Bottle. Pours clear amber with a small creamy white head that leaves some lacing. Strong strong initial aroma of grapefruit, pine, hay, and cat urine. Initial flavor is strongly bitter and very lightly sweet with a bit of caramel way underneath the hoppy flavors. Total hop bomb, and my initial impression was that this was simply too much of a good thing. However, as the beer breathed it changed character noticeably and become much more appealing. The cat piss faded underneath the grapefruit and pine, and some caramel/toffee notes came out to provide nuance and balance. Creamy and somewhat oily in the mouth. Medium body. This is a very interesting beer, and well worth a try whether you like it or not.

22oz bomber pours clear deep gold with copper hues and thin off white head. The aroma offers up a light amount of lemon and lime like citrus notes on top and underneath there’s wort like grainy maltiness. Overall it comes together pretty nice. The taste has a modest tart citrus note that quickly picks up floral hops and a bit of spicy hops. Toward midway and into the finish it gets grainy to wort like and a little malty. The modest level of lemon lime like notes grow to tepid levels into the finish along with just a slight resiny hop notes.

Bottle @ Dan’s house. Thanks to nightrider. Fairly clear orange appearance with a cream colored head. Spicy hoppy, grapefruity, a bit soapy/floral, lightly toasty malty aroma. Garlic, onion, spicy, grapefruity, lemon, piney hoppy, somewhat dank, light caramel, bready flavor. Not super fresh but still pretty tasty.

Bomber from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours dark ruddy brown with a small bubbly tan head. Aroma is chocolate with a hint of smoke, with some vanilla. Med + body. Flavor is chocolate (still with a hint of smoke), smooth burnt malt, vanilla, and maybe something a little herby like anise. Also suggestions of toffee/treacle. Not a hint of the heat. With time it turns a bit astringent. Quite a taste treat, and it seems rather complex to me.

Bottle: Poured a copper clear with a frothy lacing off white head. Nose is sweet fruit and floral, almost throwing the name sake off. Then in a flash it hammers home that hoppy triple IPA with nice floral. So fresh! Thanks to timfoolery for sending me tho treat. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
