Can @ home. Clear golden color, medium sized white to off-white head that lasts for a decent while and leaves fair to good lacing. Aroma is incredibly hoppy, traditionally hoppy I'd say. Flavor has it too. Hard to describe. Weird to say "traditionally hoppy", feels like I'm an old man all of a sudden. Not the over the top fruit juice that appears to be all there is nowadays. Medium body and carbonation. In any case: I really love this IPA. Awesome.

Bomber from Corti Bros. Pours copper tinged gold with a near white head. Aroma is mostly coffee. Nice, but not over the top. Med + body. Flavor is not very dry, coffee, smooth, slick malt. Coffee bitter helps with the malt. It's quite different from ales I'm familiar with. Good; quite tasty.

Bottle shared in Canary Wharf - cheers to Kenny. Pours hazy gold with a creamy, white head. The aroma holds faded pine, pale grains. Medium sweet flavour with aggressive bitterness, husky grains, pine needles, ripe citrus. Full bodied, oily, with fine carbonation. Hot finish, more oily pine, pale grains. Fairly basic. OK.

Bomber from Bine & Vine. Pours hazy/translucent gold with a huge foamy white head. Aroma of pale stone fruit with some citrus. Med body plus a bit. It's dank and the stone fruit isn't exactly over-ripe, but it's not just starting to ripen either. Flavor/burn sticks to the tongue. Not much in the way of heat. This is a rather different result from my experience with Eureka and Citra, tho I may not have knowingly had them together in such strength. And there's discernible malt support. Really interesting, deadly drinkable, and delicious on the whole.
