Bomber from Bine & Vine. Hopefully a 2012 version. Pours very hazy orange/amber with a creamy white head. Seems to be grapefruit aroma. Med + body. It’s almost chewy. Sort of laidback grapefruit flavor. Lots of hop, finishing bitter. Not at all harsh.

Bomber shared with Brenn79, thanks. Aroma is citrusy. Pours a cloudy cantaloupe hue with a decent head. Taste is lightly sweet and turns bitter mid-palate and remains fairly bitter through the long finish. It’s okay, but nothing to write home about.

Bomber of 2012 Edition. Pours a hazy golden orange color with a dense layer of white foam and bubble clusters. Aroma starts out earthy and herbal with notes of honey, peach, orange citrus and pineapple. The flavor opens up with a shot of hops resin and vegetal bitterness followed by some tangerine, passion fruit, pine and grapefruit rind. Also some bready malt characteristics in the background and a bit of citrus-flavored alcohol toward the end. Mouthfeel is soft and smooth with moderate carbonation and an aggressively bitter, resiny finish. Overall, a potent and flavorful blend of concentrated leafy green hops flavors.

color anaranjado cin una gran espuma blanca densa y persistente. Aparentemente carbonatada con una aguja fina y abundante. Aroma a lupulos florales maltas dulces y una nota a madera. Sabor primero a lupulo seguido de maltas cara para volver a un intenso sabor de lupulo y alcohol con final seco y amargo. tiene un gran cuerpo

Thanks to 5000 for sending me this bottle. The beer was drank fresh sometime last fall. The beer pours a yellow-gold color with a large white head. The aroma has quite a bit of juicy orange citrus, with some pine and a little bit of biscuit malt. The flavor is a little bit different. Up front I get a ton of orange and resin notes, with a medium amount of bitterness. There is also some bread from the malt. Overall, the beer is very dry. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

amber color, aroma of citrus hops, light malt, flavor of spicy citrus hops, little malty sweetness, earthy, very nice DIPA

Bottle shared by beerboxer. Pours cloudy golden with a massive off-white head and a light grassy aroma. There is a dry caramel malt flavor with a lots of citric bitterness that sticks to the palate.

Bottle given to me by my friend Bruce, thanks for the opportunity. Pours a hazy golden color with a huge fluffy white head that displays mad retention and lace. The aroma drips with hop juice, pine resin citrus they are all here. Faint malty background of bread and caramel barely pokes through. The flavor gives off more malt than I would have thought from the aroma. The hops are still here in full force but there is more bready malt than I expected. Medium body and carbonation level, sweet resinous sticky mouthfeel. Really good fresh hop ale to bad its brewed so far away and not easily obtainable.

Bomber. Labeled as 2011 Fresh Hop Edition. A very good strong hoppy brew. Definently has the fresh hop taste. not much sweet and just a bit of citrus. Great bitter finish that lingers.

Had the pleasure of trying this on draft down at Belmont Station last harvest season. Citrusy, earthy, dry, yet extremely resiny all at once. Nice fresh characteristic going through the whole palate. Beautifully bittered through the finish. Tasty goodness!
