Bomber, labeled as 9.24% abv - clear copper beer, with a soapy, bright white lace - very earthy hop aroma, with simcoe being the most prominent - some notes of boiled vegetables and fruity sweetness in the nose as well - fairly thin for the style, but it manages an oily mouthfeel none-the-less - kind of astringent bitterness, and strong fusel alcohol - the alcohol adds a spicy dimension, though, which compliments the herbal, peppery hops - moderate sweetness couples with the herbal character to impart a tea-like quality - thin, one dimensional, and fairly hot - over-rated - and this is their highest-rated beer! - I shan’t be trying any more.

Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival 2007. A hazy amber beer with a thin lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet hoppy lending it notes of both grass and grapefruit. The flavor is sweet mlaty with notes of caramel and lots of hops giving it notes of grapefruit, but also with a light alcohol note, leading to a dry bitter and grassy finish.

Hmm... odd, my 750mL wasn’t as bad as you guys would have had me believe. Pours with a somewhat large, rocky, off-white head covering a clear amber body. Caramel malts, hay and alcohol, and something rich smelling. Taste has lots of caramel, some fruity, but pretty watery overall. Watery-fizzy mouthfeel.

Pours with a small, thick, off-white head. Hazy amber body. Good lacing and pretty good retention. Aroma is strongly floral, with apricot and some grapefruit. Truely a good smelling beer. Smooth sweet taste, not extremely hoppy at all. Very mild bitterness. Creamy mouthfeel, a very easy drinking DIPA.

Considerably better than their kolsch. Light orange color. Hop aroma with citrus, some orange. Sweet malt body. Bitter with citrus. Good. Better than average.

I was hoping for a good, fresh kolsh. Sadly this is pretty bad. Well carbonated and lots of bubbles on the tongue. Slightly acidic. Very light, like a pale lager.

Bottle from J’s Bistro. Pours a copper golden color with a small white head that diminishes quickly to nothing. The aroma is hoppy and citrus. The flavor is a sweet hops and hides the alcohol well. A good IPA from Steamworks.

650mL Bottle. Pours a clear amber color with a small white head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is very malty with caramel. Decent lacing on the glass. The taste is a bitter malt and a bit watery. Not too much going on with this one.
