A clear blonde pils with a thick lacing white head. In aroma, a classic light chalky malt, lightly grainy. In mouth, a smooth refreshing pils with biscuitty malt, light czech hops, a nice summer pils. On tap at Hair of the Dog, Sept. 4, 2010.

Bomber from Malt & Vine. Pours light gold with a foamy white head. Aroma is slightly bready and mildly grassy. Medium body with moderate carbonation. Flavor is light malt, with a little (very little) spicy hop. There’s a bit of paper when the liquid flows away, but it is decently bitter. Spiceily so? Tettnang? Definitely drinkable.

Nice crisp amber coloured (surprising, huh?) body with a thin tan head. Aroma of bright hops, grapes, caster sugar, malt and a touch of nuts. Medium-bodied; Strong malty flavours with caramel and nuts very strong and a hoppy finish. Aftertaste shows a resiny hop finish and a strong malt and caramel end. Overall, a good beer - better than most Ambers, but still showing some off-flavours and not such a great finish. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Total Wine in Chantilly, Virginia on 14-July-2010 sampled at home in Washington on 18-September-2010.

(Can - courtesy of rosenbergh) Poured amber and clear. Head was dense, white and medium sized. Aroma contained citiricness, pine needles and fruitiness. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were hops, pine, citiricness, malts, sweetness, bisquit and bitterness. Aftertaste was malty and bitter. Pleasant aroma and quite balanced flavour.

Bomber from Malt & Vine. Pours orange/gold with a foamy white head. Aroma is lightly fruity. Near medium body with near fizzy carbonation. Flavor is rather rose. Tastes like rose smells. Gonna take getting used to. Interesting. The rose carries on into the finish. It’s neither sweet nor bitter. Well?

22 oz. bottle, split with manuchampions, pours orangey amber with a small off-white head. Aroma of piney hops and caramel malts - very nicely balanced. Flavour of super pungent piney hops that carries through all the way, with a great lingering bitterness. Superseded my expectations.

355mL can, pours golden / copper with a medium white head. Aroma of potent pine hops, grapefruit and citrus. Flavour is a piney hop blast all the way through, with hints of grapefruit, citrus, and a little caramel sweetness. Wonderful IPA.
