22oz bottle pours a clear orange with some creamy white head. Nose is pine, grapefruit, earthy, sweet. Flavor is sweet, earthy, pine. Medium bodied, sweet, earthy finish. Not sure what the hype is all about, this was fairly pedestrian in my opinion.

Hazy amber beer, little white head. Fresh orangey hop nose. Palate is semi dry and semi soft. Fresh hops - orange that starts bitter but gets a little sweeter. Grapefruit in the background that a bitterish finish and afertaste. Good creamy malt base. Really liked this IPA - loved that bitter and sweet contrast, highly drinkable.

Bomber. Pours a murky brown color with a large off-white head. A sweet nose of caramel and some deep malts. The flavor is very nice: light spicy malts, caramel, fruit, light strawberry, fruity hops. Very clean and mellow. Good.
