I split this one with the wife. Poured into my trusty Sam Smith pint glass, the beer is a light copper with a bit of chill haze. It has a sticky white head.

It had a nose of juicy fruit gum, grapefruit and a bit of milled grains.

There are hints of orange & grapefruit juice, tropical fruits and a bit of pine. These are all backed by a slightly sweet malt backbone. The beer is well balanced and easy to drink. I like the hints of mango and mint that sneak in late.

The mouth is sturdy, coating and a touch oily.

I liked this change of pace IPA and will be buying a few more bombers before they are gone. Really well priced at $4.99 per bomber at Binnys new store in Oak Brook, IL

[Original rating 2014-12-19] Pours slightly hazy gold with a medium white head. Aroma of bread, grass, earth. Taste starts sweet with a bitter spicy finish, aftertaste is flowery. Nice mouth feel.

Wow-- is this ever an excellent beer. So much hop flavor, but without the excessive hop bitterness.
The aroma is divine as well. And it only improves as it warms up a bit.
I need to find more of this.

Pours brilliant straw, with a faily persistent white foam cap. Light grains and hop nose - tropical fruit, some herbal and pine notes. This is a hop driven beer featuring tropical fruit flavors and herbal,. earthy notes. Medium body and carbonation.

22oz bottle poured into a tulip glass

A- pours a bright golden yellow color with a two-finger foamy and sudsy white head that retains long after the pour, leaving some nice lacing behind

S- fresh juicy hop aroma with notes of orange & grapefruit, red berries, pine, mint leaf, fresh cut grass, earth & herbs. Lightly sweet underlying malt

T- hop-forward flavor up front gives notes of pine, orange peel, red berries, mint and some herbal flavor. Hops remain juicy through the mid-palate, eventually giving way to faint underlying malt sweetness, more hops on the linger

M- medium body with moderate-low carbonation leads to a foamy mouthfeel and a crisp dry finish

O- big juicy hop flavors thought with high drinkability, an awesome showcase of the mosaic hop
