ratman197 (2432), Arvada, Colorado, USA Aug 18, 2008 Bomber poured a clear copper weith a lingering ring of amber foam. Aromas of carmel, earthiness, pine, orange and light tropical fruit. Palate was light to medium bodied and smooth with a slightly dry finish. Flavors of carmel, earthiness, light pine and light orange with a smooth lingering moderatly bitter finish.
blklab2007 (595), Connecticut, USA Nov 15, 2008 22 oz bottle poured a light amber color with a thin white layer of head. aroma has pine hops, resin, caramel malt, and light citrus underlying. mouth feel is medium with light carbonation and coats the mouth well for a single ipa. flavor is heavily resinous with pines and bitterness. malt is high enough to keep it from being one sided and mixes in with light sweetness. finish is bitter and lingering on the tongue. definitely on the resinous bitter end of the ipa. scale.
mrant (263), New York, USA Oct 26, 2008 Smells of very sweet floral hops. Pours a light copper color with a very think white head. Taste is pungent hop flavor up front with a somewhat watery feel. Very tasty but not the best. Sparky27 (683), Phoenix, Arizona, USA Oct 26, 2008 Bomber courtesy of riversideAK. Pours a bright clear amber with a one finger white head that recedes to a soap scum layer and results in fairly decent lacing. Nose is light caramel malts and citrus. Taste is malt, faint floral and citrus hops with some resin bitterness in the finish. Light-to-medium mouth feel. Pretty mellow hop profile but very drinkable. Thanks Alex! Beardface (225), Eugene, Oregon, USA Oct 26, 2008 This is a randomly and extremely sweet tasting IPA. Almost too overpoweringly sweet to my mind actually. Really pretty orange color though and a little bit of a bitter finish at the end. Better than average, but not by much. ditmier (273), Boise, Idaho, USA Oct 25, 2008 2008 Bottle - Pours orange with a large off-white head, aroma is interesting, citrusy, but also sweet and malty - which the bottle is not....quite a dry IPA, resinous, serious hop bitterness, finishes caramely, but not sweet...one dimensional, and bitter to be bitter without any other tangible qualities...did I get a bad bottle maybe?
