Bomber shared with Piscator34. Amber coloured brew. Great nose of hops and more hops. Taste- bouquet of piney/citrus hops. A west coast classic! Nice mouthfeel- not too thin but not cloying. Smoothh stuff for such a killer brew. No booziness apparent, and highlyu drinkable.

22 oz’er. Pours pure amber with a sheen and a thin and sturdy foam top. The aroma is as if I dove into a barrel of soaking hops ... wow. Likewise, this beer drinks with a kick-in-the-pants oily hoppiness ... earthy and citric all at the same time. The sting stays with you, too. The body is perfect ... not full, and not too light. Not sure this has enough of a solid foundation to support the superbly stacked-on powerful hop. This is an aptly named beer -- I’d love to try and freeze it -- and definitely for the Hopheads.

Bomber from Holiday Wine Cellar: Clear golden amber color with a generous eggshell white head. Aroma is citrus and lots of pine. Flavor starts sweet grapefruit with a little grass followed by sharp pine ending with a tart grapefruit rind bitter finish. Medium bodied and oily with moderate carbonation.

2006 GABF Huge c-hop aroma, possibly a backing of honeyish malt. Taste is huge c-hops and really much else. Thick. This is a typical unbalanced west coast IIPA, the way they should be.

Wow. Bottle from WF. aroma is herbal, grassy hops. pours a cloudy amber, pretty decent co2. there is a hint of malt in front but it is quickly overwhelmed by a full assault of hops. citric, a touch of pine, all sorts of green grass, just delicious. fantastic brew, hides the 9.2% very well.

Clear auburn, oily white head. Smoth but dank hop aroma, grapefruit, orange and pine. Intensely bitter upfront but backed up by a huge hop flavor. Though very nice to look at, it has an overly filtered flavor to it, lending a bit of a harsh edge.

Oh man. Just the way I like my IPAs. Super hops. Intense citrus/pine taste. Another fine beer from Moylans.
