Sep 15, 2008 Found a bottle of this on sale up at the local liquor shop and glad I did. Opened the bottle and the piney hops aroma really started to pour out. Pours in the glass a great red color and produced a GREAT head that really lasted most of the drink. Aroma is very strong on the pine scent but has a very good caramel malt addition as well. Flavor is great! The pine and caramel meld great with some citrus acidity at the end. Can definitely taste some Fuggles hops in there. Great lacing on the glass and very little alcohol influence due to the perfect amount of hops to hide it. Truely a great beer that I will have to stock up and age em a bit. Really wish I had two more here at home!

Sep 13, 2008 This might be the best Lagunitas beer to date. Seems more IPA like than a strong ale, but whatever. Light orange color with moderate head and lacing. Caramel malt. Just the right balance of sweetness to compensate for the generous citrus and pine bittering hops. Really enjoyable.

Sep 7, 2008 Bomber.... pours copper tone with hints of red, nice aromas of malt and caramel, slight, very slight notes of hops in the nose.
Well balanced, if not overly individualistic.

Sep 7, 2008 Pours a red, average head, normal lacing. Weak nose. Tastes of sweet molasses, caramel. Lots of classic red, but nothing that stands out. Strong hops. Average red brew.

Sep 6, 2008 Draft at Tylers. Rich auburn color with a small white head. Nearly no aroma, just a bit of booze and some malts. Roasty flavors of burnt malts, some spicy hops, and a bit of a citrus in the finish. There are some bourbon-like notes as well. Not highly carbonated, but a clean finish. Interesting stuff...tasted a bit like a light barleywine to me.

Sep 5, 2008 Bomber, original bottling. Poured bright, fiery red with a well-retained, creamy cap of yellowy-white head. The aroma picked up a hefty dose of aggressive, juicy redder fruit hoppage, pine needles, alcohol, and notes of oxidation.. just kick you in the head, but I kinda liked it. The flavor opened with tangy grapefruit amplified by a large boozy presence.. followed closely by spicy pear and apricot notes.. grainy fruits, caramel, and more fiery alcohol rode out the long finish.. aggressive and engaging. Medium-plus bodied, spicy, and warm on the palate.. not intricate by any means, but it kept me interested.

Sep 3, 2008 Pours out a darker copper color with a nice off white head. aroma was malty, sweet and full of hops. flavor was sort of sweet with a nice balance of malt to the mix. finish was fairly hoppy and lasting. This was a rather good beer and something i would enjoy again.
