22oz bomber pours clear copper with deep gold edges and semi tight light tan head. The aroma offers up tart grapefruit notes along with sort of earthy stale malts as well as a bit of sweet malty biscuit maltiness. The taste has a mix of tart grapefruit and almost a lime like sense blending with sweet malts, a touch of caramel malts and a slight, yet pleasing, buttery note. The sweetness and faint sense of butter balance the bitter and tart hoppiness. Pretty easy drinking IPA.

22oz bomber pours hazy gold with copper hues and tall off white head. The aroma has a good deal of spicy hop notes, a touch of lemon like citrus and sort of an herb grassiness. The taste is pretty fresh and crisp with tangy spicy hops that are thinly rimmed with a lemon to lime citrus sensation. Pretty nice stuff but there is a slightly out of place tart to acidic feature here.

Bottle: Dark yellow pour with a billowy white head. Aroma of huckleberries it fairly sweet and intense. A little fruity up front before finishing soapy and a befuddled floral/wheat taste of both sour and herbal notes. Not good.

Very dark brown color. Grapefruity, roasted malts, a touch of mocha in the nose. The mouth has tons of roasted malts with great dark fruit character with just some minor note of citrus. Full bodied, excellent balance. Very enjoyable. Light bitter finish with lingering citrus.

Bomber from Brewforia. Pours light copper with a foamy/frothy 4 finger near-white head. Through the head the aroma is principally floral. Med body at least. Frothy carb. Flavor is light roast malt - very light roast - under a lot of hop. Mostly floral - tho itβs not perfumey. Thereβs a good amount of some kind of non-citric fruit. Iβm thinking they used one of those new-fangled hops. Whatever, it is certainly not the harsh NW style, but it is very hoppy and Iβm sure our cousins over the pond would be amazed and delighted.

Bottle - very dark brown pour with a modest creamy brown head. Aroma of florals and light roast. Tastes heavier with roast and finishes clean with floral bitters. Nice transition between the dark roast and the floral hops. Good.

Bomber into dimpled mug. Pours dark brown with amber highlights showing through when held up to the light. Has a small beige head that dissipates into a resilient blanket of foam. Aroma is bready, nutty, syrupy, milky; has faint notes of anise. Taste is lightly sweet and just a tad bitter. Has a nice nutty flavor but the body is thin. Enjoyable.

12oz Bottle Thanks to JohnGalt1. Pours a hazy straw topped with a white head. Aroma was of sweet huckleberry, spice, malty sweetness, and some light hop notes. Taste was much as the aroma not over the top on the berries. A nice sweet honey and a little malt.
