Bomber. Nice, reasonably English nose, a little Spaghetti-ish funk with caramel, nuts, brown sugar, and a syrupy dark earthy malt. A little dusty. Hazy, gradient, pale amber with a lovely, creamy beige head - rocky and stylable. Taste is lightly bittersweet, dryish with earthy bittering hops and a lot of character from the yeast. Body’s a bit thin and the malt has seemingly disappeared, but for a dusty, dry, lightly toasted flavor, you can’t go wrong with this hop-foward session.

Dec 31, 2008 Bomber. Nice honey gold with big pillowy white head that leaves some nice lace. Aroma is nice with a great balance between malt and hops. Soft but very attracting. The flavor is just as balanced but not as potent and juicy. So drinkable though; a great session brew slash thirst quencher. Medium bodied with minimum carbonation that is very smooth and easygoing. Overall: though not complex, this is very complex and I am really enjoying the more simple and drinkable session styles like ESB, of which this is a pretty solid example.

Dec 23, 2008 Pours light amber with a big off white head. Aroma is sweet and malty, with caramel notes coming through. Taste is nice and malty, with a slight bitter finish as well as a slightly sour flavor at the end. Not a bad brew.

Dec 15, 2008 I picked up a bomber of this at Wise Guys in Merrillville, IN. It pours a very slightly hazed copper body with an off-white head and good lacing. It has an aroma of old toffee topped by some herbs and dried flowers. Medium bodied. Nice malty taste offset by an earthy bitterness but with a slightly soured touch at the finish.

Sep 17, 2008 Bomber at Jerry’s. Muddy dark gold with big, floatsam off-white head / Faint hop nose / Light to medium body, lively but delicate carbonation, with long and dry finish / Complex, Belgian-like flavors of brett, dried mushrooms, and dry hops, with long and dry, lightly bitter finish / Surprisingly outstanding - blind would guess a farmhouse ale.
