Bomber from Whole Foods Market Columbus, OH. Pours a clear amber color with a large creamy tan head. Good head retention. Aroma of caramel and toffee malts, floral hops, fruity notes and faint nuttiness. The taste is caramel malts, bubblegum, fruit notes and a bitter hop finish. Medium bodied. Pretty tasty.

Sample at Neil’s HSC initation. The beer pours a hazy bright orange color with a medium thin off-white head that diminishes steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel and earthy malt. Medium, clean body with flavors of caramel malt, light hops and a bit of bread. The finish is sweet and malty with a lingering caramel aftertaste. Overall an average ESB that skews too far on the sweet side.
