Oct 13, 2008 Pours hazy orange, only a little head. Aroma is sweet citrus and some caramel sweetness. Flavor is much of the same with sort of a metallic finish. Smooth yet slightly syrupy at times. Sort of enjoyable but I wouldn’t reach for this again.

Oct 12, 2008 Pours gold with a nice white head. Smells of bitter citrus, resiny. Tastes bitter with a sweet syruppy finish. Not seeing the draw to this one.

Oct 11, 2008 Bottle. [thank you, myrup]
Pours clear golden with a nice, staying, creamy, white head. Aroma is hoppy, light pineapple, grapefruit and maltiness. Fine, creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is powerful, vinious, sweet malts and lots of hoppy flavour. There is far too much maltiness and sweetness in here, but the hops are very nice.

Oct 9, 2008 Bomber sent from lilbeerdoctor, thanks! Very impressive nose, the heavy, complex tropical aromas of hops came straight from the bottle as I opened it. Golden hue, thick whitish head with a yellow tint. Very good beer, sharply bitter and clean and in many ways exactly what I was looking for. Lots of pale malt with more hop complexity than I expected from only two varities. Didn’t get the wheat though.

Oct 7, 2008 Bomber poured a clear golden yellow with a small lingering white head. Aromas of wheat, earthiness, citrus and a hint of pine. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of wheat, straw, orange zest and light grapefruit with a smooth ligfhtly dry lingering bitter finish.

Oct 4, 2008 Bottle. Amber beer with a thin off-white head. Great resiny, grapefruit aroma. Grapefruit, pine, caramel flavor. Body doesn’t keep up with the flavor - just a little too light. Resin and grapefruit linger with a bit of caramel. A bit of grass starts to show up in the background.

Oct 3, 2008 Pours a clear gold in color with a huge pillowy, carbonated white head sitting atop. Smell is piney and grassy hops. Very good amount of piney hops in the nose. Taste is more of the flavorful hops. Not overly bitter or tongue thrashing. More of the flavorful type. I would prefer if this beer was a bit more of a brute. Without the aspect, this is a very drinkable, smooth beer. Almost too drinkable, especially since the bottle notes the 10% ABV.

Sep 28, 2008 22oz bottle courtesy of Swolf3, thank you Steven. Nice dark yellow/gold color, white head. Nice hop aroma, grassy and a little piney, very subdued. Bitter hopiness in the flavor, not too bad.
