Bottle. Pours with a hazed orange body and a tan head. Aroma is very sweet, brown sugar, burnt caramel, rotten orange. Smells cloying. Taste is orange, rotten, caramel, tea, way too sweet. Tastes a bit faded, but the beer is fresh. Too caramilezed, way too high of an FG. Light bubbles, sticky.

Bomber - pours a cloudy reddish copper - lots of large, suspended particles - a bit of a mess of a beer - aroma and flavor is of hops, sugar, alcohol - there is some grapefruit character, but mostly this is sweet and boozy - its saving grace is that there is decent, earthy bitterness - however, the sweetness and strong alcohol presence really kill this one - as it warms, the alcohol is even stronger, finishing like some sort of monstrous mixed drink that is 2/3 ipa and 1/3 cheap-ass vodka - why do I keep trying new IIPAs?
