3.41/5  rDev -6.3%
look: 4 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
Pours a slightly hazy orange with a 1 inch foamy orange-white head that settles to a thin cap on top of the beer. Foamy rings of lace line the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt/grain/rye and some very mild herbal hop aromas. Taste is slightly sweet and is of malt/grain/rye up front with some herbal hops on the finish and a slight alcohol kick with each sip. There is a mild hop bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp and medium bodied mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty good beer that is drinkable but the smell is pretty weak in my opinion.

Pours a light orange color, impressive clarity, good 3/4" white head on it, average in the retention/lace aspect of the appearance score. Aroma gave up the mild hops, sweetness and light rye feelz.

Taste didn't impart the rye though. Light caramel and hop flavors, grapefruit. Good bomber price, but ultimately, being simply a decent ipa isn't going to lead me to purchase another bomber when there are so many 4/6 pack prices from awesome breweries beers (SN/Lagunitas etc. . . ).
