From 22 ounce bottle. Light copper color with a hoppy bitterness and an almost dark tea hint in the flavor.

Bomber. Light citrus balanced with caramel in the background. Crisp finish with mild bitterness.

22. Pours a murky burnished medium amber with a dense and creamy, though short-lived, whitish head. Spotty lace. Mild caramel and grapefruit nose. Creamy medium body with soft carb. Toast, caramel, grapefruit mid-palate...this is fairly standard stuff for an APA. We’ve had this beer before, but it’s done with no obvious flaws. Appealing oiliness to the finish, nice crisp grapefruity wash on the end.

Tap. Pours orange with a slight haze, finger head. Smell is orange peel, ginger, and hops. Taste is smooth and dirty, with a caramel finish. Decent beer.

650ml bomber purchased at Belmont Station in Portland, OR pours a pale amber color with a finger of white head that leaves some decent lacing. Aroma is caramel and cereal grains with some citrus and floral notes. Taste is light citric hop bitterness over a solid malty sweet backbone. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. A nicely done American classic pale ale that is quite tasty.

Bomber from PC Market of Choice in Ashland. Pours light copper with a creamy/bubbly white head. Smells a bit of light pitted fruit. Approaching med body. Flavor seems to have significant diacetyl. But there’s various fruit and mildly roasted malt to sort of cover for that. Barring the one problem it’s pretty refreshing. Rerate: With time the diacetyl thing sort of diminished. So I’m adding a point.

22oz bottle from Ray’s in Sisters - Pours golden-orange. A bit skunky smelling. Tastes much better than it smells. I’ll have another, please.

Bomber served in an English pint. Pours clear honey orange with a short off-white head. Good retention and good sticky lacing. Mild floral and fruit aroma. Light-medium bitter flavor. Medium body, thick-creamy texture, soft carbonation, and a mellow malty-bitter finish. Very sessionable.

Bottle from Market of Choice. Pours amber with a white head and sporadic lacing. Smells of floral hops and caramel malt, tastes of much the same. Fairly thin bodied and a little musty tasting.

22oz Bomber – The Bier Shoppe – Eugene, OR
Golden clear in color. Nice light aroma with a good balance of hops and malts. A great hot day mowing the lawn beer. Crisp finish with a dry mouthfeel.
