11/VIII/2012 bomber bottle @ RBBSG - (2012-911) Thanks to Benzai for sharing the bottle!
Clear orange beer, aery off-white head, unstable, little adhesive. Aroma: pretty dusty, bit old, hay, some grains. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: somewhat grassy, grains, some citrus, bitter touch. Aftertaste: bitter, little chemical, unpleasant. Was this an old bottle? If they would put dates on bottles we would know. Alas, they don't...

Bomber from Total Wine West Richmond, VA. Pours a clear amber color with a medium sized off-white head. Good head retention. Nutty and toffeeish aroma with herbal hops. The taste is toffee, berries, earthy notes and a bitter hop finish. Medium bodied. Decent.

Total Wine, Fairfax 650ml ($4): Pours a light amber with a white head. Aroma is spicy hops, with an average malt backbone. I found this beer to be generally unimpressive, and I must admit that I was surprised at the high rating. Nothing was bad here, but this was just a forgettable example of the style alas.

Bomber bought @ The Bottle Shop Canterybury. Pours silly hazy bright orange with a rather small frothy offwhite head that quickly dissipates while leaving some trace on the glass. Smell is sweet with dried apricots, tobacco, dry soil, peaches, overripe pineapple, grass, uncooked green vegetables, cookie dough, pine, caramel, orange zest, hazelnuts, cereal and hints of alcohol. Taste is sweet and bitter with caramel, orange peal, cookie dough, grass, peaches, pineapple, orange juice, pine, dry soil, mango, dry tobacco and hints of alcohol. Mouthfeel is slightly sticky sweet, slightly oily bitter and medium bodied. Finish is sweet and bitter with caramel, dry soil, tobacco, silage, pineapple and orange peal. Possibly old, hard to judge with no date of expiration.

Bottle from Total Wines Ft Lauderdale. It pours deep orange, with a thin white head. The nose is pine, orange, nectarine, peach, apricot and sweaty sock. The taste is orange, apricot, pine, resin, caramel sweetness, sherbet and alcohol, with a bitter finish. Medium body, fine carbonation and foamy mouth-feel. A solid DIPA, but there is perhaps bit too much alcohol presence.

22oz bomber pours clear dull dark gold with near white head and some sticky lacing. The aroma is well, alright, I’m actually not in the mood for butter – diacetyl right now. Behind that are milder notes of caramel and vague spicy tart like hops. The taste sadly is the same but the hops come across with some grapefruit like citrus notes and spicy hops. Hmm. Something a bit amiss here.
