4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
02.15.13 Bomber from Nugget Market in Northern Davis, CA. Tough for me to get. Most stores near me only got 5 cases, and I finally found the last 3 bottles in one of them. But they’d only sell me two. Pours light amber gold with a creamy white head that laced a bit. Aroma is a sort of floral muted cat piss - which I take to be citrus. Med + body. Creamy/foamy carb. Flavor is definitely floral and citrus, over some rather low roast malt. Malt is always their for support, but this is lightly astringent and mouthwateringly hoppy and bitter. Probably a bit smoother than P the E. Maybe inappropriate to compare. But it finishes absolutely hoppy and delicious.

Bottle. Poured a clear copper color with a large frothy off-white head that lasted with excellent lacing. Moderate to heavy complex citrus and earthy hop aroma. Medium to full body with a slick texture and soft carbonation. Medium to heavy bitter flavor with a medium to heavy bitter finish of moderate to long duration. This is a standout beer.

Bottle (12.21.12)... Clear golden ale with a small, fizzy, white head. Musky, dank hops are the aromatic highlights. Medium-bodied and lightly creamy with soft carbonation. The flavor falls on the bitter side of balance, but there are some nice malts here as well. Dank, bitter, dry finish. Bottle courtesy of landhoney!
