Bomber on special for 2.99. Perfectly good for the price. Not overly complex, but a very nice, drinkable beer. Nice use of Amarillo, but could have been a little stronger on the nose. Maybe losing some of the hops as it gets on in the season?

Bomber from Capone’s. Pours turbid dark orangy with 1-figer white head and substantial lacing. Nose is piney hops, caramel malt, bready grainy malt, red grapes. Tastes resiny hoppy, tangeriney, with caramel malt, pineapple, honeydew, and cracked white pepper. The palate is very smooth, on the dry side, rich, complex, and creamy. I had a bomber, and thus the ability to repour, yet the bottle pictured in the photo field is a 12 ouncer. I wonder if this may have cost some points for those unable to repour?

22 ounce bottle purchased at Monument in Concord, CA. Aroma is a little grainy, with some biscuit notes present. This also has some metallic hop character. It smells a little like a lager/heller bock. Not sure if I like the aroma. Transparent golden body with a decent white head and some wispy lacing present. Starts a bit metallic and lightly sweet with some mandarin orange flavors. Becomes pretty spicy and hoppy in the middle. Decent balance of malts and hops with a long, herbal, spicy finish. Has a nice oily texture, which coats the mouth nicely. This beer is different, but enjoyable.

orange pour, thick white froth, tons of lacing citrus and floral hoppy nose mostly hops in the flavor, some alcohol and grapefruit, malty in the middle, with a bitter finish nice medium body is a good complement to the hops and alcohol, fairly carbonated and a bit sharp at the back of the throat
