Feb 17, 2008 Bottle - pours a lightly hazy dark copper/deep red with a massive off white creamy head that lasts through out the glass. Big hoppy nose of mango, citrus and pine...west coast style to a T. Flavor is a lovely combination of caramel/toffee malty notes with that tropical fruit and light pine hop flavor and light alcohol in the fairly viscous finish. The massive nose leads to expect huge bitterness up front but the focus is more on the hop flavors.

Feb 16, 2008 Updated: Mar 15, 2008pours red with a large head that retains. aroma is hoppy. flavor isn’t directed but has hoppiness/maltiness to it. The palate is good but overall I would probably go for a different beer in the future.

Feb 15, 2008 22 oz bomber all to my self
Clear copper pour with a thick billowy off white head. Aroma is citrus ,vanilla, butterscotch,piney hops The taste is big malt subdued by intense hoppiness ,perfumey in the swallow and the hops build in the back of your throat.Very thick mouthfeel definitely chewable, a little overcarbonated but a very enjoyable beer but I would say for hop lovers only!

Feb 15, 2008 Bomber. Pours a reddish brown with a nice foamy head. Aroma of citrus, malt, pine, and hops. The flavor of malt and hops in this one is perfectly balanced. Delicious!

Feb 12, 2008 Bomber, and a bit of a gusher. We were suspicious of infection, but there seems to be little to complain about. Pours clear amber, with a creamy white head. Citrus, pine, caramel nose. The taste matches the nose pretty closely, maybe a little pepper on the exit?

Feb 11, 2008 22 oz bottle, multiple times over a couple years. Overall, the experience I’ve had with this brew has been a good one. Tons of sweet malts back up a strong hoppy presence of a beer. Lots of fruity characteristics flush the malts. Caramel flavors, as well as the usual resiny and piny notes help make this one. Overall, I’ve had AMAZING fresh and aged bottles of this, but I’ve also had somewhat poor fresh and aged bottles...so it just depends! If you find a good one - you’ll be stoked!
