22 Oz bottle shared by Tcon. Thanks! Bengals and beer! Pours a clear bright orange color with thin oily head. Huge orange juice like aroma. Huge citrus, grapefruit flavor, and intense sweetness. Juicy fruit finish. Unique, tasty, but too sweet. Pretty good.

Opaque very dark brown color, massive fluffy brown head, almost ice cream cone. Nice aroma of vanilla, truffles. Taste has vanilla, malted milk balls. Hi carbonation interferes with the mouthfeel a bit - pretty amazing if it’s barrel aged beer (but it isn’t, is it?).

Bomber from Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours translucent gold with a large foamy off-white head. Aroma of earth and resin. Hinting at dank. Med + body. Flavor is resin, earth, citrus, sweet light stone fruits, and somewhat roasty malt for support. Dank? Not sure how wide the concept is, but, sure, dank. There’s a massive amount of hop in this, and I’m thinking a huge malt bill as well. Get this. You’ll get your money’s worth!

Bomber from Corti Bros. Pours hazy orange tinged gold with a small beige head. Aroma of really fresh grapefruit - like it was just cut. Near full bodied. Fresh grapefruit forward, then some really heavy caramel, followed by more grapefruit. It’s malty, grapefruity, and arguably bitter. It’s very strong, and the flavor components are difficult for me to parse. It really, really tastes good tho!
