Poured into Jacks Abby pint. I had one HELL of a time opening this growler up...
Big thanks to my sister and cousin for stopping by and grabbing me growlers.

A Golden straw body with a slight orange hint and a tiny tiny haze. A vigorous pour brought a medium sized head with little retention leaving some lace when it went down. Pretty active carbonation in the glass when playing with it. Some foam is left on top of the beer.

S Sweet pale malts and earthy, piney hops.

T somewhat balanced upfront for a second then the bitterness really picks up fast. Piney grassy hops with a pretty harsh bitter finish that lingers. Theres some light malt upfront that's sweet then carried by hops to the finish. The more I drink it the more I can pick out the malts which is nice.

M Medium feel with similar carbonation. Finishes somewere between sticky and dry

O NIce IPA that destroyed my palate at first sip. I found it nice to drink a really bitter hoppy IPA and still get some malt out of it. Good stuff from a young brewery, looking forward to more when I'm in the Bristol/Croydon area

Bomber > ST 2xIPA

A - Pours hazy gold, big two finger fluffy marshmallow white head, good lacing.
S - Smells great, pineapple, grapefruit, big earthy pine some some floral notes, a little darker bready malt.
T - Lemon, floral hops, some mild sweet malt, and finishes with aggressive pine.
M - Very dry and bitter.
O - Not bad, the aroma is the best part, its a good IPA, though I wouldnt want a bomber again, but a 12 would be ok.

22oz bottle poured into a shaped pint glass.

Appearance
Pale golden yellow with 2 fingers of white head. Good retention with very low carbonation. Hazy with tons of yeast sediment towards the bottom.

Nose
Lemon and pale candy sugar. Hints of pineapple and papaya.

Taste
Very fragrant lemony aromas. Lemon Pledge, lemon meringue, lemon juice and lemon zest. Orange zest, grapefruit and florals. Thin malt backbone made up of breads and candy sugars. Finishes with zests, fruity esters and dried pine needles.

Mouthfeel
Medium bodied, crisp and dry.

Overall
Well balanced and remains on the drier side of IPAs. Citrus zests, pine needles and florals. I'd really love to see this one ramped up with different hop varieties.

$4.50 bomber from Abe's.

A hazy bright yellow body, seems like its glowing at the center. Three fingers of pure white foam with bubbles of all sizes. Attractive stretchy lace.

Strong lemon and grapefruit aroma. Somewhat too lemon, it's a little off putting.

An opening note of malt sweetness is washed away immediately by gushing citrus. Lot of lemon with some grapefruit mixed in. Bitter snap at the swallow. Clean finish.

Light plus mouthfeel is satisfactory.

An ok IPA, not one to rush back to, but not so bad to not give the brewery more chances.

A very good IPA with only the visual aspect lacking.
Has a lighter amber color with some haziness, a quick fading head.
Aroma is quite hoppy though not as pronounced as West Coast styles. The hop bouquet has a desent citrusy and pine notes, standard.
Drinks dry and tart with a good hop bite. Hops have a piney taste maybe some citrus. Malts balance out nicely sweetening out the taste. Finishes bitter.
A nice beer with good flavor.
