Jul 20, 2008 Bottle.
Head is initially large, frothy, off-white, mostly lasting.
Body is hazy light whitish-yellow, bottle conditioned.
Aroma is lightly malty (toasted grain), moderately hoppy (resin, grapefruit), lightly yeasty (dough).
Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, lightly to moderately bitter.
Finish is lightly sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, moderately to heavily bitter.
Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation.
Zzzzzzz. Just another one-dimensional and raw, resinously hoppy brew. Man cannot live by hops alone.

Jul 19, 2008 Cloudy amber pour with a thick off white head. Subtle nose of hops, pine and meadow flowers. Hops dominate the taste along with grapefruit. This is a muh better brew than the SN on tap throughout CA!

Jul 18, 2008 Bottle from a local store. I love the bombers of Sierra Nevada, because they are 24 oz. Aside from that, the beer is actually good too. Pours out a nice orange color with a white head. Smell is full of grass and citrus flavored hops. Very good! Taste is sweet and smooth with a nice hop presence. Fairly hoppy, but not over the top. A really good session IPA. Good stuff here - try some if you havent already.

Jul 17, 2008 Bomber. Nice amber pour, seems a little dark for an IPA, but who cares, it looks good. Nice big fluffy white head. A little hop kick in the first sip, muted a bit afterward, very good though. Good flavor the whole way. Hops do stick to your tongue, but in a good way. Nice

Jul 17, 2008 (bottle) A bright and clear red-amber body with tiny bubbles floating up to a big, rocky off-white head. Hop aroma is very floral - pine, flowers, honey - and has some spiciness, too. Medium to full bodied; soft and thick. Lots of hops, but it does taste fresh and warm. Bitterness is masked a little in the front by the body and carbonation, but the bitterness really comes through in the end and aftertaste. One of my most favorite "hoppy" beers, I think.

Jul 17, 2008 Pour from 24oz bottle. Beautiful pour of golden orange with a perfect off white head. Nice aroma of floral hops. Awesome flavor. It’s of floral hops with a nice malt backround. Flavor lingers on the tongue. Very smooth and drinkable. Not as intense as I thought it would be. Overall, an excellent brew.
