Bottle thanks to 505flavours. Alround rating: Lots of caramel and caramalt, lots of bittering grassy hops, some citrusy character too. I dont really know what to say here, its drinkable stuff enough but just lacking the excitment i generally expect from such an ale.

Bomber, purchased and drank at the Hop Leaf in Chicago. The body was hazy medium copper with a light off white head. The aroma was woody with strong grapefruit. There was also some fresh made cloth, if that makes sense. Not fresh laundered, but fresh from the loom. The taste was fairly bitter with some bread crust. There was also some green bean or plent stem type tastes.

Draft sample at brewpub. Poured clear copper color with an average frothy off-white head that lasted and produced good lacing. Heavy sour citrus hop aroma. Medium body with a slick texture. Medium biiter citrus flavor with a medium bittersweet smooth finish of moderate duration. This is a good drinkable brew.

Bottle list 2007 vintage on the side. Poured a hazy copper with a largeoff-white head. The aroma had some band aid phenol to it. Citrusy and dirty with light notes of sweet malt underneath. Citrus flavor with a rind taste in the middle. Mild-moderate bitterness on the finish. Lively mouthfeel with a light-medium body.
