3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20Bomber bottle served in my Hoegaarden Tumbler: Pours a hazy coppery golden hue with a okay frothy head and some spotty lace. The aroma has notes of lemon, pear and grapefruit along with herbal, piney and grassy hop vapours. Some wheat and bready pale malt notes along with a dash of peppery spice, a hint of bubblegum too. The taste is moderately fruity, a bit husky and toasty and display a even handed bitterness. I was not sure what to expect from this, perhaps a Gumballhead type brew or perhaps a hopped up witbier. Well it is not either. More akin to a Wheat IPA methinks. The mouth feel is lively enough, proper carbonation and a bit dry, dusty, and even tannic on the finish. Got just a touch of alcohol heat, not an issue. Overall, I would drink this again but I would say it is not as refreshing as I hoped. The elevated alcohol and husky finish is the reason for that.

Bomber from Rogers Park Liquors, drank during the Oscars! Clear golden pour with a froth of white foam. Aroma is light bitter hops, honey-like sweetness, and a clean malt backbone. Taste is clean hop bitterness, honey sweetness, and wheat. Clean mouthfeel. Drinks more like an american pale ale than a wheat beer but it’s plenty tasty.

Bottle shared by a friend. This brew pours a hazy orange-gold color with a medium fluffy white head that evaporates steadily to an outer ring. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of wheat, herbal hops and malt. Medium body with a citrusy wheat character and flavors of grassy hops and biscuit malt. The finish is fruity with a short banana aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.

From notes. Pours hazy amber with big notes of hops and citrus. These notes continue with the bitterness that seems over drawn. Finishing notes show limited complexity.

Is this a Wheat-PA? Very hop forward to begin but then it just drops off in a flat nature. It looks hazy and smells of hay and bitter citrus hops. Overall unbalanced and confused
