12 ounce can into a tulip. Canned 2/29/16. A: Murky dark orange/gold with a tight eggshell colored head. Fair retention and impressive lace. Visible largeish bubbles and a little sediment. S: Sweet spruce, orange and mango(?) scent. Very nice tart note too. Slightly peachy T: Resinous tart pine with a fruity middle that is hard to specify. Maybe peach. Bitterness is there but fairly subtle. Oily finish. Very good balance. M: Light and fairly thin as expected and frothy, finishing Pretty cleanly. Very crushable. O: My first Bombshell beer is a pleasant surprise. Looks great. Smells great. Tastes great. A new addition to my list of favorite SIPAs.
