UPDATED: MAR 23, 2021 [Uploaded from backlog - tasted sometime in early 2018...] On tap at Dutch's, and before then on tap at Jungle Jim's. Big grapefruit hop. Mild toasty caramel. Very hoppy, very satisfying.

UPDATED: JUL 2, 2019 Clear copper pour. Aroma is pine resin. Taste is pine, hops and a touch of caramel. Finishes bitter. Good.

Verre, 4 onces, bouteille, Mondial de la bière, savourée le 7 juin 2018; œil : caramel, trouble, pas d’effervescence, minuscule anneau de mousse fauve, légère dentelle; nez : houblon, madère, léger sueur, léger caramel; bouche : houblon, madère, léger sueur, léger caramel, finale en houblon amérisant avec bonne présence de caramel, corsée, bonne carbonatation, curieusement amère, moyennement sucrée, texture légèrement râpeuse; en résumé : correct

Bottle (1 pint 6 oz). Pours golden amber with off-white and lacing. Earthy pine and grapefruit aroma. Biscuity malt with earthy pine followed by watermelon and a bit of apricot. Medium-full body. Long, dry finish.

UPDATED: JAN 25, 2019 Refrigerated brown bomber from shrubber85 poured into a glass. Clear copper with medium off-white head. Aroma is pine hops, medium body, medium carbonation, and pretty good small-bubble lacing. Taste is caramel malt, pine hops, pine resin, and bitter finish. True to the style, but something I enjoy.

UPDATED: DEC 2, 2018 A really dialed in hoppy amber. Aromas are fresh mild resin hops and a little toffee malt. Flavors are like nose, fairly balanced with an easy lingering bitter finish. Very nice beer.

Bomber pours a slighty hazy medium amber with lasting off-white head. Aroma is full of citrus and floral hops with some bready malts. Taste is bitter with a long fruity and resinous but dry finish - similar to many other Three Floyds pale ales. Body is medium with average carbonation and a sticky mouthfeel. I asked myself "what was THAT?" after each sip. I have become so used to mediocre amber ales that I feared this would be one of the lesser offerings from Three Floyds. My expectations were exceeded with another winner from this brewery.

Bottle: Semi-cloudy with a light tan head. All hops in the aroma. Green hops in the flavor with some hairspray on finish. This is definitely an IPA. I see why Amber is smash faced.
