    Well, here you go...

    I'm a little late to the Bomb! party, but whew...this is something. Maybe a little boozy for me, but the flavors are so interesting and, dare I say, balanced? I plan on taking a little while to finish this one.

    Finishers:

    My go-to altbier. Caramel, toast, toffee, nutty, biscuity malts; with balanced herbal/earthy hop flavors; and restrained plum/apple yeast fruitiness. Light-moderate balancing earthy bitterness on the finish. Completely delicious and spot on to style. I need to grab a full six pack of this again soon, this was a single.

    An outstanding IPA. Flavors of big juicy grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, mango, melon, passion fruit, berry, lemon zest, orange peel, and light pine hops; with some moderate light honey/bready malts and dank floral/grassy hop earthiness. Pine/citrus rind bitter finish; with a smooth and sticky mouthfeel with light lingering resinous character. This basically tastes like Hopstache minus the stronger grapefruit peel character. Love all the new IPAs they have been bottling lately. Never disappoints.

    One of my main go-to pumpkin ales this season. Always delicious. Flavors of pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove; with balanced gingerbread and toasted malt sweetness with some floral/grassy/lightly piney hop notes. Light-moderate bitterness. A touch on the hoppy side, but still really well balanced and has a lot of pumpkin fruit flavors against the spice notes.

    Last centennial I had lingering in the fridge. Bright and juicy grapefruit, tangerine, lemon/orange peel, pineapple, and piney hops; with moderate caramel/bready malt balance; and a great smooth and crisp/sticky mouthfeel with slight malt creaminess. Still tasting awesome even after 5 months, but at least now I can get a fresh pack again. My main go to IPA along with Dark Horse Crooked Tree.

Pork chops with potatoes and gravy with a veggie medley and a can of The Great Return IPA courtesy of @cjgiant being drunk in my Uberbrew glass, the first pint glass I've used at home in a very long time (@JayWhitson)

    Hey brother, what can I say? That is misfortune to a high degree. My absolute, genuine sympathy and I hope you keep us updated with how you, your wife, and your mother are doing as you all get through this time. Good vibes your way!!!

    Lol your welcome! Im glad you got a big laugh out of the typo haha. That was a big beer, as it warmed up the heat started to come out on it, which I didnt expect since it was so smooth colder. Ended up taking me awhile to finish the whole bottle to myself, but was very enjoyable. That was the beginning and the end of my night lol. Hope you enjoy yours!
