Pours a clear reddish copper color with a medium white head. Sweet malty aroma with hints of citrus, caramel, and bread dough. Taste is light malty with hints of citrus, caramel, bread dough and nuts. Very tasty and refreshing. Another great product from Ballast Point.

Nice radiant amber color with a creamy white head. Scents of citrus, pine and notes of honey. Not overbearing and just pleasant enough fits this aroma profile. Balanced flavor of hops with the smooth malt flavor nicley blended . Great character as it ends a little sweet and fruity. This beer just makes you wanting for more. Very appetizing and quaffable. The quest for the perfect amber ale just may end here.

Bomber share with my brother (Vac) and zug4abby upon my arrival in SD. Poured amber with a creamy off-white head that is lasting and leaves nice rings down the glass. The aroma found caramel, milk chocolate, hints of honey, and almost a floral hint. The flavor is much the same with caramel, hints of chocolate and hops backed with light spices. Medium body and dry texture. Nice start to my week in San Diego!

22 oz bomber thanks to padrefan78. Poured a nice clear rusty copper color with a small foamy white head, looked a little thin and slightly to much carbonation for my taste. Aroma is caramel malt and slight honey. Palate is a little dry and flavor is not as sweet as the aroma would lead one to believe. Average beer with nothing special going on.

Nice clear deep amber color. Very good brew. Strong hop flavors abound in this one. Very drinkable brew.
