Commercial Description:
This is an aggressive beer. You probably won’t like it. It is quite doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication to appreciate an ale of this quality and depth.

A staple for me when I can afford it, this brew is hoppy, astringent and fairly strong. Very tasty! Nice that they brew it all year long.

Bomber. Glad this is available in FL now. Pours deep amber color, with an off white head. Very floral smell. Big and hoppy. Has the nice citrusy and evergreen flavor. Definitely some caramel sweetness in there too. Really good...in fact..I Was worthy

Pours a rich chestnut amber color with a creamy off-white head. Rich aroma of citrus and floral hops, nicely balanced. Taste is hoppy and fruity, with hints of grapes balanced with caramel hops, and a bitter finish which reminds me of a grapefruit. Very strong lacing. Overall, a robust beer that feels like a cross between an IPA and an amber lager.

This beer is available on tap at several places near me. So, I drink a good bit of it. Copper with a large head. Taste of malt, hopes, and bitters. Some alcohol taste as well. Very pleasant aftertaste. Recommended.

Poured a red color with light lacing. Mild taste of hops, but with bitter malts. Couldnt taste the alcohol, but rather enjoyed the aftertaste which was nutty with a little citris.

Bottle. The Rover, Gothenburg. Surprisingly red colour with a small off-white head. Aroma: complex, sweet, dark. Flavor: Hops, sweet and toasted malt, fruits, alcohol, caramel. Maybe a bit too much alcohol in the taste.
