Bomber from Bine & Vine. Pours gold with a creamy/foamy white head. Smells pretty much like mandarin orange. Med body. Flavor is pretty much like mandarin orange. Nice citrus aspect to fight off the detectable malt. Some of this SH series are not very strongly flavored, but this is. Not wholly dry, but citrously bitter. My favorite of this set of three, tho the Saphr was tasty.

Bomber from Bine & Vine. Pours light gold with a large white bubbly/creamy head. Aroma is mildly fruity/spicy. Med body. Flavor is mildly floral/spicy/fruity. Some slightly bready caramel support. This is a really nice hop, but it probably needs dry hopping to bring out strong flavor. It’s fairly dry, decently bitter. I like the hop. But, as ever, would like more of it.

Bomber from Bine & Vine. Pours bright gold with a white head. Aroma makes me think of honeydews and kiwis. Med body. Flavor is moderate melon/kiwi followed by some fairly bready malt. Arguably dryish, and clearly bitter. Unusual flavors, but the bitter works. Glad I tried it.

Hazy golden color. Very nice aroma of piney and tropical fruit hops, a bit dank. Off-dry, lean, very dank and piney, with mild crisp base, some hay.
Excellent modern IIPA.

3rd August 2017
About 3 - 4 months old. Hazy orange - gold beer, good cream colour head. Nose of passion fruit and Opal Fruits! Palate is light and crispy. Light smooth malts, light creamy sweetness. Decent pine and light hop spice. Smooth light tropical fruits. Mellow floral orange and orange peel. None of the exotic nose carries over, shame! Smooth finish. Very quaffable.

About 3-4 months old. Hazy gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and slightly dry and has a fine minerally crispness. Light malts impart a light creamy sweetness. Good piney hops, a rich cooling pine. Decent mango led tropical fruits underneath. Mellow hop spice. Piney smooth finish brings mild citric peel. Very nice. Has held up well and the whole bottle vanished in no time.

Bomber from Bine & Vine. Pours lemony gold with a white head. Aroma is citrus, fruit and arguably pineapple. Med body or so. Flavor is fruit, citrus, a bit earthy, a hint of spice, and I think a little pineapple. Malt is adequate. Nice IPA. Fairly smooth; not at all harsh; mostly dry; nicely bitter.

Bomber from Bine & Vine. Pours translucent gold with a large creamy/foamy white head. Aroma is fruit - maybe with a touch of melon. Med body or so. Flavor is a bit tropical with some citrus lurking. Fruity, not quite dry, but pleasingly hoppy and moderately, smoothly bitter. Fruit finish. Good way to relax from the harshly bitter IPAs.
