Reviewed from notes recently found. Thanks Johnnnniee!
This was poured into a nonic pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy burnt orange to yellow color with a thick white foamy head that dissipated within less than thirty seconds leaving barely any lacing.
The smell started off with a sharp sweet to bitter citrus blending over a decent sweet wheat base.
The taste was mainly sweet balancing a nice tart citrus and a sweet wheat base. There’s no aftertaste but it did have a quick sweet finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. Carbonation seemed spot on for the style and allowing the wheat to be the body of the beer.
Overall, this was a pretty good offering from Henniker. I’d probably have again.

From my son in law, thanks! Bomber. Quality label. Color spins straw into pale. Pretty muddy haze, need a lighthouse. Gives ivory a run for the money. Has a pine freshness on the nose. Palate is somewhat creamy like velvet. Bite better than bark. Big rocky head. A wheat ale fer sure with its hop attitude.

22oz bottle-tight retaining white head with trailing lace-cloudy yellow/gold. A-citrus-lemon zest/spice, some wheat/lt malt. T-lemon juice with the acidity first, then a slight tangy (almost some aspirin) hop bite that doesn’t last, lt malt/wheat-bready. Interesting and close.

22 oz. fresh bottle from Top Shelf Brews. Paid $7.39. Highly carbonated hazy gold color. Huge lasting head. Nose is citrus hops with a herbal note. Flavor is citrus, grapefruit pith and a strong malted wheat backbone. Medium body with a dry texture. Lots of lemon and grapefruit pith in the finish. This will not get you totally excited but it’s well made and I enjoyed it.

Bottle from Bert’s Pours a hazy medium straw color with a good sized fluffy white head that persists forever. Some really nice citrus and pine aromas emanating from within my glass is a nice treat when I was thinking yeast and spice was coming forth. There is some yeast and spice in the aroma and it meshes really well with the hops. The flavor is light bread and spice with a bit of yeastiness and lots of pine and resinous hop flavors to provide a bit of balance. Light to medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a sweet spicy almost resinous mouthfeel. Interesting wheat beer to be sure. I really like the jolt of hops that put a distinctly American spin on this. I would have liked a bit more of the crackery spicy wheat berry to come out here though.
