Wells Bombardier (Pasteurised)

Brewed by Wells & Youngs
Style: Premium Bitter/ESB
Bedford, England

Poured a clear copper/amber color with a tall foamy tan head. The head was very slow to go down and left good lacing throughout the glass. The beer looked very nice in the glass. There was a nice earthy malty aroma with a subtle bit of hops to. The taste was on the dry side and nicely crisp. There was a little bit of a hop bite, but overall generally mild. A good drinking beer clean, crisp and refreshing

mmmmh!!! the best armony between hop and malt. The taste is great, i love the bottle , This UK beer has all the English look. In nouse is very sweet good cereal aroma, in mouth very refresh, stong and bitter final. The look is amazing excelent head, excelentcaoba color!

I am the Bombardier. Yossarian, this is a solid beer that tastes like the changing of the guard. I had this right after the Hen’s Tooth. I was practically singing God Save the Queen! Great balance, good brew. Tasted like a bitter, or an ale with a little bit more. I enjoyed it.

Pours a vey nice looking aged brass color. head is medium hight made of bigger bubbles. Nose is fairly weak, a bit sweat, malty and a bit of bread/yeast. Taste was very watery for to me, very thin. clean, yeasty with lots of sweat maltiness. finishes clean and thin.

I’m actually suprised to find that I haven’t rated this one yet. I’ve had it several times actually, and while it really depends on how old the bottle is and how well it was handled, it’s usually a pretty enjoyable drink. The beer pours out a dark amber color, with a lean to the reddish side of the spectrum. Head was off-white, 3-finger thick and creamy but it quickly reduced to nothing more than a thin film. Aroma is mostly malt forward, but some fruitiness comes crashing in after awihle. After it warmed up a bit some light tobacco notes come calling, which I enjoyed. But sometimes I get those notes, and others I don’t so I wonder if that’s due to age? Mouthfeel is a tad bit watery. Flavors of toasted bread, malts, and dried plums. There was a odd "dusty" quality about the flavor that I also picked up that I hadn’t noticed before, so I thought I’d include that with the review. A nice session beer.

16oz can poured into a Sam Adams special glass. WB pours surprisingly dark with a large rocky head that leaves a lot of lacing. The aroma is mostly malt and lacks a distinctive hoppy character. The flavor is mild and robust. The hop bill is impressive but it doesn’t come through strong or overwelming. This is a well-balanced beer with a dry quick finish.

bottle from matt7125: pours a gorgous caramel orange brown colour big foamy off white head. aroma is caramel adn bready slight butteryscotch aroma. small amount of fruity floraness (the best way i can discribe it) flavour is a good bitter and dry bread flavour that i really enjoy. some carmel and grain flavour. i really enjoy this style wish i could get more.

From tap at Ørsted Ølbar. Pours golden orange/brown with a dense light yellowish head. Caramel malt, light butterish and mild spiced aroma. Flavour is light fruity mixed with caramel malt. Dry bitterness rising out of the malt and giving a dry bitter finish. Smooth flavour and mouthfeel, almost creamy.
