Tap bowsers. Hardly any aroma, if any. Creamy thin head. From the start this is a fresh clean hoppy flavor, yes its bitter, but its never has a dull attitude like so many ipa. Big and crisp. If you like this kinda thing, try it. Wew, quite a knock down hoppy thang. Bitter blast. Not as mouth coating as most, Much more flavor than my lager loven taste buds can get accustom to. Finish is fresher impressions than most ipa and

Bottle, picked up at the Winco. Pours a bright golden yellow with a persistent white cap. Spotty lacing. The aroma is bright citrus hops, noticeably the lemondrop hop. Taste is bitter with citrus and floral hops. At this point, its distinctly lemon. Lingering floral finish. Nice body weight. Different, but good.

Bomber. Aroma is bready, lemon, pepper, clean. Pours slightly hazy golden with a nice off-white head with great retention. Taste is highly bitter backed by a candy sweetness; flavors of lemon, candy. Perfectly creamy mouthfeel and tight carbonation. Really tasty, but a tad too bitter to be truly awesome.

On tap at Red Cow North Loop. Pours a clear gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges and laces. Aroma has a crisp citrus note with a touch of sweet orange and a light grain backbone. Flavor has an earthy citrus note that also has a touch of sweetness, a bit of resin and a light grain backbone.

Bomber from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours bright gold with a white head. Aroma is pleasant lemony citrus. Med body or better. Flavor is oddly bitter with lemon suggestions of candy. Except it’s not sugar candy! It’s quite bitter. It’s smooth, lemony, not extremely harsh, but hoppy and bitter as, well not as can be, but pretty much so. It’s "fresh" and it drinks like a dream.

22oz bomber pours with a crystal clear pure gold body that supports a full dirty white head of foam. The aroma offers up grassy lime and lemon along with a blend of biscuit malts and kind of a lagery yeasty fruity ester sort of sensation. Interesting. The taste delivers a pleasing dose of hop bitterness and citrusy lemon and lime nuanced juiciness. To midway it gets grassy as the light biscuit to pilsner like malts intercede amid the hoppy notes. The malt bill and the slight lagery sensation are kind of throwing me here. Pretty good but . . . this just isn’t working for me.
