Growler @ Armin’s house, courtesy of Azurescens. Thanks Dan! Clear golden appearance with a fluffy, white head. Pretty spicy, light clove, sort of husky wheat aroma. Well carbonated. Pretty rich bready, spicydull, grainy wheat flavor with notes of lemon and honey and a bit of tartness. Some acidity from the carbonation. Easy drinking and a nice summer beer.

Sample at the brewpub. Black pour with a medium thin and creamy light beige head that diminishes steadily to a film. Slippery patches of lacing on the glass. Aroma of coffee and malt. Light body with a sweet roasty character and notes of mild coffee and chocolate malt. The finish is short and sweet with a chocolate aftertaste. Pretty average overall.

Bomber from Malt & Vine. Pours golden amber with a near white head. Whoosh! The aroma is so hoppy. Floral/resin/citrus/fruit. I think it’s all there. This must be a hop head’s dream. Med+ body. Flavor is very complex. I’d swear there was onion in this, over and above floral/resin/citrus/fruit. Onion’s a veg, right? There is some clean sweet caramel for backbone, but this is so hoppy it almost burns like capsaicin. Finish is almost cactus flavor with so much hop. My idea is that heat goes with cactus. Forget that. This is really complexly hoppy. Amazing stuff! Drinks fantastically tasty.
