Bomber pours a murky burnt orange amber with fair offwhite head. Sweet nose with hints of vanilla. Flavor is well balanced with a nice herbal hop bitterness. Though, the hops seem a bit on the old side. Creamy mouthfeel with fair carbonation. But as with all Rogue, overpriced.

Beer 5 of beer tasting. Pours light orange with low carbonation. Aroma of caramel malt and light esters. Flavor is sweet initially, then descends into soft fruit, citrus and malt. Finishes with a herbal-hop-bitter touch. Soft, drinkable, and well balanced.

Floral, earth, and citrus aroma notes. Golden-Amber with thick, lasting white head. Citrus (orange), caramel, and biscuit flavours. Medium bitterness and quite sessionable.

Crushed with Jakebra. Bitter hops. Oh yeah, this is a good bitter. A excellent bitter actually, only compared to their brutal one, it’s a pussy. Still good.

Had on tap at Fat Head’s in Pittsburgh under the moniker ’’Fat Head’s Ale’’. Pours copper color with a thick white head. Smells hoppy with slight maltiness. Tastes slightly hoppy with a caramel and malty accents. Perfect amount of carbonation. Easily my favorite bitter.

Pours a nice thick sudsy head with an tan color. The color is a cloudy orang amber and the nose is nice and floral. Initially it has a nice bitter flavor mixed with caramel malt and some mild spice. It is also nice and earthy on the palate. The finish is very weak and could use more bitterness since it is a bitter, also the carbonation is on the low side.
