3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bomber from Charleston Beer Exchange. Pours amber with a large creamy beige head. Lots of hop aroma with an undertone of rough malt which likely is the rye. Med body. Foamy carb. Flavor has a lot of rough nutty rye and some earthy and floral hop. Maybe citrus too. There’s so much flavor here that it’s hard to sort things out. Puts a nice burn on the tongue.

Kudos to dchmela for sharing his bottle at the Throwdown!
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft sample at KBJ08. Poured clear copper color with an average fizzy off-white head that mostly lasted and produced good lacing. Moderate rye & citrus hoppy aroma. Medium body with soft carbonation. Moderate bittersweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. My expectations where met and I hope this was not a one off.

22oz bottle: pours a clear deep copper amber with a clingy-lacing froth of off-white head. Has a lightly sweet pale malty nose with some resiny grapefruity hops and a touch of spicy rye. Starts with pretty good fullness and effervescent carbonation with a light caramel malty sweetness and citrus hoppy bitter balance before a drier bittersweet finish. True to style and very drinkable.
