Just got a growler filled with The Bombers at Finger Lakes Beverage Center, where an IPA-loving friend and I tasted three pretty fine fresh IPAs on draft. Hard to decide which we liked the best, but the aroma of this brew convinced us we wanted to take it home.
Poured into a Spieglau IPA glass with plenty of head and head-room, the head is thick and lovely and persists over fine champagne-like bubbles. Brew is a brownish orange, turbid SRM 7. Looks score low because there's no lacing in our fine glassware.
Smell at home, as straight from the draft tap, is wonderfully fruity, fresh lupulin juicy floral hops.
Taste is not as bitter as one might hope. Feels like the brewer is going for a Velveeta Cheese experience, afraid to scare away timid souls who imagine bitter is bad. Some biscuity bready malts hiding the ethanol nicely, but where are those lovely hops we smelled? Vapor only.
Mouthfeel is juicy, fruity like peach, mango or cantaloupe, easy to swallow. Carbonation just right.
Overall, this brew would move me if the flowery aromatic hops were joined with a bottom bitter note, something to tan my tongue instead of just teasing my nose.
