L: Pours gold with a very slight chill haze under a rocky 3” rocky foam cap that slowly descends to 1” and provides clingy lace.
S: Opens with an herbal, minty nose with traces of citrus.
T: A light biscuit malt backbone supports melon, papaya, citrus, grapefruit and mint flavors that lead to a clean, bitter finish.
F: Creamy, juicy medium body and carbonation.
O: A wonderful beer for a blisteringly hot day.

A: Translucent golden with a foamy white head.
S: So much orange and mango in the nose, maybe some tropical fruits.
T: Orange, citrus peel, grassy notes, pine, lemon. Not what I had hoped for after the nose.
M: Medium bodied and smoother than your average IPA which is nice.
O: The taste is a bit disappointing, but it's still a really good IPA. It just smells better than it tastes. That said, I would recommend it. It was given to me be the owner of a bottle shop, because he couldn't sell it. His shop was overpriced, but he had things you won't find anywhere else nearby. The fact that he couldn't sell it, to me, seems to weigh in favor of it's low score on BA, but I think it's way underrated.

Bomber to a pint glass, no freshness date
Pours a pale yellow gold with three fingers of foam with moderate carbonation. Good retention unfortunately, guessing the lacing should be pretty good also. Poor color and carbonation
Smells of herbal and floral hops, minty lavender, light bready malts, and a little bit of alcohol. Unique for an ipa, not sure if in a good way. Sort of reminds me of stone 17 anni and green bullet, actually really interested in the hops they used
Taste is with the nose, same herbal and floral hop profile. Minty lavender still, same with the malt profile and alcohol. Really on right with the nose
A bit of a lighter moderate body, bitterness is a bit mild, still drinkable none the less
Overall, an interesting and unique beer. Nothing too special though
