A rather wet palate. This is sort of a middle of the road ale. Not too hoppy not to malty. A mild ale with a slight fruity hint.

nice amber color, but I had virtually no head. good taste, more malt than hops, overall not a bad beer, but not a great one either.

Pours a nice amber, minimal head and fair lace, sweet some what fruity nose, malts also present, start sweet, the middle light, mild carbonation, light hop presence in the quite dry finish. Drinkable, but nothing to cheer about.

Not my favorite H.C. Berger offering. Nice amber color but no head to speak of. Low carbonation (which I like) plus smooth flavor combine to create a very easy drinking brew. I’m just not a big fan of the strong fruity/malty flavor.

color was o.k. more malt than hop flavor. the label led me to believe it would be an IPA. it was definitely not. as with some of their other brews, it had an off taste, kind of tart? could have been a lot better.

BOMBAY IS EXCELLENT, I LOVE THIS STUFF!! HAS A FAINT VANILLA AROMA, AND IS A LOVELY AMBER HUE. YOU CAN REALLY GO WILD ON THIS BREW AND I AM ADVISING YOU TO DO SO...NOW!!

Orange in color; no head; typical pale ale nose. This is one of those Jeckyl and Hyde beers, because aesthetcally (sp?) it did nothing for me- no head, no excitement in the nose. But the sharp hops on the sides of your tongue were nice and the Cascades were hidden in the back as a nice afterthought.

I was a little let down as the name led me to expect an IPA (where is Bombay, anyway?). Not a bad beer, though. Very subdued and mildly hopped. Smooth.
