22oz bomber pours with a clear amber colored body that supports a tan head of foam. The aroma offers up sweet malts, some molasses, a bit of pine hops and grassiness and then some malt roastiness. The taste delivers modest pine hops and resiny grassiness amid malts and molasses. To midway the pine hops blend with mild citrus and faint spicy black licorice. Nice hop forward brew with loads of depth.

The California version poured up on tap at 1702 where it exhibits a hop hazed copper body that supports a tan head. The mild aroma offers up muted spicy earthy hops and then some pine hoppiness. The taste is up front bitter and resiny with pine hops, grassy hops and a firm Cascade like spiciness. Pretty good as it’s delivering a load of bitter hops and that works for me.

Can from Stone in Asagaya. Shared at a tasting. Lightly hazy orange with a one-finger head of foam. Lots of citrus and grapefruit on the nose with some orange marmalade and biscuits. Heavy and full-body with average carbonation. Sweet on the palate with a bitter finish. Orange zest and light grass on the finish. Solid enough.

Can from Stone in Asagaya. Pours a clear copper orange with a one-finger soapy white head that lingers throughout. White grapefruit, lemon, orange, iyokan and pith on the nose. Medium to full body with good carbonation. Fruit-forward on the palate with a strong bitter finish. A little rough on the finish, but pretty solid.

Poured up on tap at 1702 where it exhibits a slightly hop hazed copper body that supports a thin bright white head that leaves behind some spotty lacing. The aroma offers up grapefruit and tangelo and then a bit of pine hops and faint earthy grassiness. The taste delivers fresh crisp hops that create a pleasing bitter hoppy harmony. I get a blend of pine, tangelo peel, grapefruit and then a floral sort of earthy grassiness that has a faint cucumber quality to it. In the background there’s a decent malty base that reminds you it’s there every so often. Solid brew.

22oz 10.2% abv bomber pours with a deep dark black body that supports a full fairly dense dark chocolate mocha like head that leaves behind some spotty lacing. The modest aroma offers up subtle dark roasted to burnt malts and chocolate with faint toffee like malts and spicy hops well off in the background. The taste brings a soft smooth somewhat slick mouth feel with rich notes of malt sweetened dark roasted malts and some burnt malts. Toward midway it quickly picks up a pleasing blend of milk chocolate bar and supple sweetened dark roasted coffee. Behind all of those malts and roastiness are murmurs of spicy and bitter hops that have a thin pine hop edge. Lovely roasty sipper where the big abv is hardly noticed. This might as well be a 7% beer.

22oz bomber (8.8%) pours with a dark brown to mahogany colored body that supports a full tall dark tan head. The aroma offers up thin dark roasted malts, spicy to earthy floral hops, a dash of citrus and then a pleasing milk chocolate note. The taste is similar with a hoppy blend of citrus, spicy onion like hops and floral hops floating around amid nice chocolate malts, some dark roasted malts and thin black patent burnt maltiness. It leaves behind a pleasant toasty toasty sensation with persistent hops. Nice CDA.
