Bottle pours hazy dark orange with a thin white head. Aroma is grainy, wheat, crackers. Flavor is watery, thin wheat, some thin peach notes. Eh.....

Pretty much what you’d expect from a wheat beer. Lots of peach aroma with wheat and sweetness. Pours an amber orange with a head that quickly dissipates. Taste is peach, wheat and pretty sweet. The finish is a lingering sweetness that begins to become slightly unpleasant after a bit. Overall, it’s not bad but not super great either. A brew I’d say is best in small portions.

DuffMan (5192) - the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, CANADA - APR 1, 2013
Bottle, shared with my wife. Deep amber with an average white head that fades quickly. Sticky sweetness with an estery yeast quality and a mild candyish peach note toward the finish. This comes across as a heartier almost Belgian-esque fruit beer with its higher ABV, its stickier palate, and it’s light yeast character. But it was still a bit much to finish a bottle this size, even between the two of us.

Ratman197 (7618) - Arvada, Colorado, USA - FEB 20, 2013
Bomber poured a hazy orange amber with a small lasting amber head. Aromas of peach, straw, wheat and light honey. Palate was light bodied and crisp. Flavors of wheat, artificial peach and light straw with a crisp lingering artificial peach finish.

thegreenrooster (2806) - St.louis, Missouri, USA - FEB 9, 2013
Pour is a hazy amber with a large white head. Aroma is just a sticky sweetness. No detectable peach. Flavor is peach at first then comes more sweetness. Not real good but these wheat beers with some artificail fruit flavor rarely are. It was cheap.

TheRealMGD (540) - Lakewood, Washington, USA - JAN 25, 2013
Bomber from TW. Clear orange pour with a brief white head leaving no lace. Nose is sweet and peachy. Medium body with light carbonation. Peaches, canned fruit syrup, no hop aromas to speak of. Too sweet, not a fan.

the smell is good but artificial, taste also has a slightly peach flavor that is sorta artificial, beer also looks a bit cloudy

22 oz bomber pours a hazy dark orange with no head. Dusty peach aroma mostly. A little sweeter than expected. Peach dominates way more than the description would dictate. Tastes a bit artificial, but still drinkable. Lively carbonation. Only $3 so the price is right.

Ernest (5623) - Boulder, Colorado, USA - DEC 14, 2012
Bottle. Head is initially average sized, frothy, off-white, mostly diminishing. Body is medium amber. Aroma is lightly malty (caramel), with a strong note of artificial peach/apricot candy, other note of women’s perfume and plastic. Flavor is heavily sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly to moderately bitter, unclean. Medium to full body, syrupy texture, lively/soft carbonation, lightly to moderately alcoholic. Good for a laugh, that’s about it. Horrible artificial/candy aroma, disgustingly sweet, and a profoundly dirty/plastic-like aftertaste. Hey, at least it’s only $3/bomber, though, right? Even that’s vastly overpriced, though.

Slightly hazed orange pour with creamy white head. Flat fruity aroma and sweet light wheatiness. Flat peach and wheat flavor with a hinto sweet malt. Medium bodied with good caronation.
