Bomber from Bottle Barn in Santa Rosa, CA. They’d kept it in the frig case. Pours a ruddy amber color with a decent beige head. Lots of fresh citrus fruit for aroma. Rather full bodied with lots of foamy carbonation. It’s pretty astringent and bitter. For me it’s a tossup whether I’m getting grapefruit rind or pine. Seems very fresh and lush. Finish is dry.

220z bottle picked up at a Bridgeport brewhouse in Portland. Thick and murky orange-brown color with a thin soapy head. Aroma is quite hoppy and sweet. Solid earthy hop characteristics, sort of an amped up APA. Lots of orange citrus notes. Big malt bill gives it a solid backbone, standing up the the hops. I let this one age for 6 months, I’d assume the freshness has mellowed out. Piny and sweet with that great fresh hop earthiness, this is a beer worth seeking out.

Pours clear copper with tan head and spotty lacing. The modest aroma emits layers of hops from spiciness to floral and to citrus with a sweet mesa of maltiness underneath. The taste begins fresh and lively with hops bringing in notes of citrus, green-ness, grapefruit, grass, a bit of pine and a dash of orange hard candy. The hops go from late boil addition flavor to bitter and then back to flavor again. I get consistent modest malt sweetness creating a decent base for the experience.

Not sure of the year, but I assume it was the most recent. Bottle on 12/06/2008 at the James River Homebrew Club Christmas Party. Slightly hazy amber body with a medium frothy white head. Citrus and floral hop aroma. Caramel and citrus hop flavor. Medium body with moderate carbonation.

Bottle: Amber pour with a medium sized beige head. Sticky bits of lacing. Sweet and citrus in the nose with some florals. Tastes a bit sweet, but floral hop based. Somewhat meddled with a bit of rye? Good, but I’m not quite sure about this overall...

Bottle pours out a cloudy orange topped with a sand head. Aroma of citrus and light sweetness. Tast light hops and a nice bread malt. A little more hop aroma than tast.

22 oz bottle courtesy of DA. Pour is orange ruby, cloudy with a thick 2 inch tannish white head. Pretty spider web lacing. Nice looking. Aroma of fresh resin hops, more faint than expecting. A bit of matliness in there too. Taste is resin hops, muted bitterness, faint pine. Nice balance with the malt. Nice fresh and tasty beer. Palate medium with a bitter dry finish. Thanks Derek.
