Bomber from Bevmo. Cleaner and medicinal aspect. Slight orange. Appearance is hazy orange with chunky white head. This was either infected or massively over carbonated. Hops barely recognizable on flavor. Strong bitterness is harsh. Paper in the finish as well. Reminded me of many IPAs from the mid-90s that lost their way.

Bottle from Bevmo. Pours hazy orange, medium creamy beige head, nice lacing. Aroma is oranges, cardboard, pledge, perfume. Flavor is light plus sweet, quite bitter, harsh finish. Oranges, pine, perfume, definite lemon pledge thing going as well. Medium body, strong lingering bitterness, some acidity. Um....

Bomber from CraftShack. Pours clear dark ruddy copper with a transient, and slight, beige head. Aromas of roasty malt, tea, and perhaps chocolate. Med body or so. Flavor is nutty, tea, roasty malt, and arguably some sort of hop. It’s not heading towards dry, but it’s not excessively sweet. I’m still viewing it as malt and tea. Decent drink.

On my flight of six beers at the brewpub (Irvine) on 7th July 2014: the sample glass was enough for me. Slight haze to the body, the white head made it look respectable. Dry and citrusy from the off: grapefruit notes in both the smell and mouth. Not my cup of tea, did not like the Rye and grapefruit mix at all.

On my six beer flight and then a pint at the brewpub (Irvine) on 7th July 2014. As the name suggests, this is beer with a red hue to it’s colouring, on top a small grubby white head. Fairly sweet nose and taste, malts leading the way, caramel and mild toffee notes sitting on a fruity/floral base. Number two in my scoring of the six I tried.

On my flight of six at the brewpub (Irvine) on 7th July 2014. Not a Hefeweizen as I know them. Looked like one, a cloudy off-orange. Expected some vanilla and banana aromas and taste, no such thing hit my senses. Bog standard and uninteresting wheat beer with a lack of flavour and character.

Golden with a white head - Malty aroma - Clean malt taste with hints of bitterness - Short malt finish - This was an ok pilsner, nothing more
