Pours an orange/copper with light white head. Aroma is malty sweetness with notes of pine and spice. Taste is not very interesting with very light hops and dominant boring malts.

Bomba, very clean and fresh tasting, malty, some piney flavors and some resin. Very mainstream and traditional.

Warsteiner (11) - Monroe, North Carolina, USA - DEC 2, 2011
Mostly pine and floral aroma, soapy looking very head large bubbles. Not a lot of flavorsgoing on, for the deep orange color. Bitter but not lots of depth, bitterness lingers like bile not very. Will not finish.

stobbe74 (2767) - DENMARK - NOV 21, 2011
Pours a clear and golden beer with an offwhite head. The aroma is malt, caramel and hops with passionfruit and peach. The flavor follows the nose. The palate is dry with notes of bitterness and notes of sweetness. Overall an average beer.

Bomber thanks to westcoastepicbeerlvr on BA. Hazy golden in color with a huge, infected-looking whitish head. Sour aroma with grassy and citrus hops. The flavor is not good. Definite infection going one. Pale malt base with sour grapefruit and funk, in a bad way. Medium body with excessive carbonation. Overall, not a fan.

Bottle from de Bierkoning, Amsterdam. Shared with Muhunthan. Amber pour with a reserved off white head. Piney hop and citrus in the nose and flavour. Quite possibly past its best and somehow lacking a real knockout blow. Decent enough IPA, but I can’t help but thinking we’ve got more than the match of this on offer in Europe these days.
