Pours a light amber color. A moderate malt aroma with mild hops. Flavor has mild citrus sweet taste with a slow acidic finish.

Oct 7, 2008 <i>My Bottom Line:</i><br />
Dull caramelized cereals observe earthy, leafy hops attempt to take control as they paint mediocre flavors and bitterness onto this slightly disorganized English-style Pale Ale.<br />
<br />
<i>Further PErsonal Perceptions:</i><br />
-A veil of foam tops the hazy amber.<br />
-Tartness builds as you go through the bomber. Surely something is awry.<br />
-Balance is achieved I guess, but clarity and structure in the flavor profile would be needed to say it was successful, imho.<br />
-Effervescence remains soft and thus the lean body is able to offer drinkability.<br />
-This isn’t that bad, but I cannot deem it a good example of a session Pale Ale either.<br />

Jul 27, 2008 Bomber. Pours chill-hazed copper with a lacy off-white head. Aroma of citrus, earth, flowers and toffee. Medium body, moderate carbonation. I’m at a bit of a loss to describe the taste. Maybe mango with some butter? Earthy and dry finish.

May 4, 2008 Appearance: Pours a clear, amber body with a small white head.
Smell: Spicy toffee drops with a bit of lemon peel.
Taste: Sweet, candied maltiness. A taste of lemon peel sprinkled with spice and table sugar. Mild bitterness that lingers on into the otherwise light finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: C’mon, it’s not that bad, is it? I found it to be a decent little pale ale.
