On tap at Bomber. Pours a clear deep gold with a white head. Faint citrus and yuzu on the nose. Flavour has faint pine, citrus, and a bready malt base. It's okay, could benefit from more hops.

On tap at Bomber, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma has English bready malt, diacetyl, and a touch of toffee. Flavour definitely has that diacetyl that you sometimes find in English cask bitters—somehow it’s not a total dealbreaker—with English bready malt, some hoppy bitterness, and dry toasted notes. Not bad.

Amber, white head. Slightly cloying malt fore with Lasting medium hop bitterness. Like many collabs, somewhat disappointing
