Mar 21, 2009 Super sexy beer. Wonderful amber color with a fluffy off-white head. The hops are more assertive in the flavor and aroma than in the bitterness. Nice malt back bone.

Mar 21, 2009 Sampled in Lexington, Va. Has a big aroma and hoppy tastes. Malts are pretty strong. Goes down pretty smooth. This is a very quality brew.

Mar 20, 2009 Bomber pours a transparent golden amber with a slight white head. Aroma is fragrant hops, grapefruit, and pine predominant but some slight floral notes as well. Mouthfeel is medium bodiedlight carbonation and sticky and slight oil finish. Hops is the boss in this brew. It seems at peace with the bitterness, a nice balance exists between hops and alcohol. (7.5% = 93 IBUs) There is a slight malt backbone, but lets not get picky IPAs are about the hops and this one packs hop flavor. This brew is highly drinkable and a great representation of what an IPA should taste like.

Mar 19, 2009 Small tan head, retention is fair, lacing is somewhat coating and sticky. Clear light amber hued ale. Nose is welcoming with pine, lesser grapefruit and faint malt notes. Body is medium and a touch resiny, lightly oily. Nice hop flavors backed by some lightly sweet malt notes, berrys and some earthyness as well. An almost dry under bittered finish. I know i,ve rated this before, last year i do believe? Had it on tap at home along with several cases i,d gone through. Not sure where the rating went but i do believe it,s gettin a lower score this time. Probably closer to what it really deserves IMHO.

Mar 18, 2009 LOVE this beer! A truly hoppy aroma, one of wet pine needles and a floral bouquet. Flavor lacks a bit of depth, as the hops slightly overpower the malty characteristics. Could be better balanced. All in all, a great beer, just my type.

Mar 16, 2009 This one starts out a bit watery, but then develops and presents a nice piney, almost grapefruity flavor that leaves me satisfied and wanting more.. For a 7.5 ABV, it presents in a lower-end way that is entirely drinkable... over and over again.

Mar 16, 2009 Enjoyed via 12oz bottle. Pours a deep copper. Nose is wonderful; a tremendous combination of American hops that makes the drinker want to just dump the whole thing on his face. On the palate, this example is obviously hop-forward, but does have an assertive malt presence on the back of the palate. Overall, an excellent example of a classic American style.
