Bomber from the Arden BevMo. Pours a bit foamy - hazy ripe apricot color with a very temporary whiteish head. Aromas of tropical fruit. Med body. Flavor is resin and some of those hard to pin down yellow/orange tropical fruits. Mango? This is very hoppy, but not in a harsh biting way. It is a bit rough in texture. I like this hop.

Bomber from the Arden BevMo. Dark ale? Pours light amber with a slight white head. Not much aroma. Maybe a touch of treacle. Med minus body. It’s oddly sweetish with very little balance. That treacle aspect - sort of makes me think of gingerbread. Seems a bit gummy. Still, it may be one of the better gluten free things.

This beer pours a clear amber color with a medium thin off-white head that burns away quickly to a film. Top ring of lacing with spots underneath. Aroma of hops and caramel malt. Medium body with flavors of herbal hops, malt and sweet caramel. The finish is short with a lightly bitter hops aftertaste. Fairly inconsequential IIPA overall.

Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Pours a pitch black with a dense light brown head leaving laces. Some hard roast malt and a little (cocoa?)butter in the nose. Solid body, sweet hard roast, quite some chocolate. Roasty finish. Nice alright. 261111
