Mar 10, 2008 Pours hazy yellow-orange. Aroma is hops with some grass. Flavor is mild hops with some herbal tea tones to it. Bitter.

Mar 10, 2008 Pours a completely opaque orange with large fluffy white head. Aroma is about the only thing this one has going for it: very perfumy and floral, as well an apricot citric sweetness. After that its all downhill: runny and thin on the palate, with an initial astringent plasticine bitterness becoming a lemon dishsoap mixed with tea disaster. The finish tastes like artichokes and rubber. There’s no way I can finish this.

Feb 23, 2008 22 oz bottle shared by shigadeyo. Pours a hazy golden orange color with the smallest of heads. The aroma is fruity citrus, earthy, grass, and funk. The flavor is initially fruity that rapidly diminishes to a floral soapy chemical mess. Not a fan of this one.

Feb 12, 2008 Bomber from Bottle Barn; Nose is grain, faint grassy hops, and an herbal odor I assume to be yerba mate; hazy yellow with a medium pale yellow head; flavor was peppery, lemon, wheat, and hop bitterness!

Feb 7, 2008 Very acidic aroma... not too appealing. The appearance doesn’t do much for me either... opaque orangy/amber color. Pours a ridiculously thick head that lasts and laces the glass heavily. Slight molasses flavor, hints of hops and herbs. Icky palate and rough, acidic finish. I’m hyper after this caffeinated junk!! Butte Creek tastes like Butte.

Jan 28, 2008 22 ounce bomber purchased at the Davis Food Co-op. Aroma is very herbal, acidic, with some lemons, and a bit acetic. Almost has a peppery solvent-like nose. Interesting aroma, to say the least. Moderately opaque honey-colored body with a massive, frothy white head. Wow...spicy, spritzy peppery, herbal start. Becomes a little dry and bitter later on. Finishes with...olives. Pimento Olives. This is a dead-ringer for those green Pimento Olives that you can buy in a jar. I don’t like drinking olive juice.

Jan 8, 2008 served cold from bottle. it poured a golden color, maybe a hint of orange in it, with a thin white head that left some lacing. the smell was very earthy with some hops. the taste was quite interesting and the mate is definitely noticeable. i don’t know if it’s the kind of beer i would drink regularly, though.

Jan 7, 2008 Cloudy banana bronze with mildewy head. Appealing aroma composed of a complexity of earthy herbalness and light PNW hopping. Some yeasty zest, perhaps a bit of lemon. Interesting mate flavor that is quite enjoyable with some zing and mildly tannic. I thoroughly enjoyed this brew and hope to imbibe again.
