Mar 5, 2008 Amber beer with a fluffy beige head that left sticky lace. Wet grain nose. Lots of hops on the tongue. Malty with some sour dough bread. This is a odd beer that is difficult to pin down.

Mar 4, 2008 Updated: Jun 14, 2008Sweet grainy buttery popcorn and banana aroma. Piney boquet.
Oily texture. Lively carb, diverse palate has a lingering finish.
Taste of cherries and toffee malts living in harmony with grapefruit and pine hops. Nutty bitter finish.
I love these Zappa beers, they are underated.

Mar 4, 2008 Sample at Barley’s Smokehouse. The beer is a clear ruby-amber color with a medium thin light khaki head that dissipates slowly. Stringy lacing on the glass. The aroma is toasted malt and sweet fruit. Medium-bodied and clean with flavors of toasted malt, brown sugar and hops, plus a hint of cherry cough medicine. The finish is sweet and fruity and leaves a lingering hops aftertaste. Above average overall.

Mar 4, 2008 Bottle: From the locals tasting. Dark amber pour with a small white head. A fair amount of lacing present. Something was a bit off here and not in the "bad/infected bottle" sense. Very earthy, wet grass, light malts and very subtle piney hops in the nose. Strange, dirt flavor comes through with the resin hop flavors finishing it off. This ultimately just tasted very odd and unappealing.

Mar 3, 2008 Pours deep amber into a snifter. Off-white head quickly recedes to scum surface. Orange rind aromas. Sticky with upfront caramel and a lasting resin finish.

Mar 3, 2008 22oz bottle. Deep ruby red/brown color. Nice frothy head. Mild malty aroma. This one reminds me of a Scottish Wee Heavy or something along those lines. Mellows towards the end and displays some nice brown ale qualities. Very well done, with a good hoppy balance. Creamy, rich, and warming. Wonderfully mild but complex, certainly recommended.

Mar 3, 2008 Bottle (22oz) shared with HogTownHarry, biegaman, rudolf & swoopjones -- courtesy of swoopjones. Pours a deep ruby-orange with a small diminishing frothy off-white head. Aroma’s mild, malty and sugary sweet along with notes of fruit and herbal hops. Malty flavour, also sweet, with some toastiness, fruit, light hops and sugar. Average bodied. My least favourite Zappa release, a little too sweet, almost cloying at times, I found it just O.K.

Mar 3, 2008 Bomber...This beer is very similar to Hairy Eyeball. It is so similar, I actually mentioned to my buddy that this was like drinking a Hairy Eyeball Lite. Poured a crimson brown w/ a slight off white head. Aroma of carmel and figs...Flavor was caramel, spice, dark fruits. A little watery on the palate. A nice beer, but not a homerun.
