Bomber. First New Mexico rate. Aroma is passionfruit, seedy berry jam. Pours hazy orange with a one finger bone-white head that falls somewhat quickly into a ring. Taste is highly bitter, but I wouldn't guess 125 IBUs if I didn't see the label; flavors of tropical fruit, sex, grapefruit pith, light caramel malt. Smells better than it tastes. Overall, not bad 'tall.

Cask at GBBF ’15, day 1, 11/08/15. Lightly hazed orange golden topped with a decent off white swirl. Nose is light fart, citric pith, straw, trace of hops, a touch too much fart. Taste comprises bitter orange, straw, light spice, earthy hops. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close. Pretty mediocre for style, lacks hops and citric presence.
