Bottle: Pours a clear copper with a tan head. Aroma, piny and earthy hops with some caramel malts. Flavor, caramel and pale malts up front, some pine and earthy hops on the finish. Nice bitter kick on the finish. A tasty brew.

Aroma: sweet crystal and pine aroma,
Flavor: sweet malt flavor, lots of crystal sweetness up front, big bitterness kicks in mid way through and takes over, long bitter finish,
Overall: too disjoint between the sweet crystal and the big bitterness, needs more middle hop flavor to tie it together,

May 10, 2008 I think every beer I have had for the past couple of weeks has been from a trade. I love you traders. A very sweet malty aroma with a little citrus in there. Pours a cloudy orange. Flavors of sweetness and hops but a muted sort of hop aroma. Mostly malt and sweetness up front and then a finish of a bitter hop finish with some citrus/grapefruit as well. Decent double but look for a lot more hops and a little less sweetness in my favorite doubles.

May 7, 2008 Bomber poured a clear amber with a lasting light amber head. Aromas of carmel, earthiness, light pine and light citrus. Palate was medium bodied and smoothj with a dry finish. Flavors of carmel, grapefruit rind, light earthiness and light pine with a smooth dry lingering bitter finish.
Overalll a bland dissapointment of a beer.
