Bottle: Dark amber pour with a rich, creamy tan head. Nose is malty with a subtle spice. Picking up the ginger and orange peel per the description. Flavor has an increase in intensity, relative to the aroma. A little more maltiness along with a strong orange and ginger presence. Picking up a little cinnamon too, which I could do without. Still, this is flavorful and refreshing overall.

Draft: Golden pour with a light haze, fluffy little white head. Nose is lively with fruit and yeast, so is the taste. Fruiter in fact than I really expected. Citrus abound! Light wheat notes and just a little yeast. Actually pretty darn good without the usual spicey and wheat done up in this style.

22oz bottle picked up at The Grapevine in Pocatello
Appearance: Pours hazy dark amber with a medium sized foamy beige head and lots of sticky lacing
Aroma: Pine resin and caramel
Taste: Full mouthfeel of citrus, caramel with bitter sticky pine finish
Very nice and tasty. Bitter and hoppy, just the way I like it.

Bomber from Brewforia. Wild child. 4 fingers of creamy beige head over 2 fingers of copper/amber liquid. Aroma is floral/citrus over light caramel. Near med body. Flavor starts with floral, goes to light roast malt, moves on to citrus. Donβt know about the hop asserting, but this stuff is pretty darn bitter. But the floral does its best to hang in. If you like bitter, this is likely one for you.

Bomber from Brewforia. Good to be #10! Pours very dark brown with a frothy 3 finger light tan head. Mild cat piss aroma. Med body. Strong cat piss, aka citrus, flavor over some slightly burnt malt. Itβs so hoppy itβs astringent - or maybe thatβs the burnt malt. Cleans the nasal passages - good stuff. Good stuff on repeat.

Bomber bought at Fairway in CDA, ID. Pours a clear copper with a medium white head that collapses after a minute or two. Aroma is tart huckleberries, grain. Taste is sweet and tart with a dry hoppy finish. Carbonation is average, body thin to medium. Pretty good.

22oz bomber pours clear amber with tan head. The aroma has a good deal of rich nearly vibrant winter spiciness and then heading into roasted malts and some spicy anise like black licorice. The taste is similar where I get spicy anise infused Christmas cookie and black strap molasses. Well behind those notes are echoes of malts and faint dark fruity esters. This is a darn tasty winter type brew
