Dec 11, 2008 Big thanks to sebletitje for bringing this along. Pours deep gold with thin off white head. The aroma is moderate with some grapefruit, malts, grains and a touch of hay. The taste starts with a nice full mouth feel ushering in solid malty sweetness and tart grapefruit hops. These fresh tasty notes carry through to the finish where grainy malts show up to go along with persistent grapefruit hop bitterness. Very nice.

Pours golden with white head.
Aroma hoppy and a very sweet sugary nose.
Taste, hoppy but with a nice sweetness. Caramel malts, yeasty -dough- with a thick grainy palate. Reminded me a lot of a good Belgian strong ale.
Well balanced, did not get too much of the bitterness of the hops.
A really fine and enjoyable beer.

Dec 9, 2008 10%. nose is the first impression, and despite the name i am presented with sticky malt. chewy mouthfeel, this is a big beer. very well balanced, hops become evident as the beer wears on. suprising light color considering the potent contents. even though its huge in every way, it comes across with a light and citric finish. i am a fan of this style, but that finish really puts it in a league of its own. not bad at all.

Dec 7, 2008 Bomber. Hazy light amber supporting a tall rocky white head. Spicy aroma with hints of citrus and cut grass. More citrus in the flavor along with tart apple and a touch of caramel. Nice balance of malt and hops. Silky texture and a dry snappy finish.

Nov 30, 2008 bottle - note: the bottle indicates an abv of 10%. Pours copper and mostly clear with a thin white head. It smells of caramel malt and fruity hops. The flavor is definitely on the hop side and tastes more bitter than the 33 IBUs listed on the bottle. It’s a good bitter. The bready, caramel accented malt is on the light side and could maybe be a little stronger for balance. The alcohol is mainly noticeable in the finish. Overall it’s a good, flavorful brew.

Nov 30, 2008 22 fl oz bottle. Pours hazy orange with a diminished white head. Aroma is mild spiced and dry wheaty with a light acidic note. Sweet caramel malty with a slowly arrising bitterness. Quite hoppy and nicely bittered to the wheaty base flavour. Mild fruity and quite dry into the far finish.

Nov 29, 2008 Bomber purchased at Wegman’s in Johnson City, NY. Pours hazy gold, thin white head. Aroma is hoppy (kiwi, citrus) with faint caramel/vanilla. Flavor is citrus hoppy with some honey dough. Not quite graham cracker sweet, but definitely sweet. Not terribly complex.
