Bomber from moms beer run. A smooth caramel malt and light hop pale. Slight herbal hop profile. The malt is the dominant character here. Some toasty grain but a big sticky caramel full body.

Bomber thanks to the Jarretts. Orangy amber with a off white head that disappears fairly quickly. Pleasant light and semi-sweet malt with a floral and light hops presence, orange pulp and a bit musty. Moderate carbonation and mild body, slightly bitter with some orange rind at first, then become drier and more bitter. Decent.

Bottle... Clear amber pour with a small, fizzy, white head. Good retention. The aroma is moderately malty and a touch rooty - sassafras and ginger. Medium-bodied with average carbonation. The flavor is well-balanced, providing notes of toasted barley and cream soda with a splash of black tea. The spicy hops do a good job of evening things out without stealing the show. Tongue-numbing, minerally finish.

On draft, for Session Beer Day at McGrady’s in Charlottesville. Pours a slightly cloudy dark orange with a thin head that dissipates quickly, leaving little in the way of lacing. The aroma is a soft breadiness and a full on assault of seville orange, slightly earthy and spicy hoppiness. Taste is big juicy sweet maltiness, with touches of fresh bread and a light toffee note mixed with dollops of citric hop bitterness and a long clean, and refreshing, finish. Medium bodied, very well balanced and wonderfully drinkable. More like this please.

Bottle. Dark amber with no head. Nose is grassy hops. Flavor has a tea like quality. Palate is nice and smooth. Bottle might be old. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Draft at the brewery. Pours a deep gold. Nice slight white head. Fresh, grassy aroma. Taste is very hop forward. Big bitterness. Beautiful crisp finish.

UPDATED: APR 21, 2013 Orange, peach, caramel, lemon grass, and floral aromas, with some cocoa notes. Lightly hazy orange with quickly diminishing, off-white head. Some sweetness that shines a little more than do the bitter hops, malty flavors of bread and cocoa. Light-medium body, moderate carbonation, and finish is somewhat sweet, fruity, and mildly bitter.

Bottle shared here a couple months ago. Poured a muddy honey orange body with a quick fading average sized foamy white head. Aroma was blah, notes of bad orange marmalade, old flowers, and an overly sweet aroma all around. Fizzy carbonation over a medium body with a chalky finish. Luckily the flavor is better then the aroma, notes of seltzer with flower petals, bread crusts and yeast. Blah, this one sucks.

Hazy deep golden pour light sticky lacing and white head .... aroma of caramel and toasted malts with light fruity yeast and light floral/spicy hops ... taste is bitter and of caramel malts, light spicy fruity/floral bitter hops with some toasted and biscuity malts ... finish is bitter .... a sessionable light english style pale ale
