22 oz. bottle, pours a cloudy orange with a medium white frothy head. Aroma of pungent tropical fruits in the way of pineapple and mango, some floral notes and piney hops. Flavour of pungent tropical fruits: mango and pineapple, with lots of piney hops, floral notes, dried fruits (apricots), with a well-malted bready malt backing with slight sweetness. Finishes dry, tropical fruity, bready and only lightly sweet. Extremely well-balanced and crafted all-round. Most excellent.

Bottle @ Armin’s house. Thanks Armin! Deep brown/black appearance with a nice, light brown head. Rich cocoa, big vanilla, espresso, toasty malty aroma. A touch woody/roasty, fairly sweet chocolate, vanilla, coffee flavor. A bit lighter in body than expected. Pretty good.

Bottle @ Dan’s house, courtesy of arminjewell. Thanks again for all the Kern River stuff! A touch hazy, golden appearance with a white head. Sweet honey, pale malty, straw, hay aroma. A touch spicy, rich honey, a little bit bitter grassy hoppy flavor. For a style that I don’t really like, this one isn’t bad.

Bomber shared by the guys at the Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours hazy darkish gold. Mixed resin/citrus aroma. Smooth flavor that’s about the same. There’s lush fruitiness, and a large amount of hop. Extreme, but not burning, hop level in the finish. Excellent.

22 oz. bottle, pours a cloudy orange with a medium beige head. Aroma of piney hops, buttery malt and sweet caramel malt - very piney on top. Flavour is intensely piney and buttery, with some dry citrus peel and more pine. Delicious piney hop bomb.

Draft at the Citra release. Nose is heavy pine with citrus and light caramel. Clear reddish amber with a small offwhite head. Flavor is very piney with light touches of lemon and caramel. Extremely hoppy for an Irish ale.
