22oz bottle. Thanks John! Pours with a massive head into my traditional weizen glass. Banana nose with some bubblegum and malt. Flavor is thick and sweet with some more candied banana and bubblegum...lingering sweetness. Not much else going on...I’m just wondering why? The description says "taking a style that is delicate and quaffable and shaping it into" (what they should have said next was) something unrefreshingly sweet that will get you hammered. This is like malt liquor with a weizen yeast. I don’t absolutely hate it, but I don’t see the point either...its a gimmick and a bad one. Why plug 8% ABV into a weizen? The only payoff here is that it gets you buzzed. Anything delicate and subtle has been shoved aside by the overwhelming sweetness. I wish there were some "divergent characteristics" in this beer. Maybe it would have been better with a lemon wedge?

Nov 26, 2009 Sneaking away from Thanksgiving to rate a beer. Hi, my name is Nick and I’m a ratebeerholic...and an alcoholic, while we’re at it. Bomber from Jason’s in Ellicott City, MD. Pours a cloudy golden-straw color with a fairly large long-lasting white head. Aroma is wheat, yeast, banana, citrus, and spice. Flavor is very nice and only mildly sweet with wheat, yeast, citrus and floral hops, banana, clove, and loads of spices on the finish. Medium-full body with a tingly, spicy mouthfeel. Overall a great beer. Interesting.

Oct 30, 2009 Bottle. Pours cloudy blonde with a thick white head. Aroma of fruit, some citrus, and wheat. Flavor has excellent wheat tones, interesting for a 8% beer. Some clove, a little sweet and a little boozy. Worth a try though.

Oct 25, 2009 22 oz Bottle. Pours a nice cloudy orange. Smells of wheat and some banana flavoring. Flavor is excellent including some wheat. The first taste was a little strong of alcohol but it decreased with each sip. Great beer. Highly recommended.
