May 26, 2006 12 oz single.
Nice looking ale here. Dark golden, hazy with a large rocky/creamy off white head.
Good hoppy aroma but balanced with maltiness.
smooth well balanced flavour to this one its hard to really untangle the spicy hop from the toffeeish/caramel style malts they sort of intertwine each others like two rather slippery snakes. in the end the hops do peek out and leave a nice long lasting bitter afterglow.
Nice mouthfeel well done.
Quite a nice beer and very drinkable..well balanced indeed

May 24, 2006 Bomber. What a friggin pour on this beer. I don’t really know what the difference between a 4 and 5 on appearance but I’m guessin this is what it looks like. Hazy golden/amber body with a good amount of tiny bubbles. HUGE, about 3 inch rocky, creamy, biege head. Not the best aroma. Metal with some floral and caramel scents. Nice caramel and hoppy flavor. Not an overpowering bitterness taste, just right. Sweet, warm finish. Different from other bitters I’ve tried but very tasty.

Apr 21, 2006 Heavey earthy, sweet, bitter hops. Orange hazy body, with a generous silky head. Wasn’t quite in the mood for an ESB at the time so I will rate this one again at another time.

Apr 13, 2006 Bomber poured a hazy copper with a small lasting off white head. Aromas of carmel, earthy hops, pine and some grassy notes. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of cereal, carmel, hints of citrus and some earthiness with a smooth bittersweet finish.

Mar 27, 2006 12 oz Bottle: A good looking beer. Pours a nice orange-golden-copper-brown color with a nice hazy lacing below a nice off white tan head. Looks great. Smells lemony pine with some grass and hoppy atomas as well. The flavor is suprisingly strong and doesn’t have a lot of the same characteristics as the aroma. Rather bitter and sour. Pretty bold overall and a bitter finish.
