bottle. honey color. nose is caramel/munich malt with a green peanutbutter and lemon/herb hop note. chewy, severely under-attenuated, resinous and woody/nutty. horribly flabby.

(bomber 5/22/11). Cloudy copper color. Medium off white head. Moderate citrus aroma. Flavor of the same, with light malt and light bitterness. Avg duration. Light bitter finish. Slick texture. Moderate carbonation. Good lacing.

Great balance with nice hops up front but a good malt back that finishes clean with neither one dominating. Mostly mid-palate with medium body and enough bitterness to make your mouth water. Nice amber orange color thin head. Solid pale.

UPDATED: NOV 18, 2010 Pours a slightly cloudy copper color. Aroma is strong hops with floral, grass and pine coming through. Flavor is floral, citrus and spruce. Has a nice malt balance with tastes of caramel and honey. Very Good.

Bomber poured a clear orange amber with a lingering ring of amber foam. Aromas of carmel, earthiness, pine and light grapefruit. Palate was medium bodied and crisp with a lightly dry finish. Flavors of carmel, earthiness, light pine and light orange zest with a crisp lightly dry moderatly bitter finish.

Bomber from wine shop on 160 (brewery is out except for tap). Nose is really pleasant floral hops and a nice bready backbone. Flaovr is excellent, forefront is toffee and sage-like hops. Mostly, the hops dominate @ near IPA levels, but a lot of nice flavors co-mingling, a little sweet (honey?) a little bitter grapefruit. Well balanced, really refreshing APA. I tried to buy more several times, and the town is basically out of it.
