22 ounce bottle into a snifter. Bottled 4/1/16, had this on 5/24/16.
Pours a cloudy amber/orange, with a one finger head and a good amount of foamy cling. The smell is citrusy hops- orange, pineapple, some mango, malt, light yeast, some dankness. Taste also starts with the citrus hops- orange, grapefruit, pineapple, malt, yeast, a little green onion to go with the bigger dank hop presence. A little sweet- not much, light bitterness throughout. Very smooth, refreshing, semi- dry, solid body, well carbonated.
The hops play together better than the label leads you to believe. Very well balanced and flavorful. Another terrific DIPA from PW.

Bottled April 2016; drank 4/6/16 @ the Yarchives; extremely fresh!
Poured from the bottle into a glass.
Cloudy orange appearance.
A rough pour yielded a nice khaki head; a thick curtain of lace.
Mango, grapefruit & orange citrus notes in the nose.
Medium mouthfeel.
Melon, grapefruit & faint honey flavors up front; dry, bitter blood orange notes on the finish. Almost no booze heat. Drinkable but too bitter for me.

A - Copper orange color, creamy lacing.
S - Tropical fruit with some spicy dankness.
T - Tropical fruit from start to finish with some sweet malt. Otherwise, the beer is dominated with orange, tangerine, and red juicy grapefruit rind. Some alcohol does poke through, but otherwise, a hop dominated beer.
M - Medium body, gentle carbonation.
O - A fantastic D-IPA.

Bomber. Deep hazy orange with finger white head, fades slowly to thin bubbly film. Malt n ripe citrus aroma. Tastes of sweet candy malt, ripe citrus fruit, get some earthy herbal notes in a very dry finish. Medium soft mouthfeel. Nicely balanced tasty DIPA.
