melon and a solid supporting sweet bready maltiness. Big citrus hop flavor with a solid bready light caramel maltiness that is firm but never overpowering. Medium body with a moderate carbonation. Wow that’s a pretty damn good IPA right there. I came here tonight to try something else, but I could have easily relaxed with a few of these!
