22oz - Perfect Pour. Hazed dark amber, white creamy head. Subtle spicy rye and citrus aromas with undertones of fruity toasted caramel. Bold rye notes up front fade into soft peppered toffee flavors and touches of back end citric hoppiness. Medium bodied, medium carbonation, drying spicy rye finish. Well done...

Draught at OT. Nice lasting foam over a deep amber ale. Small woody hop aroma. Big rye taste with a lasting balanced bitterness.

flavor of fruit and cherry with a dirty dishwater, citrus hop finish. but the flavor of nice fruit and the palate and flavor of the rye really does embibe a better than average palate and finish that while not exactly balanced is more than adequate. and a nice hidden alcohol...it really has a good rye character that is sketchy but of notice to an old rye hound like me.

Cask. Pours an amber body with an off white head. The rye is subdued, citrus, light earth and pine. Nice brew.

20090716 Bomber from Red Bank Spirits. Attractive beer, medium amber, lightly hazed, medium sized, sticky, off-white head. Aroma is citrusy and spicy, savory, with bready malts. Thick bodied up front with prickly eff and thinning at the finish. Some earthy, dirty flavors come in midway back and linger until taken over by peppery alcohol. Heavy alcohol kick at end is unpleasant and incessant. I can imagine this was worlds better on cask, but the carbonation and body here are a mess. Am I drinking the same beer as every body else here?

Bomber from a beverage distributor in Valley Stream. Amber in color with a medium white head. Aroma is some citrus, rye, caramel/molasses, light earth. Taste is rye, some citrus: orange/grapefruit, and a medium caramel malt body. Moderate hop bittering finish.

Bomber. Clear amber with a nice eggshell head. Flowery nose, orange and mild rye, light caramel. Orange zesty flavor, dry floral notes and mild rye. Finished with a somewhat dry floral bite. Body is the light side of medium with good carbonation. A really nice drinker!
