12oz bottle, date stamped 22717, 6.5% ABV
Slightly hazed deep golden body capped by a creamy ivory head. Muted aroma with some apricot, citrus, mango, and caramel coming out as it warms. Earthy and citric hops, fruity mango, peach, and apricot tea, caramel malt and grain, hot alcohol. Medium body, moderate carbonation, harsh alcohol, finishes with modest bitterness. Overall, not a beer I'd recommend or try again. Unfortunately this brewer needs to go back to the drawing board with this one in my opinion.

Aroma is citrus, caramel and a hint of nutty chocolate. The flavor is citrus, fruit, earthy, mild nutty chocolate and a mix of bitter slight dry/tart in the finish.

Dark orange, a little murky. Ample foam, sticks well and lasts a long time. Coverage is very good, a quarter inch head remains for the duration of the glass.
Aroma is mild, tea and bread crusts, caramel malt, vaguely spicy and herbal.
Taste is mellow and bready, hops seem a little faded. Lightly spicy and vaguely resiny, but little in the way of expressive hop character. Medium bodied, slightly sticky. Overall it's ok, but probably not the freshest. Would give it another try on tap, but bombers without dates are a crapshoot.
