From the 650 ml. bottle with no date or lot code listed anyplace. The pour is a fairly clear amber-copper tone with a long lasting supply of off-white puffy head. The aroma is quite a delicious combination of fresh evergreen, caramel, and malts. The taste is more like an English bitter with honey rather than an American pale with a dryer finish. I thought it was a nice brew.

Bomber from the Foodery in Philadelpha. Pours a hazy light chestnut with a two finger dusky tan head. Mild IPA-like aroma of citrus backed by lightly toasted malt. Well-balanced flavor with notes of citrur, caramel, milk chocolate and fresh baked bread. Just the right level of carbonation and a medium dry, lightly bitter finish. This would be a welcome addition to any beer fridge.

Fresh bomber. Pours copper with a thin white head. Tastes of sweet malt, some earthy hops, hints of spice. Tastes sweet with some tea like hoppy hints and a touch of spiciness.

Amber in color witha small- medium off white head. Aroma: caramel/crystal malts with some floral and citrus. Taste is a fairly balanced mix of floral/citrus and caramelized malts. Bittering is light to moderate, body is full for the style.

<i>Bottled at Akkurat, Stockholm. </i> Clear orange/amber, rich head. Grapefruity nose. Medium sweet with clean, rounded mouthfeel. Dusty fruits and crystal malt form a mid-sized body. Finishes with mild bitterness wrapped in caramel.

22oz bottle-pours a foamy off white head and copper color. Aroma is pine/resin hops, backbone of sweet medium malt-caramel. Taste is pine/resin hops, backbone of sweet medium malt-caramel. The Vienna/Oktoberfest style malt brings this towards the amber style. OK carbonation. Medium body.
