2014 bottle. The beer is a slightly hazy pale golden color with a medium rocky white head that diminishes gradually to a film. Strings of lacing on the glass. The aroma consists of funky tropical fruit, yeast and malt. Medium body with a vinous oak character and notes of brett yeast, fruit and bready malt. The finish is mildly sour and oaky with a fruity aftertaste. Good beer all around.

Bomber from Cap Tap. Pours light gold with a white head. Fruit juice aroma it is. I call pale stone fruits with a little citrus. Med body more or less. Flavor is bitter pale stone fruits. Don’t think I’m getting much citrus. Could be some green melon. Malt is light. The juicy aspect is fairly strong, and the bitterness is as well, but the flavors aren’t harshly bitter or much beyond moderate strength. A dedicated hop head might want to find something not so NE IPA. Decent drink tho.

Bottle. Pours slight hazy butterscotch, large fluffy white head, long lasting with nice lacing. Aroma is lighter than expected, notes of melon, guava, orange. Flavors is light sweet, very light bitter, juicy indeed but fairly muted. Medium body with a silky mouthfeel. This beer is endlessly drinkable, but doesn’t really pop the way the best do. If this were 4.5% I would be singing its praises as a lawn mower beer, but at 6.5 I have surely seen better.

Hazy light amber. Has a thin head. Has a rich grapefruit nose, with biscuity pale malts, peach. Very sweet, but with a very good mandarin and gooseberry character, very good balance. The alcohol has a light touch. Top quality.

22 oz. bottle, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out piney hops, light resins, and caramel biscuity malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with lots of piney hops upfront, with dry bready malt on the underside. Not the perfect marriage between hops and malt, but it works well. Nice stuff.
