12 oz. bottle, pours a hazy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma of apples, oranges, candied sugar, caramel and yeast. Flavour is quite muted, with yeast and dry green apple upfront, followed by some candied sugar / sweet malt, and a slight alcohol burn on the finish. Low complexity - the flavours sort of die toward the end. Decent but unremarkable tripel.

Clear pale amber color, small white head. Fruity apricot aroma. Medium-bodied. Flavor is also fruity ... apricot, mango, alcohol. Not very complex, tastes like a good malt liquer :)

Babyfood banana and wheat bread aroma. Crystal clear amber, thin head. A bit watery, especially for the style. Little body. Vague attempts at peach and banana flavor, but it comes across as artificial. Some breadiness. It tastes like someone diluted a mediocre tripel and made it worse. Disjointed, weak, and artificial. On top of that, the alcohol content is a bit magnified. I’m not a huge fan of tripels, but I can tell when it is good or not. Sadly, this one isn’t good at all.

Bomber pours clear copper into thick wide tulip glass supporting an off white head. The aroma offers up pears, apples and spicy yeast notes. The taste is pretty sweet and similar to the nose with ripe red apples mixing with pears as well as some yeasty spices and faint tart apple skin tannins. Into the finish I get a mild level of banana like notes joining in too. This is doesn’t get too sweet.

Bomber from Total Wine in Roseville. Pours orange tinged gold with a large foamy/fizzy/creamy off-white head. Aromas of yeast/spice and light stone fruit - perhaps even a hint of pineapple. Full bodied. Flavor is not so strong as it might be - but there’s definitely fruit and some light spice. Pretty drinkable.

12oz bottle. Murky amber-brown. Nice, mellow hop and amber/caramel malt aroma. I’m not the biggest Amber/Red fan, but this one is pretty solid. Big hops up front, but also a big, rich malt presence. Sugary, sort of sticky specialty malt feel. Big hop bill more than balances it out. Quite a well-executed beer.

Hazy amber coloured body with a copper glow and a very thin, fast-dying tan head. Aroma of fresh light piney hops, some light sugars, a bit of caramel, a good strong malty note and some strong apricots and peaches - potent. Light to Medium-bodied; Nice assertive piney and earthy hoppiness with a good caramel sweetness soon afterwards, a strong malt backbone throguhout and a piney bitterness at the end from the hops. Aftertaste is almost all bitterness with some light sweetness throughout the finish. Overall, a good IPA, not great, but a good balance of malt and hops and a good caramel sweetness noticeable at all stages make this an IPA worth drinking a few more of. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased at Total Wine in Manassas, Virginia on 13-February-2011 sampled at home in Washington on 03-April-2011.

Bomber from Total Wine West Richmond, VA. Pours a dark hazy brown with a thin tan head that fades quickly. Aroma of sweet chocolate malts. Almost like tootsie rolls. Weird. Caramel, cocoa, a faint bit of roast. Similar taste. Sweet malts, caramel, milk chocolate, cocoa, roasted malts a bit of a nutty note. Medium bodied. Weird one.

Bomber from Total Wine West Richmond, VA. Pours a slightly hazy copper color with a fizzy medium sized head that fades to nothing almost immediately. I’ve gotten longer lasting head from Coca-Cola. Yeesh. Aroma of sweet, grainy caramel malts with a bit of diacetyl. The taste is grainy malts, caramel, leafy hops, mild diacetyl, bitter vegetal finish. Thin-medium bodied. Not a good effort.
