JoeinUccle (902), Brussels, Belgium Jul 26, 2008 Bottle. Reddish-gold with an off-white head. Awesome fruity-punchy nose from hops. Mildy sweet, malty and fruity flavor draped around a moderately bitter center, with a full and somewhat cottony mouthfeel. Sticky bitterness in the aftertaste. Tasty and fun beer to drink. Trev (850), Lakeville, Minnesota, USA Jul 26, 2008 Pours a nice copper colour with a tight off white head.
Nice mouthwatering grapefruit and floral hop. Biscuity caramel malt undertones.
Flavour is grapefruit and tangy citrus hop transitioning into an oddly sour-ish malt and more caramel sweetness then citrus floral hop finish.
A very unique malt profile to this IIPA. douglas88 (1556), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA Jul 22, 2008 Updated: Jul 28, 2008Bomber bought at Sams in Chicago. Pours a cloudy copper color with a thick off-white head. The aroma is full of hops; citrus mostly, and some metallic notes. The taste was so smooth and very tasty; a ton of citrus, grapefruit, a balance of caramel malt and sweet candied oranges. Just a damn good beer. Dangerous, a bomber can vanish very quickly. robforbes (1083), Bremerton, Washington, USA Jul 20, 2008 pours a clear amber with a medium size foamy head, very good lacing.
smell is grapefruit, caramel, spice, roasted malt, hint of orange.
taste is creamy, light grapefruit, some sweet caramel, touch of orange, malt in the back, touch of pine, lightly bitter in the end.
overall there is no alcohol taste and that is pretty impressive for a 10.21% ABV. polomagnifico (532), Saginaw, Michigan, USA Jul 19, 2008 Bottle. Aroma of flowers, honey, citrus fruit, and caramel. Deep red amber brown hue with an average sized frothy head that mostly diminished and left great lace. Flavor is caramel and flowers with honey and bitters. Palate is full bodied and soft. Just a fantastic brew. Solid from aroma to flavor to palate. Just lovely. Homer321 (127), Rockledge, Florida, USA Jul 15, 2008 bottled may 2007, so over a year old. still plenty of citrus and grapefruit hops in the nose. really good nose. slight smell of malt. appearance is a hazy light amber. flavor is goooood. nice balance of hops and malt. I would never guess this is over 100 IBU or 10%. VERY NICE.... MaltDawg (778), Richmond, Virginia, USA Jul 14, 2008 Bomber courtesy of Maniac. Big hop aroma of resiny citrusy hops with some nice carmelized malts and orange blossoms. Amber orange with small white head. Flavor of of piney citrusy hops with moderate hop bitterness and nice supporting pale malt sweetness.
Finish is relatively dry with oranges and hoppy bitterness. Nicely balanced and not overlly bitter. Alchohol is there but sneaky. Excellent beer. tuohyam (14), Enumclaw, Washington, USA Jul 13, 2008 The best IPA I’ve ever had. Great slightly fruity flavor that is extremely smooth. The Maharaja hits you really hard with taste, alcohol content, and price (sadly).
