Hazy deep gold beer, tidy cream colour head. Palate is airy with decent fine carbonation. Softish malts with light creamy sweetness. Hops bring mild pine and hop spice, a little orange peel into floral orange. Some marmalade leads to a light, dry hop spicy finish. Moderate bitter linger. Could be more intense but it’s very drinkable.

Bomber to pint. Clear orange with white head. Citrus fruit and pine. Slight must. The best I’ve had from Hermitage.

Bomber from Wine & Cheese in Clayton, MO. Aroma is slightly toffee with earthy hop. Med body. Flavor is earthy with slightly roasty caramel. Ok.

Bottle. Rich amber beer wit a dark cream head. Grapefruit and light tropical fruit aroma. Grapefruit and pine flavor with light malt. Medium bodied. Good bitterness. Grapefruit and pine lingers with light dust.

22oz bomber pours with a clear copper body that supports a tan head of foam that leaves behind spotty lacing. The modest aroma is briefly citrusy before it turns more malts and a sliver of hop resin. The taste gets to the resiny side pretty quickly with layers of citrus hops and then grassiness surfacing a moment later. Behind the hops are notes of maltiness. The more I drink this the more resiny and pine sap like it seems to get with only narrow streams of grapefruit and peach skin. Pretty nice but I think the malt base gets in the way a bit.
