abcfan (154), USA May 14, 2008 This one didn’t impress me much. The hops and malts flavor was ok, but they seemed to fight each other rather than blend together. Aroma was nice and fruity and it looked great in the glass, but the taste was very average.
ratman197 (2260), Arvada, Colorado, USA Aug 25, 2008 Bomber poured a clear dark amber with a small lasting amber head. Aromas of carmel, earthiness, light pine and light orange zest. Palate was full bodied and smooth with a lightly dry finish. Flavors of carmel, earthiness, pine, light orange zest and a hint of grapefruit with a smooth lingering earthy bitter finish.
A nice malty well balanced DIPA! Ibrew2or3 (1685), Safety Harbor, Florida, USA Aug 24, 2008 Courtesy of tpd975. Pours crystal clear amber with copper edges and tan head. The aroma is malty and brash with caramel, sweet chewy sticky malts, crystal malts, pine hops and a hint of fruity esters. Man, this smells good. A very satisfying group of aromatics. The tasty bold flavor starts with a sweet rich load of dark fruity esters of dark grapes, prunes and plums. Then a thick blanket of both chewy sweet maltiness and roasted malts enters and rides along for a while. Bringing the flavor full circle is a solid pine hop bitterness. Good god this is tasty. I can drink this all the time. fishingnet (803), Brandon, Florida, USA Aug 17, 2008 Bottle courtesy of tpd975. Pours a clear deep amber with a one finger off-white head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of sweet malt and caramel with spicy floral hops and a touch of alcohol. TAste is the same as aroma. Medium mouthfeel with a moderate amount of bitterness and smooth alcohol. Very good. DandyWolfFloyd (225), Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 27, 2008 Aroma, just jumps from the glass. It’s well full of hops, with a bouquet of different hops, some grapefruit, and some pine. It’s appearance is dark copper, with a white head. It’s flavor is extremely well-balanced. It’s bursting with hops, but well-balanced and lending well to it’s malt content. It’s easy to drink, not to astringent, or to aggressive. Easily 2-3 in the bag for me. checkmatei1 (244), Willow Grove, USA Jul 15, 2008 Bottle: Poured an amber color with a white head. The aroma was that of hops, strong hops. The flavor was piney, hoppy and spicy. Overall, a decent beer.
