Aroma is fruit/berries, malts and mildly earthy. The flavor is fruit/berries, malts, slight earthiness and a mix of tart and mild sweetness in the finish.

Obtained at the Madison East Woodmans. 4 pack of 16oz cans. Note: I went in expecting a farmhouse or saison style beer based on the name, but the website actually lists it as an american pale ale.
Appearance: Pours a slightly hazy golden orange. Really beautiful color actually. Fluffy white head that fades within a few minutes. Thin lacing which sticks.
Smell: Smells of biscuity and grainy. There is some slight earthiness. For an APA I don't get much hop aroma. Maybe a background note of noble type hops.
Taste: The taste is grainy, and slightly sweet. The flavor lingers. I get a slight fruitiness or sweetness potentially from hops.
Mouthfeel: Good mouthfeel. Not too thick or thin. Coats the tongue a bit. Low to moderate carbonation.
Overall: There isn't a lot going on, but I like it. This is exactly the type of beer I want to drink on a porch, and relax with. It's smooth, refreshing, and goes down well. Not exactly what I think of when I think APA, but good none the less.
I feel it's a worthwhile try. It wont blow you away, but there is something down home and refreshing about it.

16 oz can. Nice deep amber/red color, decent head and lacing. Malt aroma forward, cereal like, not a lot of hop presence. Flavor is also somewhat malt forward, with a sweet caramel flavor and mild hops. Mouthfeel was medium, soft and smooth. A well made amber or red ale, not as hoppy as I expected. Would like more from this brewery.

Draft at Belleville Ale House: 3.67
Bomber from Woodmans Beloit. 3.3
Pours a dark copper orange with rapid rising carbonation. Lots of chunky lacing and lasting head retention, good clarity.
Aroma of buttered biscuits, butterscotch candy.
Buttery and malty, diacetyl is fairly present, though wasn't as noticeable on draft. Sticky butterscotch candy. No hops to speak of, which is sort of ironic. Medium bodied, mellow carbonation. This bottle is possibly past its prime.

Light hazy gold body. Nice fruity sweet aroma. Very smooth drinking. Light passion fruit zip on the taste buds. Pretty good.
