Bomber courtesy of cbkschubert. Earthly aroma notes along bisket dough. Copper body with good head and decent lacing. Flavor has a good citrus sugar tatste to it. Not as crisp as most ipa’s are. Leaves a sugary sweet sticky aftertaste on palate. Good brew thanks Craig

Bottle. Pours orange with a sticky off white head. Hoppy aroma, with grassy, floral and sweet caramel and fruit notes. Medium body. Flavor is again hoppy, grass, floral and a bit of pine, as well as a solid caramel malt base. Finishes with a nice lingering bitterness.

Bottle. Pours a deep orange color. Very malty, caramel & muted hops aroma. This bottle has been around for a bit so iM sure the hops element has faded. Malts dominate here. Pretty flavorful. Sweeter malts, caramel malts right up front followed but some minor piney hops. Well balanced& tasty but I should of pulled this one out a while ago

Pours an orange copper colour with a medium, frothy off-white head that leaves great lacing. The nose is robustly malty with fruity and citric overtones. Grahm cracker, caramel, vanilla, orange and some pine all come to mind. The flavour is a bit earthier, with brown sugar, burnt caramel and vinous malts. The hops are initially very bitter, but with each sip they begin to meld much better with the malty flavours. The hops come across as citric, mostly orange-like, and a bit weak for my tastes. The finsh is a little short and watery, but overall the beer is well-balanced and tasty.

From bottle. Brownish, copper colour with a thin white head. left a decent lace on the glass. Sweet aroma, fruity. Flavour was rather sweet with hops. Bitter finish.
