Bomber from Beverages 4 Less in Santee, CA. Pours hazy light amber with a 3 finger foamy/frothy beige head. The nose is very fruity - mostly ripe light stone - peach/apricot. Full bodied. The flavor is very fruity/hoppy. With just a hint of caramel below. But enough to hold all this hop. With time the flavors reduce towards canned peach, then on to citrus rind. Really delectable.

From the 3/2012 3R6P tasting. My first beer from this brewer. +++ Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured a black color with a small brown head that left a bit of lacing. The aroma was cocoa, coffee, anise and floral hops. The flavor was malty with moderate coffee and hints of anise, cocoa, toffee, wood and floral hops. Medium length finish and medium body. Ok.

Pours a rather cloudy golden yellow with mid-sized head. Strong citrusy aroma (almost smells like orange juice). Big hop flavor with citrus notes and an underlying sweetness. Nice bitter finish.

Bomber thanks to Richard. Pours a very cloudy orange color with a thick white head. The aroma is rich oranges and lemon. A rich, very dry flavor with citrus, dried orange peel, some light bitterness but not a lot, smooth and creamy. Very dry. A nice showcase of the Falconer’s Flight hops. Grapefruit and dry earthiness. Well done.

Draft at the brewpub. Nose is black pepperiness, with some pine, hints of bubblegum, and caramel. Hazy yellow orange with a small pale yellow tinged head. Mild peppery kick that escalates as you froth it in your mouth and pull in more air. There is mild bitterness, pine, and caramel with a yeasty note. Probably the best pepper beer I’ve had. Not overdone on the peppers, nicely balanced.

Bottle. Thanks to Secret Santa. Pours hazy golden with a small lasting creamy head and lacings. Orange, lemon and pineapple. Dry and bitter. Slightly oily. Citra no question but also some orange and some other hop. Not sure this is entirely fresh or perhaps it is just the mix of Citra and Amarillo?. Not sweet malty but some caramel and more malty than expected. Tasty nevertheless. Smooth and dry finish.

Bomber from the brewpub (too busy drinking the specials to try this on draft). Nose oozes bitterness, along with citrus, pine and pumpernickel bread. Hazy copper brown with a big, lightly lacing beige head. Flavor is nicely bitter, with hints of bread a little background chocolate. Very nice rye ale!!!

Draft pint at the KR 5th Anniversary Release Party. Nose is grapefruit, pine, lemon, with a bit of yeast. Murky yellow amber with a medium pale yellow, long lasting, lightly lacing, head. Flavor is lots of grapefruit and bitterness, pine, and a little caramel backbone. Finishes with a nice, long lasting bitterness.
