Bracing floral hop aroma. Tickles the palate. Coppery amber color with a massive frothy head that laces. Medium bodied; light carbonation. Like it were bottle conditioned, mate. Light caramel malt sweetness, balanced by fruit and flowers. A bit gummy sweetness as the finish approached. The finish is very florally flavored and balanced. It is really very good. Mild and flavorful. Great.

At The Happy Gnome during the RBSG 2007 Pub Crawl. Hazy amber body with a medium creamy off-white head. Sweet citrus hops aroma. Grainy malt flavor with a citrus hop background.

Cloudy amber, lasting beige head.Nice fruity nose.Light malts with a light hop finish. Drinkable, but nothing special

Bomber purchased at Countryside Liquors Clearwater, FL for only $3.39. Seems like a steal.

Pours a light copper hue with decent off white head and lacing. The aroma is of pungent floral hops that are strong enough to put out real floral hop spiciness. It also leans toward smelling wet hopped too. I can’t pick up any malts hiding behind the hop bouquet. The taste starts with pine and floral hop bitterness. It may not be pine creating the extra bite to the bitterness but rather an intense floral spicy hop bitterness. Nicely done too. Other big floral hop beers I’ve had don’t have manage to create the balance with the aid of this unique bitter hop spice kick. Once the whole hop experience has wrapped around the tongue a few times a rich pale and slightly grainy maltiness comes to the surface to squelch out the hops. The beer ends with mild floral hop flavor and residual malt sweetness. Rather yummy, all in all. The best English type IPA I’ve tried to date.

Clean hoppy aroma, like floral backed by citrus. A light touch of caramel malt. Amber color with a white head that is substantial. There’s a tad of lacing. Medium bodied, creamy, almost chewy. Moderate carbonation. Starts with caramel malt and floral hop. The finish is not quite dry, and the malt and hop seem well balanced. The hop finish seems a bit citrusy. It is really tasty.

Bottle. Great citrus hop aroma. Pale amber gold color with a frothy white head that laces. Medium bodied. Moderate carbonation bite. Starts with citrus hop, backed by a moderate amount of malt. Almost juicy. The finish is nicely bitter with some citrus hanging around.

Well I liked this quite a bit, it reminds me some of Rogue Brutal Bitter, which I like. Anyway, the nose was hop dominated, initially lemon-citrus focused, with hints of pine, but it became more floral. If I’m not crazy, these were Goldings hops in large quantity. Touches of biscuit hiding beneath it. Towards the darker side of amber, full head. Flavor was crisp and very clean, it may be in English in inspiration, but this was an american yeast. Caramel and biscuit malts, resiny and floral hops. Finish was balanced. Palate was medium. Not sure of the strength, but this bomber went down easy and fast, and I could feel a little something when I was done.

Bottle from John’s Market. Darker malt aromas packed by some resiny hop. Reddish amber color with a beige head that froths and laces. At least medium bodied. Lightly carbonated. Turns creamy as the foam departs. It has Xmas spice flavors, malty sweetness, some background bitter. The bitter stays to the finish, but I can’t characterize it, as the malt and spice stay around. It is really good, and not so sticky as many winter ales.
