Bottle, home. Nice looking beer. Red, translucent, big creamy head. The aroma is mostly sweet caramel malt. There’s a relatively strong hop character - citrus fruits, wildflowers. The flavor is a bit too sweet, despite the hops. The hops are a bit blandly bitter once you actually take a sip. Mouthfeel is just ok. Good beer but needs a bit more delicacy and less sweetness.

Bottle: Pours a beautiful reddish-amber with a small, creamy beige head. Nice bits of lacing. Smells hoppy and sweet that relates mostly to citrus and caramel. Light hints of resin. Taste is full and flavorful with citrus hops, fruity sweetness, raisons, toffee, and the sweetness of candied sugar. Gets a little ’hot’ in the tail, with hints of the abv poking through. Still, a fun and tasty winter warmer.

Bottle pours a murky redish brown with a small tan head. Aroma of woody brown sugary malts and some metalic piney hops. Flavor is more woody and metalic. Earthy and fairly bitter but not much flavor that I can fondly describe. Just a murky, muddy mess. Tree bark bitter trailer, and a feeling of utter disappointment. I have reason to expect greater things fron this brewer. Maybe next time.

650ml bottle. Clear red/brown body with a big beige head. Aroma is malt, caramel and lots of hops. Flavor as a nice, powerful balance of malt, sweet caramel and lots of hops. Fine, rich body and a long flavorful finish. An interesting and well made mix of IPA and red ale.

Bomber from Liquid Solutions. Deep malty aroma with hints of hop. Dark, really garnet color with a frothy beige head. Medium body with mild, creamy carbonation. Flavor is roasted malt (typical red) and pine and grapefruit. Light stone fruit esters parade around the middle, and the finish is well balanced. Very tasty.
