Jan 16, 2009 Tallahassee, Fl. - Market Square Liquors - 22 oz bomber. Pours a sparkling medium copper with a light but sticky white head that leaves a thin coat of lacing. Aroma has some floral notes, a hint of spruce and some peanuts. Flavor has some tart citrusy notes, gumball candy sweetness and a hint of maple syrup. Mouthfeel has good thickness to it - but aftertaste is a tad too strong. Other than that a pretty solid effort from Butte Creek.

Jan 16, 2009 Decent nutty, chalky, dry caramel malt aroma. Kind of a cool label, but it’s not bright enough to see. Mostly clear,ruddy medium brown wth lacy head. Someplace between a brown ale and a PA. Sawdust and marjoram on the front end, followed by a citrus peel bitterness. Not sweet. Toasted malt and bitter hop finish. Interesting, pretty solid. Market Square Liquors.

Oct 28, 2008 Tap @ O’Brien’s. Pours a clear deep gold with a slight orange hue. Nose of citrus and some earthy undertones. Flavor was much of the same with some cereal grains, not bad.

Nov 26, 2008 Bomber picked up at Whole Foods Market, San Diego. Nice deep amber/ruby in color upon pouring. Not much foam. Aroma is pretty balanced with some rich maltiness and a nice hop character. Flavor is highly bitter with a fair amount of malts. Bitter finish as well. Kind of reminds me of a really beefed up amber. Solid.
