Pours orange/amber into a shaker. Slight off-white head with good retention. Resin and grapefruit aromas. Upfront caramel with a lasting pine hop finish.

Nice clearish orange/amber coloured body with light golden highlights and a very thin off-white head. Aroma of fresh grassy hops, caramel, figs, malt, toffee and definitely some butterscotch. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong hoppy flavour with english hops the most noticeable, fading to a full malt backbone covered with nuts and toffee - a bit of alcohol to speak of at the end too. Aftertaste shows some figs & raisins with some tobacco and light leather tastes near the end. Overall, a good beer - full of flavours, just not exactly sure which style this hits most - a mix between a lighter barleywine and a stronger esb - interesting! I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from K&E Beverage in New Paltz, New York on 21 January 2008.

Courtesy of Beerlando. This is probably the second longest beer name I’ve rated and entered to date (first being McGuire’s I’ll Have What the Gentleman on the Floor is Having, BW). Pours deep gold with lasting white head. The aroma has green spice hops, mild malts and more green (wet hops maybe) hoppiness. The flavor is the same as the nose with greenish wetish tasting hops that are both floral and mildly spicy. About midway the bitter hoppiness peaks. Into the finish and after taste the malt and hop notes fade evenly away.

Bomber, opened around a campfire in the middle the vermont wilderness - cloudy orange pour, with an aroma of semi-stale hops and artifical-smelling maltiness - flavor of cereal grains and sweet malt extract - that "Rock Art taste" from their house yeast dominates too much - strong, but not plesant bitterness - astringent - not even the beauty of the vermont countryside can salvage this experience.

Hops hops hops, all day long, hops hops hops while I sing this song... or drink this beer. So Rock Art finally made a beer that isn’t total crap. Well it may be total crap but one wouldn’t know because you can’t taste anything but a hop load of hops. I mean its cool enough with a strong aroma of bitter tangerine peel and fresh air leafiness. My 22oz bomber pours a light very muddy orange color with a small but strong head. Taste is bitter bitter hops of grapefruit. Basically, think of the peel of a yellow grapefruit and hats the taste. A medium-light body and a long bitter aftertaste. Rock Art bills this as an ESB cubed but this is really a DIPA.

Poured a orange amber with reddish hues and a slim, off white, lacing head. Smells very good, citrus, pine, candy, light fruits, slight perfume. Taste was very pleasant with more of the same with more malt, heavy citrus. Finish starts sweet which takes an edge off a lingering bitterness.

Very pale gold body has just a shade of light copper. White head atop it is medium-large in size, somewhat rocky and slowly fades to cover, leaving light lacing. Clear, filtered and quite bubbly.
Tomahawk hops (most hops actually) are extremely perishable and leave a dirty, catty smell and flavor when they arent fresh and crisp. Not to say that these were stale or anything, but there’s definitely a dirty, cat litter sort of nose going on. The cohumulone levels are low on these, so they dont overwhelm with bitterness and though they are still extremely high in alpha acids, it seems like they used these pretty well and added them more on the backside of the boil and via dry-hopping. They give off a very strong, slightly sweet lemon-tangerine aroma, with a bit of peachiness that tends slightly tropical. I wouldnt say this is exactly bursting with aroma, however, as the lemon is rather subtle and there’s a dry, somewhat dull paperiness, not to mention the slight dirtiness. Malt is very pale considering theyre calling this an esb. Mostly honey and creaminess, with only light touches of very light caramel malt. It matches the hops well, though. Anything else would destroy the delicateness of this variety, I think. Alcohol is mostly concealed in the nose.
Lemon and more sweet fruitiness in the flavor is dried out by a rather bland, biscuity/crackery sort of note. Only towards the finish does some light caramel and honey add some sweetness back to it. All the while, moderate dextrines give a surprisingly full texture, despite the fact that the beer is obviously quite filtered and force carbed. Dirtiness from the hops persists and it tastes a lot like my bad homebrews and others that I’ve had. Lemony flavor, with light herbal notes get rather boring towards the end. A moderate amount of hop acids don’t seem to have anywhere to go, either, and build up on the palate. Moderate alcohol apparency upon warming.
