22oz bomber pours up with a clear deep gold body that supports a near white head of foam. The aroma offers up tangelo, tangerine and a bit of lime to go along with lesser notes of spicy dankness and floral hops. The taste delivers a pleasing blend of hops that are bitter and juicy and a little bit resiny too. Just like in the nose I get tangerine, tangelo and clementime citrus hop juiciness playing against bitter spicy onion dankness and some bitter floral hops. This is working rather well.

Bomber from Bine & Vine. Pours Pours hazy copper with a slight beige? head. Aroma of resin and fruit. And caramel. Med + body. Flavor is quite malty, especially as the quaff drains away. The hop is "strong" fruit - it’s not citrus, and it’s not ? Maybe it’s odd fruits. But it’s really strongly flavored. Each quaff is rather malty/sweet, but as it drains things go bitter. To some extent it’s like sucking on wood. Flavors move around. I think we need to say this is complex. Cactus is coming to mind. Enough. Damn flavorful in a non-NW IPA manner. We may have to start talking about SoB IPAs (South of the Border, not what you thought!) Last minute thought - maybe tea is an appropriate descriptor. As one of the many flavors.
