Bomber at Laser Wolf. Nice rich copper orange. Aroma is all about the toasty malts and is a bit on the dull side. Smooth, easy palate with light carbo. The flavors are better than the aromas, as the malts unfold and are balanced by late, crisp, balancing hops. Not bad. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

5/19/12. Clear golden pour with a small off-white head. Sour buttery aroma with touches of malt and hop. Similar slightly malty flavor with a hint of tart hops and again a bit of butter. Eh.

Orlando, Fl - Whole Foods - 22 oz bomber. Pours a murky dark orange with a nice sticky white head that leaves a nice coat of lacing and sticks around a while. Aroma has a slight spruce bent to it - but otherwise is pretty neutral. Flavor has a nice subtle bitterness to it with some light citrus notes, a bit of spiciness. Smooth drinking and a good companion to pizza. Mouthfeel is nice and crisp.

Orange pour with creamy off white head and lace. Bready aroma with resiny hops. (cascade I think). Resiny hops on the front with caramel malt and a decent resiny bitter finish a finishing perfuminess. Medium bodied and a tad fizzy.

The aroma does not make one think that anything special is coming. It’s got grassy hops and a dull clean maltiness. The appearance is deep gold with a small head. The taste makes up for a lack of aroma with a big sweet malt punch to balance a robust hop quality. The palate is thick and smooth. Overall a very good beer!

On tap at CBBC. Pours clear gold with a big white head. Nose is malt, caramel, grass, hops, and citrus. Flavor is sweet caramel, malt, bitter grapefruit, and citrus. Medium-bodied with lingering bitter citrus in the finish. Nice pale.

22oz bottle. Orange color. Aroma of biscuit, malts. Herbal hops, butter toffee. Smooth soft malt, bitter hops. Perfectly balanced.

Fresh bomber. Pours a slightly hazy dark golden amber color with a thick, fluffy head of eggshell to beige foam. Dense, solid walls of lacing coat the glass almost entirely. The nose is very bready, showing a clean, lightly toasted, dry cereal grain base that is balanced with a light dusting of grasses and mild citrus. Flavors largely follow suit, again coming across as balanced and mostly dry. Lightly peppery, grassy green notes cut through the dry, wheaty cereal and toasted white bread elements. Hints of pithy citrus lend further drying, bittering character. The body is moderate in both stature and carbonation, drinking easy because the heft seems more from well-attenuated and unfiltered grain malt than from laboring residual sugars. Good brew. Nothing fancy, just solid and balanced. Boring perhaps, but free of any off-putting qualities.

Veyr good, a little bit hoppy but just enought to be refreshing and nice. Fine pale colour and grain features.

22oz bottle from smith4498, thanks Jason! Pours a somewhat hazed, deeper gold colored body with a thin, frothy, off-white head that dissipates slowly and leaves a moderate lacing. Aroma is fruity citrus florals and grass with a bready pale malt backing. Some decent lemon, grapefruit, and orange notes with a slight sharpness. Flavor is similar. Lots of floral citruses up front with a bready pale malt backing and a caramel sweetness. Finishes dry and moderately bitter with some malt sweetness and a good amount of citruses. Fairly lengthy aftertaste following a medium-light body and a moderate carbonation. Overall, nothing special, but a pretty decent pale ale. Enjoyable enough.
