Mar 8, 2009 22oz Bomber.A trade extra from kosko20 thanks John. A hazy amber, orange, color pour with a huge fluffy offwhite head,that faded slowly,leaving some nice lace. Aroma seemed somewhat subdued at first (the big head was hiding it) very nice grapefruit,orange zest,pine,and herbs.
Flavor is huge bitter hops YUMMY tastebud bashing pine,citrus and herbal resin bitterness with a little flash of caramel sweetness here and there, a hint of the alcohol at the finish. Full mouthfeel,medium carbonation DUDE this shit is the bomb. Aftertaste = HOPS , burps = HOPS .

Mar 8, 2009 hazy gold, not much of a white head, some lace. nose is sweet malt, citrus hops, bordering on the too sweet. the flavor is creamy caramel, sweet malts, with an offset (but not enough of an offset) with citrus hops, and a hint of piney hops. medium body, lingering bitter finish. pretty good, well worth a taste. sampled with cornfield whiling away the time at his house.

Mar 8, 2009 Pours murky peach copper with almost no head. Aroma is Lots of pine sap and sweet red grapefruit, rich caramel notes (like candy sweet), toffee, almond nougate, a touch of green apple and some almond nougate. Flavor is carame, pine, toffee, and fruity candy upfront. Soon after comes in the burnt sugar, bitter grapefruit, melon, green apple, peach, and burnt sugar. The finish is pine, bitter grapefruit, white tea, and more burnt sugar. The palate is medium thickness, a little oily and slick on the tongue, carbonation level is a little low and finish is moderately dry.

Mar 7, 2009 Bomber from BevMo in Scottsdale, AZ. Pours a deep copper bronze under a tall rocky white head. Huge pine forrest and grapefruit aroma. Flavor follows the aroma with plenty oitrus and a solid malt backbone. Texture was a bit chalky for me hut the finish is crisp, hippy and welcomig of another sip. Glad I stumbled on this in the isles.

Mar 6, 2009 22oz bottle: poured dark orange with a smallish beige head. Small head probably due to the temperature of the beer. Big caramel/pine aroma. Big bitter, sweet, massive hop taste. Bitter finish. Nice full body. I may have rated this higher back when I was a big hophead but my tastes have changed. I would have loved this even more so back in the day. Still a very nice beer.

Feb 26, 2009 On tap at the Toronado in San Fran. Pours a beautiful dark golden color with a big beige head. Nice big hop aroma of both grapefruit/orange and pine needles with some mild caramel in the background. Well balanced but leans more towards the hop bomb side of the spectrum, good spiciness to it as well. Will try to pick some of this up when I next visit Washington. Hope they start distributing to Oregon soon!

Feb 26, 2009 Bottle from Jamvin23. Pours bright unclear orange with an off white head. Fresh hoppy aroma with citrus and pine notes and a definite caramel malt note. The flavor is pretty well balanced, with a nice spicy and citric hop profile and a solid caramel malt sweetness. Nice lingering grassy hop bitterness. Really good.
