Drake (5231) - Charlottesville, Virginia, USA - JUL 19, 2010
Bomber courtesy of riversideAK. Thanks! Pours a hazy orange color with fine floating particles. Large white head with good head retention and lacing. Aroma of big citrus hops and big toffee malts. The taste is much the same... big toffee malts with some caramel and big citrus and resin hops. Moderate hop bitterness and a very well balanced beers. Thanks to Alex’s Mystery Swap 4 shipment, I know now know that the Pacific NW knows how to make a damn good IPA. Nice beer here.

bhensonb (7589) - Woodland, California, USA - JUL 19, 2011
Bomber from Malt & Vine. Pours a beautiful copper with a creamy/bubbly beigeish head. Aroma is very floral and fruity. Med+ body. Flavor starts with a little roast caramel, then moves on into so much hop it seems like a mix of fruit/citrus/pine/floral, then a little more caramel comes out - something like a barley wine. The flavor is intense, but the immense hop is not at all harsh. It is amazingly wonderful.

TomDecapolis (4006) - Skippack, Pennsylvania, USA - MAR 24, 2006
Thanks to hopdog. Pours a hazy golden amber with large chunks of floaties. Average off white foamy head that left nice lacing. Aroma of citrus, pine and a sweet maltiness and great aroma. Flavor along the same lines as the aroma but not as well presented. Was smooth and blended though.

this harmon offering was a pleasant surprise. there is a strong and pleasing malt note to this DIPA which makes it entirely drinkable and leaves you wanting more. There is absolutely no bias due to Tacoma being my home town...a good ale is where you find it!

Thanks to hopdog for this… Appears a hazy golden orange with small hops and yeast chunks in the bottom of the glass. A small white head that never leaves. Lots of lacing is left around the glass. Smell is of citrusy hops & caramel with some sweet maltiness and dough in the mix. Taste is of the same aromas with slight malt and sugar sticking out of the batch. Mouthfeel is sweet, malty, and doughy. Drinkability is decent overall with nice citrus.

hopdog (7053) - Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA - MAR 24, 2006
22oz bottle acquired in trade with DarkElf (thanks!). Poured a medium and hazy golden-amber color with an averaged sized off white head. Large floaters. Aromas of orange peel, citrus, and pine. Tastes of caramel, citrus, and had a light honey sweetness to it. Hoppier in the aromas than the tastes. Some lacing left on the glass. I found the alcohol content to be fairly well hidden (finished with a light alcohol burn). Gave me some nice piney burps. Maybe the extra months I had this one mellowed it out some as I’m surprised by the lower numbers.

Cletus (6063) - Connecticut, USA - NOV 9, 2009
Bomber courtesy of 5000. Pours a hazy caramel with a lasting tan head. Smells of sweet citrus, resin, caramel. Tastes of spice, peppery, bitter, metallic, resiny. Enjoyable.

Aubrey (3193) - Bellingham, Washington, USA - MAY 10, 2012
Tasty, malt-forward IPA. Really rich hop flavors. Earthy, zingy, grassy and herbal. Malt flavors are loaded with sweet caramel, brown sugar, toasted bread and scones. Has a tobacco note also. Alcohol is hidden pretty well, though it does warm the back of the throat a bit. Good beer.

pours a ? head and amber color. Aroma is nice, sweet citrus hops, secondary fruity, brandy. Taste is slick/not quite syrupy, sweet citrus hops, secondary fruity, brandy, some alcohol notes. Right on for style.
