Draft. A hazy golden beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of malt exotic fruits, and hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, straw, hops, spices, and lemons, leasing to a bitter finish.

Bottle from the source. Pours with practically no head...actually, there really isn’t any. Chill hazed amber golden body. Aroma of raisins, nuts, pine, chocolate, and everything you don’t think of when you think IPA. This beer is horrible. Green apple, dirty malt, super tannic from grain extraction (think sparging at 190*), soil, bitter, no hops. Really undrinkable! Probably the worst IPA that I have had. Drain Pour.

Bomber from BevMo, Salinas. Nose of light citrusy hops and a balancing caramel malt. Clear copper with a medium pale beige head. Flavor is moderate bitterness, moderately infected, and a little toffee note. Drinkable but only a mediocre IPA with the infected bottle.

Bottle. Mostly this is a warning for infection. This was a drainpour. Dark amber with a big beige head. Some sweet malt aroma, very little hop. Beyond that - infected - 2 sips was all I could manage before I poured out the rest.
