From bottle to pint glass. Weird metallic and cardboard aroma with some earth. Nice looking enough hazy deep orange with white head that leaves a collar. Cardboard and malt with a dank-like grassy hop background. Lots of oxidation and phenols here. Watery mouthfeel with a dry finish.

Bomber from Beer Revolution. Pours dark ruddy copper with a creamy beige head. Smooth sweet roast malt aroma with a touch of spice. Med body. Flavor is roast malt with enough bitter to pretty much balance. As the malt wends away, there is a strong bitter in the finish that seems to have grassy aspects. Tastes nice.
