Named for the World War II aircraft, this beer was brewed initially by Mitchell’s in Lancaster, England. When Mitchell’s retired from brewing, it was picked up by neighbor Thwaites and they turned it into a major brand. In 2014 Marston's took over production of most Thwaites beers after the closure of the latter's main brewery. Banks's already brewed Lancaster Bomber under licence since 2014 but now Banks's is part of Marston's and the beer has become a Banks's in house beer. So you may see this beer branded as Banks's or Marstons.

As your run of the mill amber bitter goes this is pretty solid. Bitter hop, malt, a dash of citrus. Nowt special but there's nothing wrong with it either.

Kicsi, örökké tartó hab, bronz szín. Fűszeres ízek, egy hajszálnyi karamelles vonással. Illata gabonás, némi fűszeres beütéssel, viszont csak kitöltéskor érezni, később teljesen illattalan. Száraz, könnyű, épp hogy nem vizes, közepesen szénsavas, enyhén keserű. Eléggé visszafogott, erőteljesebb ízvilággal elfogadhatóbb lenne, de így csak ígéret marad.

Fles gedeeld door Roelzie1986, thuis geprobeerd. Het is een donker bruin bier met een medium schuimkraag. Het heeft een moutige geur, een beetje karamel achtig. De smaak is moutig en karamel achtig, licht gebrand.

Bottle from Vrutak shared with Jolly Rogers at a rehearsal. Clear amber, minimal head. Nice hoppy aroma, fruity, toasty malts and red fruits. Dry, balanced but very faint. Light body, creamy texture, soft to moderate carbonation, lightly malty finish. Started promising, ended as an average bitter.

A coppery beer, a head is almost medium and blond. Aroma is mild, wood and some toffee. Taste is nicely fresh, wood, some sweetness of toffee, balancing bitterness. Lihgt+ bodied. Traditional, but in a good way, nicely fresh.
