3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 Koskela (129) - Marysville, California, USA - JUN 24, 2012
A yeasty buttery smell and a slight aroma of hops. Wierd for a lager but it does have a lager smell as well. Has a blonde hazy color with a decent head. Very light bodied slight yeast after taste. A sharp bitter taste but not overwhelming. That buttery smell comes thru in the mouthfeel towards the end of the taste. Leaves with a thick feeling for a moment. The caramel malts show thru for a moment slightly. Overall not a bad brew it is like an ipa but it is a lager. You ban feel the alcohol in the back of ur throat. Worth a buy

Bomber. Clear yellow pour, with a white head. Sharp lemon citrus, some sweet apricot, musty earth, and a little buttery. Not very good, must be past its prime.

22oz bottle. Rating #7. Nice glowing yellow/gold pour with a nice white head. I’m picking up hops and a little butter in the aroma. Flavor is similar unfortunately, something happened and it’s not good. (2237)
3.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 bhensonb (8981) - Woodland, California, USA - APR 15, 2012
Bomber from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours amber gold with a 3 finger creamy/bubbly white head. Aroma is bready with something like noble hop. For me just now the hop aroma is not strong. Med body. Flavor is bready, fruity, and somewhat citrus. Very nice, but not the cat pee I’d hoped for (see rating below). It’s very refreshing. But I’m getting more apricot than citrus. Very good drink.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 peteinSD (957) - San Diego, California, USA - MAR 24, 2012
Sample at brewery. Clear medium yellow pour with a slick of white foam. Aroma is faded hops and light sweet malt with perhaps some trailing citrus. Taste is light hops with some bitterness and a slightly medicinal twinge over some sweet malt. Smooth mouthfeel. Okay but well past its prime.
1 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 3/20 deekyn (535) - Yosemite, California, USA - DEC 23, 2011
UPDATED: DEC 26, 2011 A - golden amber super clear pour with 1finger white head
S - aromas of hops, musty barnyard hops, light notes of peaches. Unfortunately this beer has a pervasive odor of cat urine. As a long time cat owner this smell is unmistakable. And impossible to over look.
M - robust body with little carbonation. Average palette.
T - wet burlap fresh hops, musty earthy tones on the nose, slightly sweet peaches, musty lager ending. Tastes are good for a lager, unfortunately the cat urine smell in every sip.
O - could have been an interesting lager with nice earthy musty nose and a lightly sweet peach to balance, but not of my friends could get past the cat pee.
