Bomber pours brilliantly clear gold with copper core and off white head. The aroma offers up juicy grapefruit and tangelo as well as lime peel, spicy hops and an herbal like sensation with hints of sugary sweet malts off in the background. The taste is quite bold with grapefruit, tangelo and tangerine like citrus notes that lean more toward bitter hops than flavor hops. Lots of yummy hops here with only echoes of sweet maltiness well of in the background.

Bomber pours clear copper with gold hues and white head. The aroma is a mix of red and white wine like notes blending into pears and aged yet varied spicy yeastiness. The taste is very similar with pears, apples, white wine notes, dry red wine notes and then a modest load of yeasty spiciness. Overall fairly abusive brew with fruity booziness.

Bomber from Malt & Vine. Pours very hazy orange amber with a creamy 2 finger off-white head. Aroma seems to be light stone fruits over mild caramel. Some florality. Med body. Flavor is roasted malt with a bunch of mixed hop. Enough hop for it to be harsh and burning. So it’s good. I think it’s resin with a lot of grapefruit rind - but it’s mixed, so I’m uncertain. Tho I’m certain it tastes really hoppy!

Bottle, 22oz. A clear, golden body is topped by a big, quite dense, off-white head. A bit weak on the nose, certainly hop dominated, with pine cones and resin. Some citrus peel. The flavor is quite bitter, lightly malty, with citrus peel and pine cones. Full-bodied and nicely carbonated. Lasting bitterness in the finish. A quite nice one, but a bit one dimensional. 110827

Frisch hopfig-grasiger Antrunk, weich, vollmundig. Im Mittelteil dazu blumig mit angenehmen Zitrusnoten im Hopfen. Das Bier ist trotz seiner Intensität süffig und überraschenderweise kaum bitter. Fruchtig, frisch, stark hopfig – ein spitzenmäßiges IPA! Wenig trockener Abgang, die Fruchtigkeit verschwindet hier schnell. Gerne wieser! 12/12/13/11/10/12

Bottle at CP&K thanks to Ken. It pours opaque black, with a thin foamy tan head. The nose is sweet caramel, toasted sesame seed, coffee liqueur, nut, polish, burnt malt and Horlicks. The taste is caramel, toffee, charcoal, burnt malt, roasted malt, bitter chocolate, nut and crispy bacon, with a long dry-roasty finish. Medium body and average carbonation. Good effort.
