Once, there was a dictator so evil he forced upon the masses an industrial beer that had no soul. But then, one good-hearted man, or perhaps many posing as one, rose up and concocted a despot-dethroning flavor bomb that could save the world. Gamma Bomb IPA. A piney India Pale Ale. Exploding with hoppy goodness. Pull the pin.

12 oz can pkg date 6/8/23 into a Becher glass.
L: Pours yeast hazed butterscotch gold with a thin white head, light carbo bubbles, OK head retention, good lacing with some loose bands and sheeting midway through.
S: Pineapple, mango, fruit cake, caramel malts.
T: Fruity, citrus, crushed pineapple, pine resin, honey, a touch of melon rind. It is a little bit sharp and is intensely full-flavored. Bitterness is strong in the finish with citrus zest and pine. Has an extremely long linger and is fairly sweet.
F: Captivating semi-juicy medium-heavy body with a smooth center and a snappy dry finish that is remarkably lengthy.
O: A very resinous and heavily-zested American IPA that packs a hop-frwd load of flavor to a high level. Not unreasonably strong but potent all the way. It is moderately intense and is excellent in its style.

Had on tap at Locals Cantina in Dayton, OH. Slightly hazy with little head but lots of lacing. Nice traditional American IPA aroma with lots of pine. Good, crisp flavors go to the same traditional style: pine, light citrusy, orange-like notes. Light, quaffable body with a hint of sweetness coating the mouth after a sip. Strong hops bitterness and alcohol that is noticeable, but feels lower than the posted 7%. Overall, this is a down-the-line American IPA, well executed and very drinkable.

Pours a deep amber with a small dense white head.
Aroma is very floral to me. Some citrus and pine as well.
Flavor of orange peel, melon, passion fruit. Finished dry with a slight pine bitterness.
Medium full mouthfeel with little carbonation.
Overall a decent IPA although not one I will be looking for again.

Purchased from Kroger as a single can for $1.99. Poured into a nonic pint glass.

L - Pours hazy orange with a one-finger sticky beige head that quickly dissipates.
S - Pine sap, citron, passion fruit. Hinting at honeysuckle.
T - I shit you not, this tastes like one of those Fry's Turkish Delight chocolate bars. Rosewater, lemon, pine sap, and honey. No real sense of malt here, but not bitter in the slightest. It's like a hop-bomb, minus the overly bitter notes.
F - Strong. Astringent. Very light carbonation. Full-bodied.
O - Although the score may reflect differently, this isn't close to being my favorite IPA. However, this one is tasty for sure. It'd pair with bar food or pizza-by-the-slice extremely well. It's enjoyable to drink, but it's pretty strong. I probably wouldn't drink more than one of these in a day, but it's a nice experience regardless. I wish it had more maltiness, though.

12 oz can at the 2019 Dublin Irish Festival. 11 June 2019 canning date stamp on the bottom of the can.
This is a bolder tasting IPA than the aroma suggests. The aroma and the flavor both suggest citrus fruits and baked bread. Moderately bitter for style.

Between Yellow and Orange in color. Smells tropical and tastes between fruity and tropical. I can taste a lot of citris and bit of maybe papaya and also a bit piny. Goes down nice

A tad pale for an IPA, with a slight golden hay color. Smells citrusy and sweet. Smell and aftertaste remind me of orange juice. Very bitter, overwhelms the fruit notes until the aftertaste. One of my favorite every day beers.
