Bomber from Grocery Outlet. Aroma is citrusy, faint caramel. Pours hazy copper with a thick fluffy long-lasting cream-white head. Taste is moderately to highly bitter with citrusy hop flavors. Maybe a little worty, chalky. Definitely not your standard red/amber. Tastes more like an American Pale Ale verging on IPA. It does have a unique flavor (almost Belgian) that differentiates it from the pack which I can't really describe in words. Not bad.

Bomber from Grocery Outlet. 6.2% ABV. Aroma is chocolate, coffee, gun metal, cigar ash. Pours black with a one finger beige head that falls into a big-bubbly ring pretty quickly. Taste has only faint sweetness and a moderate to high herbal hop bitterness, finishing lightly dry. Not bad.

Bottle from Rosauer's. Near black pour with layer of foamy beige head. Aroma brings chocolate first, roast grains, burnt toast. Taste gets unexpectedly sweet, dark chocolate, then some coffee style bitterness. tastes good, body could use some heft.

Draft at Heritage. Hazy golden, creamy, spotty head, tons of lacing. Aroma is grainy, bready, tropical. Usually mango turns me off, very subtle here. Taste is more grains, mild fruity, tropical notes, creamy mouthfeel. Well done.

Crowler from Growler Guys-Kennewick. Dark brown body, small ring of head,nothing exciting to look at. Roasty aroma, some molasses. Taste is roasty too, soft bitterness, hints of sweetness, a nice velvety feel too. Not exceptional, but decent.

Bottle from Smokes N Suds. Deep orange color with a finger of creamy beige head. Nice lacing throughout. Aroma is moderate intensity with citrus and piney hops, a bit sweet and sticky. Good hop flavor throughout, like the aroma it is slightly sweet and moderate in bitterness. Good citrus and piney hop taste. Malt base is evident, but the hop presence is solid. Very drinkable.

Bottle from Smokes n Suds. Copper pour with lots of bubbles, about an inch of creamy beige head. Sporadic bits of lacing. The aroma is soft, citrus and grapefruit mostly with a little maltiness. A faint herbal ice tea sort of thing. Tastes somewhat sweet and modest in the bitter department. Grapefruit and more of the herbal tea. A little malty. Ten years ago this would have been pretty good… a little lacking by today’s standards.
