750mL bottle bomber pours a clear gold body with copper hues and tall off white to tan head. The aroma offers up somewhat citrus hoppiness followed by malt sweetness and a touch of resiny pine like bitter notes. The aroma attains sort of a rich quality with the rich hoppiness backed up by a nice maltiness. The taste has a nice mix of what seems to be flavor and bitter hops from mostly citrusy grapefruit and tangelo and a sliver of lime. There is a persistent bitter near resiny-ness just behind those notes that takes on a pine hop to cedar wood like sensation. This comes close to the sensation of what licking a freshly milled baseball bat dipped in grapefruit juice(?) might be like. This is good stuff. I love the mix of hops, mild wood and slight maltiness in the background. It ends up rich as well as easy drinkin’

Pours hazy apricot under an off-white head. Aroma is not strong, but hoppy and malty and inviting. Flavor starts evergreen hoppy and drags malt and orange in its wake. Body is average, but fizz is strong and leaves a lasting tingle. Have one for the troops!

Received from a friend....who received from his friend...who is a founder/brewer for one of the collaboration breweries (Center of the Universe) of Homefront IPA. Has nice citrus and oak notes. I am still missing their White-Oak IPA which isn't distributed as much as in the past, but this is a lighter substitute. I have only seen this in bombers here in FL, but maybe the collaboration brewers get to can some of this. Nothing spectacular, but I would think about a 6-pack if I found this in cans when released.

A bright orange colored beer with an impressive, sudsy textured, off white head rising above. There’s good hang time on the head. A moderate ringlet is left behind. Maple lightly on the nose. A sweet, earthy woodiness in the tasting. Robust bodied and a thirst quencher.
