Shared with General66 and Illini08 waiting in line at Dark Lord Day. Poured amber with a white and foamy head. Aroma consisted of hops, pine, banana, grapefruit, and some malt. The palate was very crisp; nothing too overpowering but not bland as well. I compared the texture and bitterness to the Bells Hopslam without as much floral tones. Great balance and good Double IPA.

Jul 22, 2008 Bomber 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 dissapear very quickly.

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.

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.

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.
