Sep 7, 2009 Bomber sampled at Butters’ 1500 / MmmcKay’s 200 tasting. Pours a bright clear dark amber with orange highlights and sand rippled off white head. Nose is sweet citrus and bready maltiness. Flavor is sweet caramels with more citrus hops. Linger semi-bitter finish. Not all that impressed here, but not bad. Cool label per usual for these guys.

Sep 7, 2009 Copper in color with just a hint of red. Smells of light sour fruit and sweet malt. Notes of caramelized vegetables. Tastes just about right for the style. But nothing really stands out either. Nice light bitter finish. Quenching.

Sep 1, 2009 A dingy brown colored brew with a small but thick tan head and dry sticky lacing. Aroma is mostly fruit with spices. Flavor begins with lots of fruit and spices but has a nice tart hop bite that adds depth. Alcohol isn’t tasted or felt in warmth but the effects are there. Very well done.

Aug 31, 2009 Serving: 22 oz. bottle.
Appearance: Hazy amber with a small, foamy, off-white head.
Aroma: Very fruity with hints of cherries, chocolate, paper, and a slight herbal note.
Taste: Smooth chocolate notes, some fruitiness, spicy hops, and a stalwart bitterness. Really nice! The alcohol is undetectable.
Palate: Medium carbonation that is almost a little creamy. Medium-rich mouthfeel and a medium-long, slightly bitter finish.
Overall: A creative and well made beer that had a lot of surprise in the aroma and taste categories.
Rebuy: Yes. I found this one to be very enjoyable and tasty.
