It’s a beautiful thing. When brewers can get together, draw on their existing expertise and make something unique and absolutely delicious. Sloop and Sixpoint have come together over the years to make four versions of these collaborative IPAs, drawing from the source material of Sloop’s iconic Juice Bomb, combined with Sixpoint’s foray into grain-grape combinations in the small batch Spritzer series. Spritzer Bomb is all the juice of a serious hazy IPA with the tingly finish of sauvignon blanc grapes. Bombs away!

Thick sticky white head that fades slowly. Hazy pale gold liquid.
Nose is juicy melon with light pale malt and tropical fruits.
Taste is much like the nose. Light malt, melon, white wine, citrus. Low bitterness. Clean dry finish. No trace of the abv.
Feel is surprisingly light. Smooth creamy and lightly tingly carbonation. Refreshing and quenching.
This is a solid and delicious NEIPA. I'll be drinking this a lot if it's around.

Overall: Good brew, best saved as an in betweener or starter if you feel like having IPAs all night. Salud!

look: dark orange, a little hazy, not as hazy as those new England beers
smell: suttle lemon and grapefruit
taste: interesting! like a blend of beer and wine? hah, not tropical on the beer end, mostly just malt and cracker, the wine note is pretty strong
feel: smooth, crushable, a little bitter in the finish
overall: decent new beer, cheers!

Poured from a can into a pint glass
Appearance- The beer pours a hazy orange color with a one finger head of puffy white foam. The head has a great level of retention, slowly fading over time to leave tons of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma of the brew is massive of an orange juice aroma mixed with a bit of grape as well as some light tropical fruit smells. Along with these aromas comes some light bready and musty smells as well as a bit of herbal hop.
Taste – The taste begins with a somewhat crisp orange and grape juice taste that is combined with a bit of cracker malt. Upfront there are also some yeasty flavors as well as some herbal and earthy hops. As the taste advances, the hop gets stronger, and a bit of a coriander like spice taste comes to the tongue. The white wine tastes get a bit stronger at the end, and with a touch of alcohol, a nice moderately dank hopped orange and grape juice taste is left to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is medium in thickness and creaminess with a carbonation level that is rather average to slightly higher. For the NEIPA tastes in combination with the white wine flavors, the feel is rather nice as it is a good middle ground to the contrasting feels that would be expected for the individual styles.
Overall – A rather nice and interesting brew with a good easy drinking feel as decent dankness.

O: A solid NEIPA with some grape/wine notes. Easy drinking... hides its ABV nicely.

Typical Sixpoint thin can...canned "26 Mar 2020"
Nice looking hazed up NEIPA pour, about medium squash in color, off white moderate cap, leaves minimal lacing.
Pungent, ripe pineapple sniff.
Thicker and nice and smooth/well rounded in the mouth.
Flavorful, complex and enjoyable offering. More tasty and ripe tropical fruit notes with just a whisper of more resiny his to provide a slight snap to the finish....Nicely crafted DIPA, with a fresh, crafty and boutique kinda feel...well worth a try.

Very hazy yellow; almost opaque but still slightly translucent. White head, good retention.
Smells of big apricot and mango, with some honeydew melon and white grape must.
The taste is a big salad bowl of apricot, peach, mango, pineapple, and musty white grapes. Slightly tart but tropical. Honey and biscuit malt essence. A bit of tangerine zest and a hint of bitterness on the finish, along with some alcohol warmth.
Oily medium feel, medium, moderately carbonated, sweet upfront but lightly dry on the finish with a touch of a resinous aftertaste.
A pretty nice beer. Enjoyable.
