Very amber leaning red. some crytal malt and roast notes very soft mouthfeel. no off characters some cereal grains and lite hop not dryhopped I would guess.

Pours a ruby red colour, darker and heavier, but sparkley in the mouth and a long citrusy finish. I had it on draught, and the head was a decent two finger size.

The bottle probably had a little age on it, but it was still in nice form. Aroma has some light roasted malt notes, and a touch of floral hops. Appearance had a nice cherrywood color to it with a 3-finger thick head which melted fairly quickly. Prickly mouthfeel. A smooth roasted malt flavor that was neither expressive or demure..just there. Probably much better fresher.

Bomber from the brewpub. Roasted malt aroma. Reddish amber color with a decent off-white head. Medium bodied with spritely carbonation. The flavor is roasted malt and floral/herbal hop. The finish is neither dry nor sweet, and it has some decent bitter. There is fruit hiding within, and the drink is pretty good.

Bottle. Ruby-amber beer with a nice off-white head. Slight roasty aroma with malt, cereal, and spice. Light bodied and creamy. Roasted malts and a very smooth flavor. Very good beer. Just wish the cody was a bit heavier, but it goes well. Refreshing, easy to drink
