A refreshing, very clean beer the drinks more like an IPL than an IPA. Nice yellow color with a good 1 finger head. The taste was very nice, smooth with a mild favor that lacked some happiness of your typical IPA, but for a session, it was nice. Easy to drink.

Pours a light fizzy head that fades at a med pace, light lacing, crystal clear honey golden color.
Nose some nice hops, grassy floral like, mild fruity bubblegum, pretty noble like grassy, mild grainy amber malts.
Taste is solid, more noble grassy hops, mild floral, hint fruity, and then turn a little spicy on the back end. Malts a mild grainy malt with a decent balance, finish is dry with a nice bitter kick fairly clean and light, mild grassy noble hop flavor and slight spicy hop lingering.
Mouth is med bod, decent carb, mild crispness.
Overall pretty nice for session ipa, mostly noble grassy hops that are nice, hint of fruit, and turns spicy and bitter on the finish to remind you that it is indeed an ipa. Pretty sessionable and balanced, enjoyable.

Picked up 22oz Bomber in Sturbridge,MA on Saturday. Beer had no mouthfeel at all. I'd call this more a table beer then a session. Hops barely present. Ended up dumping 1/2 the bottle. There are a handful of really good session IPA's out there but this one missed the mark IMO.

Poured from a 22oz bottle into a mug glass.
A: The beer is a bright gold color, with a medium off-white head that fades slowly and leaves a thick but spotty lace on the glass.
S: The aroma contains piney hops, fruity citrus and light caramelized malts.
T: The taste starts out sweet with some grassy hops bitterness that is quickly followed by mildly sweet flavors of citrus and caramel. Then a hearty but not heavy malt character comes in and creates a good balance. The after-taste is slightly hoppy and slightly sweet.
M: Crisp and smooth, light-to-medium body, medium carbonation, finish is slightly sticky.
O: Tasty, goes down very easily, not too filling, very mild kick, good representation of style, this is a nice poundable beer to drink for a long time.
