1pt 6oz bottle poured into a pint glass.
A - Hazy light golden with an orange hue. Medium sized white head. Tight bubbles leave a generous portion of lacing.
S - Citrus, lemon, lime, pineapple, mild grass. Husky grain malt. Hinting some alcohol.
T - Hops come across more earthy or grass-like than citrus. Still some lemon flavor. Malt is throughout the whole flavor with a not-so-subtle nuttiness to it. Big on flavor yet modest on bitterness.
M - Medium to medium-full body, short of medium carbonation, semi-dry.
O - Didn't expect this beer so cloudy as I was careful to not wrestle yeast on the pour. Good aroma and flavor albeit not so traditional. That Golden Promise lends a solid backbone. Hops were light and lent too little of bitterness. I also thought it could have had a drier feel to it.

One of the best IPA's I've ever had. Not widely distirbuted. If you get the chance, snatch this one up.
A slight malt backbone that rounds out the floral hops. Sufficient hop bitterness as well makes this a balanced and deliciously satisfying IPA.

On tap at a Double Tree hotel bar in Aurora, CO. Sampled Aug 6, 2017.
Slightly hazy golden yellow under a lasting and lacing white head.
The aroma is mainly floral and pine with a subdued breaded malt note.
The body has a mild acidity to it but it's light to medium.
The taste has a boisterous pine and floral bitterness just as the aroma suggests. Also a kind of tobacco character. Lingers on the finish.

An amazingly sweet beer. It isn't overpowering but it's a very different take on an imperial ipa than I'm used to. It is a welcomed departure and I hope to find more of it back home.

Nice aromas of mangoes/tropical fruit. It is quite balanced and holds up to its 9% quite well. Tasty without being too boozy or thick and surropy.

22 oz. Bomber
Pours a pretty nice slightly cloudy dark golden yellow color, very nice carbonation, with a nice creamy one-finger off-white head, which leaves some nice sticky lacing behind. The nose is pretty nice, hoppy, with some maltyness, citrusy (grapefruit), some pine notes. The taste is very nice hoppy, malty (sweet), grapefruit, some pine notes. Medium body, ABV hidden very well, nice little dry/bitter finish. Overall, a pretty tasty brew.

A mixture of yellow and light orange yielded an impressive full inch of head on the beer. Retention subpar, lacing above average.
Aroma was good on the hops, not great. Leaned citrus.
Taste was an easy drinking dipa offering up more than just bitterness. Warming alcohol, but not distracting or challenging. Hop flavors evolving from just citrus. Malt body and yeast is almost burton-esque.
