Bomber from my man StFun - thanks, Josh! Somewhat lazy pour for a big DIPA, a very cloudy orange with some sediment and a moderate creamy head. Sharp boozy phenols in the nose along with spice from some yeast, but mostly very sweet hops. Decent mouthfeel makes it a relatively easy drinker, despite the heat. Sweet bubblegum at the beer’s core, with a somewhat bitter finish. Weird and a bit imbalanced to me.

Mar 15, 2010 draft @ Coles, Buffalo NY. Pours a orange copper color. Grapefruit & pine driven hop filled aroma. Heavy citrus hops (grapefruit & orange) upfront with pine rounding it out. Extremely balanced. May lack the huge hop hit of some DIPA’s but a 9% this is extemely drinkable & very solid

Feb 8, 2010 Bottle from daknole’s fridge of wonders. Pours copper with a trim off-white head. Smells of bitter hops, orange zest, and pine. Tastes of each with added notes of soap and gelatin. Not bad at all.

Jan 25, 2010 Lightly hazy yellow/orange with an offwhite head. Aroma is malty and sweet with a great hit of orange peel and light pine. This is heading towards a barleywine. As slingblade would say "I am live ratin this brew". Reckon I don’t wanna drink this one again. Plum near took my head off.

10/25/2009: Great Lakes Lake Erie Monster... Aroma: Lovely hop aroma containing grapefruit, pineapple, sweet oranges. Appearance: Bright gold with a chill haze complexion. Flavor: Smooth toffee malt; ample hops (citrus, hints of pine); moderate+ level of bitterness; slightly floral. Palate: Medium-bodied, very smooth. Overall: Off-balanced toward the hops and some real bitterness (which is exactly what I want in a Double/Imperial IPA - MORE bitterness!); EXTREMELY drinkable. Wow, I FINALLY got to try this beer (and managed to bogart most of the bottle, too!); this is a very good beer and was worth the wait; hopefully I will get to enjoy it again someday less that several years from now!
1 Pint 6 Fl. Oz. bottle ( 9.0% Alc/Vol) shared by alexsdad06. Thanks Brad. I REALLY appreciate it! Rating #153 for this beer.

Nov 3, 2009 Bottle… October ‘09 O-Town Throwdown!… Hazy golden ale with a fizzy white head. The nose is hoppy and malty; earthy and biscuity. Medium to full-bodied with tingly carbonation. The flavor offers sweet toffee and bitter pine. Bittersweet finish – more sweet than bitter. Bottle courtesy of mcbackus!

Oct 29, 2009 Bomber from st fun. Label doesnt match this one but anyway... Light orange in color, small head. Lots of floaties in this one. Nice fresh pine aroma. Taste is the same, fresh pine, floral, fruity and a nice bitterness to it. A little warming from the alcohol. Texture is on the lighter side, easy drinker. Thanks Josh! Probably great on tap...

Oct 18, 2009 Gold. White carbonation. Juicy, fruity, resinous hops on top of mildly sweet malt. Medium body, smooth, easy to drink considering. Great brew from a great brewery.
