I was initially a bit taken aback by the name of this one, since it was a word I had only ever heard as being a firmly Newfoundland term, and Bomber is about as far as you can get from The Rock while staying within the Commonwealth. But no, the label notes say this is paying homage to the “oft-foggy days in our eastern-most province”, and speaking as one who once owned a house in pretty much the foggiest region therein, I guess I must admit their usage is bang-on. Hopped with Citra and Ekuanot, and I’m getting the citrus, stone fruit, and melon you’d expect. Decent, but nothing overly exciting. (15/20)
