Bomber shared by maniac at the WWWW Mid Atlantic Summer Beer Tasting. Hazy copper, thin foamy tan head, good retention. Aroma of floral hops and pale malt. The taste is piney, citrus hops and pale malt. Medium bodied, clean, lingering bitterness.

Decent dose of hops. Light virus and Czech like hops. Golden pour with OK head. Light snappy crisp finish. Great for style, easy drinking. Bottle.

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.

Bomber. Pours a clear dark copper color with a small white head. A big sweet fruity nose, some toast. The flavor is ripe robust sweet citrus, fresh, a soft toasted malt base. Very smooth and tasty.

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.
