Bomber from Corti Bros. Pours clear bright copper with a beige head. Aroma is floral and caramel. Med body or better. Flavor is spicy hop, a little herbal, making me think of tea a bit, and some supportive caramel. It finishes towards dry, and it is bitter. Might be a bit much for some of our cousins! Damn tasty ale.

Bomber as "Pub Ale" from Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Words on bottle pretty well match words in the above description. ABV matches. Pours dark copper with a creamy beige head. Light floral and roast malt aromas. Med body. Flavor seems to have a touch of chocolate, but also mild roast malt and some floral. Decent drink.

Bomber from Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours fizzy copper with a foamy beige head. Aroma of lightly roasted malt. Med body. Rye spice is definitely detectable. Hop is bitter, but hard to identify. Kind of grassy. Makes me think of spicy California Common.

Tap at Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Messed up my notes. Med body. Nice flavor. A bit unusual for the style? Got notes: Flavor is earthy in a strange way that seems to be followed by chocolate. Rather dry, has earth/dust aspects in the finish. Quite different for the style.
