Bomber from Bottle Barn in Santa Rosa, CA. Pours deeply ruddy copper with a creamy/bubbly beige head. Aroma is pretty roasted malt with some herbal hop. Near full body. Flavor is very roasted malt, with a brown sugar aspect, and the hop is hard to pin down. There’s a lot of hop, but this one is malt dominate. Drinks pretty good.

Draft at the brewpub. Pours dark amber with a creamy light beige head. Aroma of lightly roasted - like "red" ale - malt. Med body. Flavor is slightly harsh roast malt with a lot of fruity hop. Finishes just slightly on the malty side. A bit more malt and fruit flavor than a typical ESB?

Tap at the brewpub. Pours amber with a white smear on top. Armoa is very hoppy, floral and fruity. Starts pretty malty, and the malt is always right there, but it has a balancing floral hopiness with some underlying citrus. Maybe even resin. There’s a lot of hop. It’s maltier than some, but it’s extremely tasty.
