22oz bomber pours up with a slightly hazy deep gold body that supports a nearly booming light tan head of foam. The modest aroma offers up candy like citrus that’s sort of honey like where a faint malted wheat sort of note is off in the background. The taste doesn’t seem to have a bold character standing out above the rest but it plugs along with sugar malts, a fruity esters sort of note and then a boozy kind of honey sensation. This seems a little rough around the edges.

Bottle. Pours clear orange, small off-white head, dissipates quickly with some lacing. Aroma is a bit nasty and industrial, paint thinner, honey, herbal. Flavor is better, Belgian yeast, field grass, honey, light sweet and light bitter. Medium body. Not something I am excited about.

From a 20 oz bottle shared at home. Pours a cloudy brownish gold with a thin off white. Aroma of honey and butterscotch. Flavors of caramel apples. Slightly sweet smooth finish.

Bomber from Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours hazy orange/gold with a slight white head. Aroma of citrus, honey and arguably coriander. Med body or nearly. Flavor is wheat, honey, citrus/coriander. The honey tends to stick around in the mouth. Could use a bit more citrus to fend off the honey. Finishes towards sweat. There’s finally something suggesting Belgian yeast. Well made, but one wonders about the honey fixation.
