22OZ Bomber:
Pours a golden straw color with a murkiness to it.Smells of grassy hops, and a floral kick.Flavor is sweet with a peppery backbone. Palate was the best IMO it seems the more I have Southern Tier offerings the more I think that they no to make beer that has a great palate to it.Overall aghhh

Oct 7, 2008 Bomber poured a clear golden yellow with a small lingering white head. Aromas of wheat, earthiness, citrus and a hint of pine. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of wheat, straw, orange zest and light grapefruit with a smooth ligfhtly dry lingering bitter finish.

Oct 4, 2008 Bottle. Amber beer with a thin off-white head. Great resiny, grapefruit aroma. Grapefruit, pine, caramel flavor. Body doesn’t keep up with the flavor - just a little too light. Resin and grapefruit linger with a bit of caramel. A bit of grass starts to show up in the background.

Oct 3, 2008 Pours a clear gold in color with a huge pillowy, carbonated white head sitting atop. Smell is piney and grassy hops. Very good amount of piney hops in the nose. Taste is more of the flavorful hops. Not overly bitter or tongue thrashing. More of the flavorful type. I would prefer if this beer was a bit more of a brute. Without the aspect, this is a very drinkable, smooth beer. Almost too drinkable, especially since the bottle notes the 10% ABV.

Sep 28, 2008 22oz bottle courtesy of Swolf3, thank you Steven. Nice dark yellow/gold color, white head. Nice hop aroma, grassy and a little piney, very subdued. Bitter hopiness in the flavor, not too bad.

Sep 28, 2008 Updated: Sep 29, 200822 oz bottle from Laraway Liquors (New Lenox, IL) shared with a friend. An interesting brew, indeed. Pours a medium goldish hue, lighter than expected, with a decent white head that sustains. Aromas are hoppy, citrus and other fruits that are balanced with a delicate sweetness. Taste is similar, a bit muted, with a more noticeable alcohol presence. Dry finish where the hops are evident, but the pale malts kinda slip into oblivion. Loses itself on its way to its goal. Dissappointing.
