2.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Draft sample at Whole Foods Fairfax, VA on 10/20/10. Pours an amber color with a medium creamy head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of big buttery notes and a bit of caramel. The taste is bitter hops, toasted malts, caramel, butter and a spicy finish. Medium bodied. Odd beer and quite the butter bomb.

tasted on my birthday, strong malty nose, bready, with a good dose of nobel hops, saaz? hallertau? really spicy on the nose like oregano. tastes similar. I would pair this with pizza. It would be a really nice pizza beer. Interesting.

Pours out a coppery ruby color with a thick ivory rocky head. Smelled like a typical lager plus toast, very light toffee, and grassy hops. Taste was almost exactly the same as smell. Interesting. Potentially the most unique beer I have had thus far. However, not my cup of tea. Balanced, but with a funny tasting hop profile. Not sure how to pin this one down.

Bomber pours brilliant clear copper with soothing short lived tan head. The aroma tosses up soft rounded notes of floral hops, mild spicy hops and a touch of sweetness. The taste is smooth and easy drinkin’ with soft yet fairly bold floral hops and then picking up pulses of spicy hops with a supporting note or two of sweet maltiness. Smooth hoppy and slightly lagery brew. Well done.

Ever sip seem to have a different hop characteristic. Grass, floral, herbal, and a nice peppery spice. Nice sweet malt flavor, with a touch of corn and vegetables. Flavors fit the description of the "style".

Bottle at coffee district. I can’t say that was really impressed with this beer but it did hold a few good qualities. The carbonation was right in the pocket, a lot of the flavors, though being somewhat bland in my opinion, were dancing frantically on my tounge from the first sip to the last. The flavors were a mix of wheat and bitter hops. An enjoyable beer but nothing to write home about.
