Bottle from Whole Foods in Davis, CA. Pours translucent gold with a slight white head. Aroma is mostly roasty malt, light, with not a lot of hop. A little fruit/citrus? Med body. Flavor is fruity. Grapey/grapefruit. Not harsh. Mild roasty caramel. It’s a little bit subtle on several points. But it drinks easily, and has a nice flavor. Very refined/low key. Clean.

Bomber from Whole Foods in Davis, CA..Pours amber gold with a white head. Light floral aroma over mild caramel. Full bodied. Flavor is fruity/earthy. Even spicy. Fruit on tongue edges? Bitter fruit? This is really flavorful, but only mildly burning. Excellent ale.

From bomber to stange. Aromas of wheat malt, lemon and bready yeast. Pours a clear yellow with massive carbonation and full white head. Malt takes center stage with overt noble hops as well. Thinnish mouthfeel. Slightly dry finish and moderate low bitterness. All around pleasurable.

Bomber from the Woodland Nugget. Pours light orange amber with a foamy white head. Aroma seems citrus and light stone fruit. Med + body, or nearly. Flavor is very hoppy. Citrus, pine, ? Not getting much caramel. I think it needs a little more malt to support the hop. Just sayin’. Maybe, just maybe, I’m getting something like blackberry and peach buried way down. Interest, fruity bitter finish.

This beer is a slightly hazy orange-gold color with a medium foamy white head that dissipates gradually to a film. Short strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus, hops and malt. Light to medium body with flavors of citrusy hops, toasted malt and a touch of spice. The finish is moderately bitter with a grapefruit and hops aftertaste. Decent overall.

Bottle. Pours crystal clear orange, small white head that dissipates fairly quickly and leaves decent lacing on the glass. Aroma is citrus, orange, grapefruit, pine, perhaps a touch of caramel. Flavor is light plus sweet, light plus bitter, a bit of a zesty bitter finish from the orange peel, I guess. Medium body, creamy mouthfeel. Not bad, nothing stellar tho.

On tap at City Beer SF, February 2014. (my first one from this brewery) Slightly hazy dark golden with a small white head. On the sweet side with hops, grapefruit, citrus and grass. Also with notes of malt. Fresh but with a fairly thin body. An ok one.
