bomber poured a golden in color with a thick one finger head on the pour and good carbination. smell is hops, grapefruit, citrus, apricot, and hops, hops, hops. taste is grapefruit hops, slight sweetness, mid range on body, and has some nice malted thickness. taste is right up my alley, i love this stuff, nice pine floral bitterness, great sweet bitter balance, and goes down real smooth. the labeling on this bottle is strange, does not say one word about it’s contents, and almost made me pass this one over in the store but am i glad i did not.

Aug 12, 2008 Clear golden yellow with a lighter looser white head, thinner, fading fairly fast. Light malt over slightly past prime juicy hops. Guava and papaya with some aspirin. Clear though, no skunk. Creamy to fizzy light but not watery body. Past prime hops are a bit stronger in the flavor. Light malt has some toast. Not a ton of depth. Fruity hops. Toasty astringent finish.

Aug 10, 2008 bomber. orange-ish brown pour with a medium tan head that disappears pretty quick - and a fair bit of lacing. a somewhat muted grassy hop aroma. sweet malt, caramel and tropical fruit taste. really good texture - but leaves me hanging a little with on the finish - probably wanting some more bitter bite. Good, but not great for my tastes.

Jul 30, 2008 An interesting brew. While drinking this, I thought it must be a in imperial IPA. I was a little shocked to see it wasn’t. Anyways, talk about fruity! Wow! It has a unique sweetness that is in a league of its own. Feels great going down and has a great lingering aftertaste. If you’re in the mood for a great sweet IPA with minimum bitterness, go check it out (if you can still find it).

Jul 28, 2008 Thanks acknud...this beer is smooth and really damn good. Pours a golden color wtih a thin but foamy white head. Aroma is hoppy but also ciderish. Flavor is malty, almost like a boddingtons with a great hop bite. A little more hops and this would be world class!!!
