22 oz. bottle, pours a clear golden / copper with a tiny, quickly-dissipating white head. Aroma exudes loads of resinous hops, moderate tropical fruit character (mango and pineapple), and a generous portion of caramel malt - slight candied sugar component too though not dominant. Flavour has truckloads of resinous hops, not much of the tropical fruits, a perfect amount of sweetness, and just enough backing of caramel malt. Extremely hoppy and quite bitter, though never too puckering on the palate. Certainly a superior example of how you do a Imperial IPA - brilliantly balanced while still being very hoppy but not too annoyingly astringent. Most excellent and highly drinkable.

22 oz. bottle, pours almost clear golden with a small off-white head. Aroma of pineapple, candied sugar, and some citrus hops - hinting at a sweeter IIPA than normal. Flavour of pineapple, mangos, caramel malt, candied sugar, leaving just a small citrus hoppiness on the finish. Too much residual sugar for my liking for a IIPA, but still mildly enjoyable.

From the 6/2012 3R6P tasting +++ Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured an orange-caramel color with a large foamy orange-tan head that lingered and left ok lacing. The aroma was sweetish and tangy caramel, honey, grapefruit and pine. The flavor was bitter and dryish caramel, nut, pine, grapefruit, peach and a touch of pepper. The finish was long, tangy and sour with lingering caramel, pine and grapefruit. Moderately full bodied. Solid.

22oz bomber pours clear deep copper with thin near white head. The aroma pulses with firm levels of grapefruit, tangelo and mango as well as a bit of sweet candy like maltiness. The taste feels Pale Ale thin and sessionable with crisp bold bitter and flavor citrus hops. I get malt sweetened grapefruit and mango and then slight spicy hop notes here and there too. This is good clean fun. Nice!

sweet candy lager aroma. i wish my bomber bottle label looked like the one on the bomber pictured. Lots of flavor in this alky mild beer. very nice head that fades rapidly. taste is somewhat chewy and may i say leathery. pale yellow color. finish is quite beery but not really rude, goes down easy. good sizzle. not as behaved as a real golden or blonde lager but ok none the less. intriguing.

22oz bomber pours crystal clear copper with slightly loose light tan head. The modest aroma offers up an earthy sort of citrus, tart smelling grapefruit and a touch of caramel maltiness. The taste begins with malt sweetened clementines and then some grapefruit tartness mixing with more sweet malts and caramel maltiness. Overall an OK IPA with below average carbonation and a little bit on the sweet and caramel side rather than hoppy.
