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.

Bottled 500ml. -from Vrutak Zagreb. Clear amber coloured, small off-white head, mild caramel nose. Sweetish malty, light caramel, herbalish hoppy and slightly watery with rather bitter finish. Drinkable but usual bitter.

Thanks Vran for sharing this with us! Poured a clear amber body. Herbal hop aroma, dry caramel notes. OK nuff. Taste... well... there are some nice English citric / herbal hoppy notes, but the mouthfeel is null and void almost, just too dry, being offset by the bitter finish. Seems like a hop profile that would match a slightly better-bodied beer. Well... any improvement on the body would be a large improvement. Meh.

Shared bottle. Pours amber with an off-white head. Aroma of caramel and biscuit. Taste is malt, caramel, and bread. Mildly bitter. Overall, it’s bland but easy to drink.

Pours golden brown from the bottle. Aroma is caramel with a dash of turpentine. Taste is sweet with the sugar noticeable but by no means dominating. Overall remains sweet, and ends with a light bitterness at the finish. Relatively light bodied. Okay.

Medium beige head. Clear deep amber body with light carbonation. Rye crisp bread and lemon zest aroma with dusty caramelly notes. Dryish malty grainy taste with dusty lemon zest notes. Mid-to-light body. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dryish lemon zest and generic fruit aftertaste with roasty dusty notes. A nice, drinkable, pleasant bitter. (0.5l bottle, Systembolaget, Charlottenberg.)
