Brewed to honor the brave souls who kept our brewpub open in the early 90’s while wrecking balls tore down the mall around us. Dry and smooth, with a grassy, citrus aroma and honey malt middle.

Medium offwhite head. Yellow body with strong carbonation. Fruity herbal honey aroma with funky earthy notes. Dry-sweet, and very faintly acidic, fruity herbal peach taste with funky notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft, smooth mouthfeel. Dryish resiny herbal fruity aftertaste with grassy funky notes. Nice and unusual, but perhaps a little tame. (0.65l bottle, Fish & Beer, Copenhagen. Rated again with exact same score.)

Bomber. Bought at Super 1 in CDA, ID. Pours a hazy orange-gold with a medium white head with good retention; leaves some cobwebby lace. Aroma is nice and full of Belgian yeast; also maybe some buttered bread. Taste is sweet and spicy with a light bitterness. Has a fruity tart finish. Body is medium-full and the carbonation is medium. Really good--for an expired beer. I just noticed the date: 180 days from 9/21/10. Beer seemed to go downhill after the first glass, lowering some of my scores, and no, I don’t think it had anything to do with me knowing it was expired.
