Bottled. An unclear amber beer with a huge yellowish head. The aroma has notes of citrus and hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of elderflowers, malt, caramel, and hops, leading to a dry bitter finish.

Bomber that somehow made its way to a PA bottle shop. The mysteries of this state still elude me. Anyhow, aromas are very good... lots of tropical fruit (mango and light citrus) with some pine. Body is a deep orange and supports a very frothy head that is leaving some wonderful lacing on the side of the glass as I jot down my thoughts. After my first sip I’m wondering who has been hiding this gem from the rest of the world. It has a couple of flaws (a watery mid palate development and a slightly astringent alcohol presence in the aftertaste) but I can overlook most of that for the sheer hops and malt bliss that this brings to the table. Lots of pine (more than in the nose), a bit of mango and some well balanced caramel malt. Darn... this is good.

Courtesy of Gillard. It pours clear copper with gold edges and thin off white head. The aroma is sweet with malts mixing with floral hops and some grapefruit hop flavors with a light bitter singe. The taste is full yummy goodness with rich grapefruit flavor followed by bitterness as well as floral hops and a solid backbone of maltiness. Very tasty refreshing brew. I can drink this all the time.

Bomber from Ledger’s. Pours amber with a big, bubbly off-white head. Aroma is floral and resin; body is medium and carbonation is frothy/creamy. Flavor is malt, pretty well balanced with floral, fruit and resin hop. It’s a very tasty brew. Rather mouthsmacking. Finishes not quite dry, but that’s not bad. In fact it seems very, very good.
