Nice aroma of grapefruit and caramel. Amber color. Minimal white head. Thin to medium body with almost chewy carbonation. Starts with caramel or better, and is quickly balanced with that grapefruit hop. At the finish there’s a short burst of kiwi fruit. Then it’s dry and persistingly and pleasantly bitter. Could pass for an IPA.

Bottle courtesy of CBA: Poured a medium amber color ale with a big foamy head with good retention but no lacing. Aroma of bitter hops with some caramel malt notes. Taste is also dominated by some bitter hoppy notes with a nice caramel malt profile. Medium body with some good carbonation. Nothing extraordinary but a well done beer as per style guideline.

Bottle Copper color with an off-white head. Caramel aroma with grass and earth. Thank god the flavor is better than the aroma. Slight citrus/pine flavor with caramel and grass. Medium body - maybe a little light. LIngering citrus/pine, caramel and grass. Nothing too bitter, but a decent hop flavor and enough bitterness.

Bottle courtesy of CBA: Poured a golden color lager with a small white bubbly head with some minimal retention. Aroma of hops is quite dry with probably a lot of Saap hops in there. Taste is dominated by Saaz hops with a dry finish. Body is above average for the style with some medium carbonation. While this is an enjoyable beer, I thought it was slightly too hoppy for the style with some subtle notes of overcooked vegetable which I didn’t agree with.

Aroma of malt and floral hop. Doesn’t get better than that? Slightly hazy apricot flesh color with a white head that filmed quickly. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. The flavor is slightly caramel, with nifty light stone fruit flavors. Very nice in the mouth. The finish is slightly malty, nicely hoppy - fruit/floral rather than citrus/resin. It’s very good to drink.

Bomber from Bottle Barn. Aroma is caramel and light stone fruit. Amber color with a white head that filmed rapidly. Medium bodied with near creamy carbonation. Caramel flavor, watery light stone fruits, and some bitter. The finish is pretty dry, and the bitter attacks the edges of the tongue. As it goes on, the fruit seems to take on an apricot trend. Crisp it is. Also delicious.

Rich roasted malt aroma with light floral notes. Orange amber color with a white head that ringed.The body is little more than thin. The carbonation is extremely mild. Starts with strong bitter backed by a lot of darker malt sugar. I think there’s a little bit of a lot of hops - floral, citrus, resin. The resin comes out a bit stronger after a few mouthfuls. It’s stronger in malt and hop than many an IPA, but it is not as malty and bitter as many DIPAs. The finish is quite pleasant, no harshness, no excess sweetness. A friendly drink that allows appreciation of the many components. Clean and fresh.

22oz Bottle pours out a amber topped with a nice off white cream head. A nice aroma of hops and sweetness. tast is a little thin. Some bitterness and some caramel sweetness. This one was a lot better than I was thinking it would be.

2007 Bomber from Bottle Barn; Nose of floral hops, plums, and caramel; Copper with a medium honey colored head; flavor has a little hop bitterness, brwon sugar, caramel, and raisins mixed with light alcohol. Pretty good and underrated for a young BW.
