aaaaaaaaaah (61), Warren, Michigan, USA Feb 11, 2009 $5.49/pint. Average frothy off white head with good lacing. Medium to dark amber hue. Aroma of apples caramel and grain. Taste not impressed with. Malty grainy flavor finishing slightly bitter. Not good beer not bad beer... Skyview (4007), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA Jan 25, 2009 Purchased single 22-oz bomber from Liquid Solutions.biz. Pours a clear copper amber brew with a thick off-white head that quickly dissipates to a thin ring. Aroma of dry multi-grain malt, some caraway, citrus zest and a hint of licorice. Taste is medium bodied, with flavors of dry malt, licorice, some caraway seeds, a hint of floral hops and some citrus. Finish continues a semi-dry aftertaste with some green vegetable and caraway flavors. Ughsmash (3978), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA Jan 23, 2009 Bomber. Poured clear caramelly-amber with a short (but easily-resuscitated cap) of beige head. The aroma picked up a heavy component of caraway seeds and rye over a caramel and toffee base.. sweeter overall and very enjoyable! The flavor had a similar caramelly base that also picked up some darker fruit.. darker spices and lots of caraway on the edges along with a touch of sourness.. warm and more complex at the finish. Medium-bodied with low carbonation on the palate.. toward the sweet side.. very enjoyable. cbkschubert (1945), Cochise Co., Arizona, USA Jan 19, 2009 22 oz. bottle from BevMo (East Tucson) - Pours a clear deep copper color with a 3/4 finger thick light tan head. Light tiny spotted lacing. Flavor is mostly caramel malt with a touch of herbal hops. Has a fresh bread dough aroma. I don’t thick I’ve come across an aroma like that in a beer before. Odd. Has a slight cloying aftertaste. Medium body. Worth a try. edmajorjoe (79), Vail, Arizona, USA Jan 18, 2009 Reunion ’08 looks great but tastes opposite of what it appears to be. There is not distinct smell and the taste and palate are below my tasting standards. highibus (421), Mill Creek, Washington, USA Jan 18, 2009 Pours a nice ruby red with lasting cream top. Aroma of sugar and sweet malt along with some rye and hops. Flavor is seemingly off. Very bready in a bad way. I think something might be wrong with this. No real rye flavor. Silphium (2114), Haslett, Michigan, USA Jan 5, 2009 Slightly hazy orange-brown body, coppery, thin to medium buff head. Spicy, citrusy, herbal nose with toast and light berry-like sweetness. Caramely and bready. Hints of licorice. Medicinal body, herbal and earthy, with brown sugar, caramel, and toast malt notes. Subtle rye. Too much like sugar water with hops for my tastes. BBB63 (4198), La Porte, Indiana, USA Dec 27, 2008 2008 YeHA: Bronze hue with a small head. The aroma has notes of caramel, caraway seed, rye, roasted malt and a hint of peat. The taste is sweet and malty with a bit of honey like twang. Rye and spice upon the finish. The mouth feel is soft and dry. Starts good but ends up flabby and uninspired.
