Bomber, with thanks to WeeHeavySD, pours a clear golden with a thick frothy tan head, great lacing. Strong aroma of grapefruit, floral and pine. Flavor is a good hops bite, and very well balanced against a solid malt backbone. Palate is medium-full, with average carbonation, and a nice drifting finish. Somewhat reminiscent of the AleSmith IPA, and right up there with it; another one that seems to blur the line between IPA and IIPA a bit. Good stuff!

does not count  Aug 25, 2008 Bottle. Pours very clear amber. Almost no head, but does lace. Does not have a heavy aroma, but has a very even nose. Just enough hops to make me happy and is very balanced w/ malt characters. Finishes clean and leaves you wanting more. Overall a great beer.

Aug 13, 2008 On tap. Just not a lot of malt at all in this one, just a lot of clear, piney hops. Actually, slightly watery in sort of a refreshing way. Crisp and a little astringent. Straightforward and not very complex piney hops. Doesn’t seem to be agressive despite basically lacking in any malt flavor.

Aug 8, 2008 Pours a amber golden body with an off-white head. Nose is really hoppy with notes of elder flower. The flavor is of cause very hoppy, but i also taste grass, honey-melon - not very complex. The finish is long lasting and blooming. The palate is pretty waterish and fading - im missing a little more bite. But alltogether a fine and good beer.
