Tasted 1/16/09. 22oz bomber. First pour was mildly hazy with a golden hue. Trace ring of off-white head. Big nose. Citrus, floral, grassy hop aromas. Full bodied with a fresh cluster hop flavor. Decent crisp citrus effervescence. Moderate malt character. Totally hop driven. Sweet, grassy hops. Super fresh. A less sweet Un*Earthly. Different from the parts, but integrated wonderfully.

20090127 Bomber from Spirits RB. Sweet new foil printed label and I’m glad they did away with the wax. Two good ideas going on with this beer-- the blending, and the marketing that lets folks know it’s blended. The beer is an orange tinged copper with creamy, lasting white head that sheets lace. Nice citrus aromas, lots of grapefruit and some orange, cracker and grassy maltiness is subtle. Flavor is a good balance of light malts and hops in keeping with the aroma. Medium body. Lightly boozy, but not bad considering it’s advertised size. Sweet, bitter finish with lingering resinous bite. Yum. It’s starting to bug me how many beers I’m having for the umpteenth time that I’m finding I’ve never rated.

Wonderful stuff! I’ve always found the unearthly to be a bit big and the hoppe a big weak, but together, they’re great! Big time hop aroma with a crisp finish. The wife even liked this one.

Pours copper-light amber with a tight small head. Aroma is citrus hoppiness and a sweet honey maltiness, some light fruit and caramel as well. Flavour was citrus again with grapefruit leading. Sweet malt and light alf and a medium to high bitter finish.

Poured hazy copper with lots of hops in the nose. Flavor is nice hoppy bitterness, citrus fruit, and sweet malt that sticks on the back of the tongue.

Purchased 22-oz bomber from Cellar’s Wine & Spirits in Shorewood, MN. Pours a semi-hazy orange amber brew with a thick off-white head that slowly dissipates to a fine film and thin ring. Aroma of double IPA, grapefruit zest, some white pepper, grassy hops, light caramel malt and a touch of alcohol presence. Taste is full bodied, hoppy flavor with grapefruit background thoughout. Finish is semi-sweet with a lingering tart grapefruit aftertastes.

Draft at RnH. Fluffy white head with both a big pilsner malt and hoppy nose. As I drink it more and more, it really enjoy it more. Nice, dry finish although a little boozy.

for all us hopheads out there, this is one that will make you love beer all over again, not too strong, not too weak, just the right amount of pine and citrus flavors, excellent IPA. up there with Great Divide Hercules.
