Pint bottle. A golden beer with a thin whitish head. Fresh citric hop aroma. Quite a bland sense of a malt taste with marginal hop flavours accompanying it. Thin and uninspiring; my least favourite Bombardier.

Aug 31, 2008 A Mes rate: bottle at Chris O’s Post GBBF Tasting.
Dirty golden brown with a thin white head. The fuggles and goldings are fairly clear as are some none too pleasant earthy notes. Pretty rough and minus points for a clear bottle.

Aug 13, 2008 [1553-20080730] 500mL bottle. Grainy malt aroma has some plastic notes. Slightly hazy, medium orange brown body with a long-lasting creamy off-white head. Grainy metallic malt flavour. Medium body has a bit of kick. "Inert" but fair.

Aug 12, 2008 500 ml bottle from LCBO, served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass.
App.: Clear deep golden, fair white head.
Aroma: Fruity malts – apples as usual!, light tree fruits, slightly funky earthiness, not much else...
Palate: Medium-ish body, soft carbonation.
Flav.: Some of the light fruity malts, a bit of earthy, leafy hops; dry with only a hint of bitterness, nothing much on the finish.
Wells Smoldering Brass. BORING.
