Jan 13, 2008 The bomber pours clear copper with gold edges and nice lasting tan head along with sheet lacing. The aroma is mild with roasty malts along with some vague hops. The taste has mild spice hop bitterness, faint pine hops mixed with semi sweet malts, mild roasted malts and just a bit of malt astringency. Seems like a nice sessionable ESB with a decent body for the style. It leaves a mild roastiness behind in the after taste.

Jan 13, 2008 Rock solid head, thick and longlasting and leaves tons of very heavy lacing. Attractive deep gold with amber highlights. Great smell of caramel and dried fruits, but the flavor is a little dissappointing - just doesn’t have the intensity of the aroma. Smooth and pleasant, not much hop presence, highly drinkable but it’s just hard for me to get excited about this style.

Jan 11, 2008 (bottle): Pours a light reddish brown body. Small light tannish head, quickly diminishing. Hoppy aroma, somewhat piney, somewhat maty, but not too strong. Malty, piney, acrid taste. Almost dusty taste. Maybe some banana. Watery & drinkable. MaltIness. More hops as it warms up. Too malty for my taste, but very drinkable.

Jan 9, 2008 Served in a dimpled Pilsner glass, cause that is the only thing I had around at the time. Aroma is bready malts and lemonny hops. Some cinnamon too. Color is a slightly hazy light amber-brown. Lacing was excellent; the glass was a history of every sip taken. Inital flavor is a touch salty and then lightly sour at the finish. After taste is a bit prunny. Light to medium body with a creamy mouthfeel. Mighty refreshing!

Dec 31, 2007 Pours a light cloudy brown color with a somewhat sudsy off-white head. Not too strong of a nose. Smells mostly of semi-toasty malts with a nice hoppy backbone. Not too bitter as the name would suggest. Lots of malt and some hops. A little light caramel flavor to the finish. Not too thin not too thick. Nice and crisp with great carbonation. Not my favorite style of beer, but this brew is very tasty.

Dec 31, 2007 Bottle; poured a golden red with some floaties. Aroma of caramel and grapefruit. Flavor was much of the same and good for the style. Also some notes of floral and perfume. A style I don’t love, but this one was pretty tasty.
