Bottle shared in London - thanks to Fergus. Pours clear yellow-gold with a creamy, pure white head. The nose holds doughy white bread, simple sugars. Light sweet flavour with notes of cereal, biscuit, white sugar, faint bitter hay. Light bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with more cereal, white bread. Enjoyable.

Bomber from Final Gravity in Roseville, CA. Pours translucent gold with a white head. Aroma of tropical fruits, citrus and salt. Med body or so. Flavor is citrus, some mixed arguably tropical fruits and hardly any salt. Guess the hop overpowers it. It is just barely tartish. There is a very nice mouth taste result - all the flavors combine into a bitter marvelousness. Hard to believe it’s only 20 IBU. Malt? Easily ignored. It supports the hop adequately. Nothing more required.

Citrus IPA, pretty good. Settles my stomach.

On tap at the Calicraft Taproom. It pours a hazed amber red color with an off white head. The aroma is buttery with toasted malt, berries and grape. Not great. The flavor is mildy tart and very thick on the palate. Thick with berries and malt. It has a nice level of berry tartness with hints of orange. Sweet malts throughout. Too thick of a mouthfeel, but the flavor was much better than the aroma IMO.

On tap at the Calicraft Taproom. It pours a crystal clear golden color with an off white head. The aroma has lots of melon, orange and bready malts. The flavor has more caramel and toasted malt, melon, orange and flowers. Honey is felt on the palate. Pretty sweet overall. Kinda meh, actually.

On tap at the Calicraft Taproom. It pours a mostly clear pale golden color with an off white head. The aroma is bready and creamy smelling with hints of grapefruit and a little honey. The flavor is more potent with grapefruit. Lots of grapefruit with some flowery bitterness. Toasted maltiness is a bit strong and mingles with the fruit character. It’s kind of oily on the palate, but drinkable. Decent stuff.

On tap at the Calicraft Taproom. It pours a clear golden orange color with an off white head. The aroma is big with lots of flowers and pot. Pretty much all weed, actually. Hints of lightly toasted malt. The flavor has the same strong weed notes balanced by a bit of honey and lightly toasted malt. It has a reasonable amount of herbal bitterness. This one surprised me. I really liked it. I’m a sucker for big time dank IPA’s.
