Bomber from Sam’s Quik Shop. Pours a very slightly hazy copper color with a thin off-white head that fades quickly. Aroma of caramel, nutty notes, earthy hops and a bit of toastiness. The taste is earthy with some caramel malts, slight metallic notes and pretty astringent. Lingering bitterness, low carbonation, medium bodied. This is a mess.

Served on draft at the taproom. Pours a clear golden color with a medium sized fizzy tan head. Decent head retention. Aroma of intense citrus notes, buttery malts and something that reminds me of the yogurt I had the other day. The taste is similar with that same yogurt thing going on and some grainy malts. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Served on draft at the taphouse. Pours a clear copper color with a creamy tan head. Decent head retention. Aroma of earthy notes, toffee malts and a fruity finish. The taste is toffee, earthy notes, berries and something a little bit off. I suspect it might be the taplines more than the beer itself. Medium bodied, average carbonation, pretty solid other than that off-flavor, which is sad, because that was all keeping me from REALLY liking this beer.

Served on draft at the restaurant. Pours a clear golden color with a large creamy tan head. Good head retention. Aroma of candi sugar, pale malts, tannins, something chemical and some booze. The taste is banana, citrus, bread, spice, tannins. Medium bodied, spritzy carbonation, wine-like and a little all over the place, but still good.

Draft. Decent citrus aroma. Taste is extremely bitter throughout, a bit too over the top for me.

Draft. Bright orange amber color, large tan head. Fascinating aroma of caramel covered popcorn, totally unique. Taste is sweet and malty with a burnt edge. Nice.
