Slightly hazy yellow orange with a foamy tan head that fades. Aroma is spicy hops, caramel, and roast malt. Rye gives the beer a rich dark taste and is balanced well by the sweet malt. Thick texture in mouth with full carbonation.

Pours golden brown with a slight tint of red. Smells like baked cinnamon butter cookies that have gotten wet.

Sampled at the ’Butter’s Last Supper’ tasting. Nice bright golden orange with decent khaki head. Nose has wisps of alcohol, a dark grainy maltiness. Flavor adds honey, grass, floral grainy astringency. Another fine example of just how much I really don’t care for rye beers. Super sweet label though.

Bomber, shared. Pours a clear amber with a small to medium off-white head. Aroma is caramel, grassy hops, a bit of grain (that’s rye....haven’t had a rye beer in a while). Flavor is caramel, malt, flowery hops, light fruit, and a slightly stringent rye finish. It’s nice - and I’m glad for that. These guys are so hit-or-miss.

Bottle at Oliver Twist. Clear amber body with a medium off white head. Caramel, rye, grassy hops and fruit in aroma. The flavour is very flowery and fruity with notes of caramel, sweet malt and rye. Medium bodied. Nice.

Medium to light orange, beautiful head that never stops and leaves a thick lace. Aroma is floral hops and light rye spiciness. Flavor is rye accented spicy malt with a floral hop finish. Maybe not mind bending over the top flavors, but everything balances nicely, making for an enjoyable beer.

I like this beer. I love the Blue Point brand and this is another killer in their line up. Keep up the good work. .

Bomber. Clear amber appearance with a small, off white head and little lacing. Orange/citrus aroma at first; the rye really kicks in as it reaches room temperature. Moderately sweet taste, with the grainy rye overwhelming the hops except in the aftertaste. Smooth, medium bodied, decently carbonated mouthfeel with a lingering finish accented by the modestly high abv.
