AG78 – Bomber

Posted on by

Type: Best Bitter Date: 02 Nov 2015
Batch Size : 30.00 l Brewer: Jono Thompson
Taste Notes: Clone of Wells Bombardier (and rather stronger!)

Loaded with distinct English brilliance, Bombardier is the very epitome of impeccable taste and great character and the full-bodied nectar is a lingering reward – English, ever reliable and damned tasty! Bombardier has a rich, tempting aroma of peppery hops and raisins, while the palate is dominated by more dark fruit, juicy malt and tangy hops.
