| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 9, 2009 On tap at Flossmoor. Pours copper with a foamy white head, Aroma is of yeast, hops, sugar, raisins, and malt. Taste is overly malty with a decent earthy hop character. Flavors of spice, yeast, sugar and rasins. Very dry malt base to it. Lingering spicy raisin taste. Mouthfeel is creamy and heavily carbonated. Body is a tad too chalky, but not that bad. Alcohol is present, but blends well. A tad dissapointing.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Nov 3, 2009 Bomber - light orange/coppery color and crystal clear, light head that dissipates rapidly. I get honey, light flowery, coriander and spices in the nose. Sweet, honey and no bitterness. Mild alcohol warmness and pretty smooth as if passes over the tongue. Not much for hops or bitterness. An OK beer (but my wife really enjoyed it). Beerlando (2347), Orlando, Florida, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 30, 2009 Bomber, courtesy dchmela. Pours a mostly clear, light orange amber color with a small head of off-white foam. A dense, sugary wash leaves scant, wet spots behind on the glass. Aromatic notes of pithy orange peel, powerful wildflower, and coriander build upon a sugary sweet malt base of honey and wheat. Flavors, likewise, are far too sweet and laden with honey glazed cereal grain. Bitter coriander and orange peel prove to be strange bedfellows for the sweet grain, failing to fill the void from which the hops seem to be missing. The palate gets its fullness mostly from sugar, finishing sticky and warm with alcohol, though the carbonation is balanced. I just don’t think this brew is for me. kosko20 (313), Bemidji, Minnesota, USA
