Bomber poured a clear tarnished gold with a small lasting off white head. Aromas of biscuit, earthiness and grapefruit. Palate was light bodied and crisp with a dry finish. Flavors of biscuit, citrus, watermelon and light earthiness with a crisp dry bitter lingering citrus finish.

Aroma is caramel malts and light citrus. The flavor is caramel malts, citrus, notes of tea, oily palate and a tangy finish. Interesting beer style, could have been better though.

Tap sample at Sugar Maple. Fresh and Sprecher are complete anathema. Filtered orange-tan with a respectable white head. Earthy hop tones meets Sprecher butter. Not horrendous, the hops fight to make it OK. At the end of the battle the hops fail, and the cheap off flavors win. Earthy, clean enough, but kind of gross too.

Bomber as "Hopfuzion". Poured clear, lighter orangey-golden with a short cap of eggshell head. The aroma picked up some dank citrusy hops over some very strange, unpleasant cheese-like notes.. light toasted bready malts in there too.. honey supported as it warmed up.. didn’t smell like anything I wanted to drink. The flavor found mostly honey with lesser watery bready malts at the core.. fresh grass and pine bitterness plus detergent and cheesy notes laced throughout.. long finish with an unpleasant taste. Light-medium bodied and tacky on the palate.. I’m going to avoid drinking this again.

Something a bit off/unique about it. Dark amber, good carbonation. Disappointing. Little hop, little flavor. Did not enjoy this

On draft at Sprecher’s in Lake Geneva. Pours a clear light amber color with a thin white head. Aroma is very faint, but is a light pine hop smell. Medium on the palate with average carbonation. Flavor is lightly bitter, grassy, pine hops, some cereal malt, with a light bitter finish. A bit underwhelming.

Draft at Lake Geneva pub. Pours a foggy orange with minimal head. Very little hops in the nose or initial taste. Mild / smooth go,ing down but hardly a hoppy brew. Nothing outstanding.

On tap at Sprecher Restaurant in Middleton, pours a clear amber with no head at all, the aroma has some grass notes mixed in with a little bit of hops, the flavor is of more sweet malt rather hops, really kind of bland overall, skip it.

Draft. Amber red in color. Nice lacing. Semi-fresh, spicy, cascade citrus hops in the nose. Flavor is a moderately dry citrus hop bitterness with little to no malt character. Bitterness is a bit sharp and bland. Medium body.

On tap at Sugar Maple.Amber with a thin off-white head. Aroma is floral and herbal with a bit of caramel. Taste is floral and herbal as well with pale toasted malt and not a lot else. Mild overall with mild bitterness to boot.
