Huge citrus and pine explosion into the nose. Flavor is orange, fruity esters, caramel, pepper, and toasted malt. Finishes long, dry and peppery. Nice warm and chewy mouthfeel. barleyPops (1081), Quad-Cities, Illinois, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 16, 2007 bomber courtesy of Saarlander, thanks Aaron. my second bottle of this yummy treat, the first was before the two Yulesmiths were separated. I wish I could rate the appearance even higher, one of the most amazingly fluffly, rocky heads I’ve ever seen. flavor is malty with a bit of spice and plenty of hops to add balance to a strong brew with well hidden alcohol. well done Prostman (1077), Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 20/20 | Mar 3, 2004 This poured a darker red color almost like Celebration Ale. Little head was present and aroma filled the room with hops. The taste was very hoppy, yet balanced, with a nice clean finish that makes this beer stand out as one of the better IPA's on the market. chicagodri (1074), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Mar 28, 2008 Was able to pick up a bomber from AleSmith when I was out there. Pours a reddish brown body. Nice sweet caramel and malty flavor. Nice balance and has some spicy hop notes of pine and grapefruit. AleSmith has such good stuff. elihapa (1069), Honolulu, California, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Oct 18, 2008 Bomber, from Charles Street Liquors in Boston. Pours a murky apricot with a large off-white head. Aroma is heavy on flowers, tangerine and malt; intense and absolutely seductive. Palate is smooth and creamy, and Yulesmith is a superb balance of malt with hoppy fruitiness. There is butter, caramel, malt, citrus, yuzu, and pine. A bold blend indeed, and potent. Finishes dry, with some booziness and bittering hops. Commendable beer, but I would like a bit more crispness of flavor in my APA/DIPAs. Overall, I’d say this falls behind Arrogant Bastard, but otherwise tops in the style. rustychiles (1068), Mesa, Arizona, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | 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! desurfer (1068), Pinellas Park, Florida, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | May 6, 2008 Clear orange body. Aroma of piney hops, almost Christmas tree-like. Flavor is full of more pine and citrus hoppiness and an assertive alcohol character. Biting carbonation. Very nice! M0RHI (1067), Luxembourg, Luxembourg
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Mar 31, 2008 Bottle at Magic_dave6’s disco dance tasting. Cloudy red with a thick beige head. Nose is hazy with some barrel wood. Hoppy. Mouth is warm, slightly acetic, some grass in there. Good, but not defineable in quality.
