Sample at Daily Growler UA. Hazy yellow-orange color with a medium thin white head that recedes quickly to a film. Short strings of lacing. Aroma of wheat, fruit and malt. Medium body with flavors of wheat, banana and malt. The finish is fruity with a banana and spice aftertaste. Decent overall.

Bomber from Bottles N Bins in Monterey. Pours hazy orange gold with a large yellowish head. Aroma is orange, hints of banana, but unexpectedly roasty malt. Med body. Flavor is orange, arguably banana, and somewhat roasty malt. Not bad.

Bottle: Hazy, amber-orange with an off-white head. Grainy, orange/banana scent. Taste is a bit bready, sweet orange malt, slightly spicy banana. Not great....but points for being named after a tiny rodent.

22 ounce bottle into weizen glass, bottled on 6/5/2015. Pours hazy golden orange color with a 2 finger dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a good amount of streaming carbonation retaining the head. Aromas of big lemon zest, orange peel, peach, pineapple, banana, bubblegum, clove, wheat, bread, light honey, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Fantastic aromas with great complexity and balance of bright citrus/tropical hops, fruity/spicy yeast, and moderate bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big lemon zest, orange peel, peach, pineapple, banana, bubblegum, clove, wheat, bread, light honey, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Light amount of earthy bitterness/yeast spiciness on the finish; with lingering notes of lemon/orange peel, peach, pineapple, banana, bubblegum, clove, wheat, bread, light honey, floral, grass, and herbal/yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Damn nice complexity, robustness and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, moderate citrus/tropical hops, and bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitter/spiciness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready, and lightly crisp mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is an outstanding hefeweizen. All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/tropical hops, fruity/spicy yeast, and bready malt flavors; and very smooth and crisp to drink for the ABV. The aromas were much stronger the citrus/tropical hops as expected with dry hopping. A lot of it did carry over into the flavor as well, but it was much more balanced with the standard hefeweizen flavor profile. A highly enjoyable offering all around.

Refrigerated brown bomber poured into a weizen glass. Orange with medium white head. Aroma is herbal hops/cloves, medium body (has some weight), some carbonation, and pretty good big-bubble lacing. Taste is clove, citrus, some honey, and some banana. Nice richness of favors, different than most, and pretty good.
