Deep garnet color with a very thin head. Hearty rye grain in the nose. Very appealing. Thin body. Flavor is classic double red with the rye bent. Hint of a soy sauce barrel. Dry, English, bitter Delicious beer.

I can’t seem to place this aroma, but it’s nice...oh yeah, it’s rye! Not real malty or hoppy but they are both there. Quite good stuff.

Pours a dark mahogany/ lite brown with a white forming head. Smell of malts and a bit of rye. Great taste of hops. Great specialy grain brew. Glad to contribute to hope in 09.

On tap at Celebrator 20th Anniv. fest. Brown, lingering head. Smooth and tasty Belgian ale with notes of sweet caramel malt, cocoa, bubblegum, cream soda, citrus, spice and significant carbonation.

Aroma is pleasantly malty and yeasty, with just a hint of spice and a touch of apple. Color is a clear medium reddish-brown or reddish-golden; head is thick, fluffy, and pale tan. Flavor is somewhat malty and somewhat hoppy, strongly but not unpleasantly bitter, very smooth with a whisper of fruit and spice.

Bomber from Enniskillen; Nose is yeasty ryebread, strong caramel, and light vanilla and clove notes; rust red with a small cinnamon tinged, beige head; flavor of light hop bitterness, caramel, and a little rye; finish is light bitterness and alcohol warmth and more rye; Bison gets no respect because it’s organic; this one is way underrated and is an excellent beer!

22oz Bomber. Really enjoyed this one . Pours a deep amber with decent sized white head. Nice caramel malt aroma & Flavor. Roasty, toasty & well balanced hop bitterness. Nice beer
