Tap at the Mexican Food Factory. Pours out a clear orange color with a small white head. Aroma is of cloves, sweet fruits, nut, apple cider, spice and a slight bitterness. Taste is complex and well balanced. Fruity up front with some apple notes, clove, yeast, bubblegum and some earthy nutty notes in there too, all before a slight bitterness on the finish. Very solid, I’m usually not a fan of malty stuff, but this was quite good.

22oz bottle. Vintage 2009. Clear orange color, white bubbly head. Aroma of sugary bubble gum. Nice rich malts, hint of toast. Followed in aroma with a clean, crisp herbal hop. Heavenly aroma. Flavor is a stick sweet malt nectar. So good! Big and chewy. Some ripe tree fruits as well like a juicy apple. This beer is so damn tasty. I am definitely gonna have to buy more of these. Sweet enough it should age very well.

Bomber 07 vintage. Pour is orange/amber with a thick white head. Aromas of spice, earthy hops, sweet fruits, and citrus. Flavor is much of them same and really drinkable. Nice and well worth $2.99.

22oz 2008 bomber courtesy of Dyan, thanks for the opportunity. The color of this beer is orange and has an odd brightness to it. It smells yeasty, cloves, malty. The flavors I get are fruits like apples and fruit with acidity. I am sure fans of the style will like this but my palate is still unable to really appreciate lagers.

Bottle acquired via trade with blipp. Pours a filtered copper color from the bomber with a malty off-white head and mild carbonation. Smells of yeast, juicy grapes, and gym sock. Features the flavors of underripe strawberries, white grapes, red apples, sourdough, and plenty of malt. Builds in character as you drink it, but I would not recommend handling a bottle on your lonesome, as there is an element of pumpkin pie spice that grows tiresome.

Bomber...received from a trade with Oteyj.....orange amber with a beige head......smells like a nut bread...yeast and bread notes followed by pecans and almonds along with some sweet malts...medium sweet body, with a sour bitter mixed finish....aroma is not as prevalent in the flavor...its more sweet malt and spices (cinnamon and nutmeg)...pretty good...mild bitter and dry finish---orange rind taste tinged throughout

Bottle 650 ml.
Appearance: clear amber lager with large, frisky, creamy-white top.3+
Aroma: sweet, fruity, berry like with slight peppery hop side.
Flavour/Palate: full bodied, slightly oily in texture. You will be welcomed by alcohol warmth right from first sip. Thick, malty body supports well its formula. Malt it self is candy sweet but with out crossing cloying point. Good bock.

Bomber from Phhd. Thanks Ethan. Shared first beer of election night. Pours light orange with a bright white head. Nose is sweet and malty. Taste is sweet malty and biscuitty. Taste and drinkable.
