Bottle: Fiery golden, slight haze, large frothy white head, fairly nice lacing. Semi-sweet citrusy nose, slight grapefruit. Soft hops up front, citrusy but not real juicy. Bitterness is low, very low. Almost seems like a Pale Ale, well slightly above at least. Body and mouthfeel are moderate. Clean finish. Soft citrus peel lingers. Decent...

2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bomber. A very light India Pale. Skunky smell that was hard to get past. A crisp taste but still not that good.
3.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bomber from Malt & Vine. Pours hazy gold with a 3 finger creamy off-white head. Aroma is herbal/grassy. Med body with foamy carb. Flavor is floral/grassy. Moderate malt. It’s bitter, but some could be roast malt. It’s so floral it suggest ESB, but there’s not really enough malt for that. It has a long bitter finish, so let’s just label it delicious.
