3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bomber pours clear deep gold with weak off white head. The aroma has some sweet hard candy citrus notes along with some mild spicy hops. Overall the aroma is on the mild side. The taste is similar with muted or blunted citrus hop notes that seem like sweet hard candy. Those notes are followed by mild spicy hops and some earthy hops. Underneath everything are snippets of acidic citrus and sugary malts that are at odds with each other. Decent brew.

Bomber from Hayduke. We had it together via facebook chat. It could be a tea from the pour but with an off white head. A nice fruity nose is also a bit bready. The flavor is almost exactly the same. Just a dab of hops are tasted. It is smooth in the mouth. Nothing to dislike here.

On tap at the brewpub. Golden color with a creamy white head. The aroma is nicely hoppy with herbal tea leaves, citrus and tropical fruit. The flavor is watery with hints of butter, toffee and tropical fruit. Some vegetables and hints of chemical in the finish. Disappointing after a promising aroma.

Clear gold/copper, thin beige head. Aroma of toffee, fruit, floral hop, wet leaf, some odd plastic-like aroma. Taste is sweet with a mild bitterness. Medium body, medium soft carbonation.

I really enjoyed this English style bitter ale. Had a great amber colour with lots of caramel in the aroma. A smooth and a little creamy mouthfeel makes for a very drinkable and enjoyable beer.

Draught at Hashigo Zake (Wellington, New Zealand). The classification here as a "Pale Ale" seems more apt than "ESB". Quite pale and the malt character was reasonably subdued. Not much to say, was just a little meh...
