Bomber from Malt & Vine. Pours orange/copper with a slight off-white head. Aroma is floral and spicy. Med body or almost. Flavor is hop forward with floral and spice (and everything nice), and the support is somewhat bready malt. Could almost say caramel. It is quite hoppy. Good drink.

Nice crisp copper coloured body with a thinnish tan head. Aroma of caramel, malt, alcohol, light grain and a bit of brown sugar. Medium-bodied; Assertive grassy and herbal note up front with a large yeast and brown sugar presence, with some hints of apricots and light fruits. Aftertaste shows a refined palate with the malt and grass coming out first, then followed by the unfinished brown sugars and a touch of airy wheat. Overall, a nice beer and even better when you consider it’s a lager! I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased yesterday at Belmont Station in Portland, Oregon on 03-May-2015 for US$4.99 sampled in my hotel room here in Portland on 04-May-2015.
