Mar 15, 2008 3/5/08 From the bottle. Aroma is a little muted, and makes it tough to determine if the sweetness is coming from caramel malt or hop flora. A slight earthy hop bittering marrs it as well. Appearance is a hazy orange with a low off white head. Flavor is fairly balanced, but starts off with earthy hop bittering that fades with time, but still lacks sufficient flora to smooth out the flavor. Mouthfeel is medium/low bodied with a medium carb feel. Overall, not too impressed; it seems, quite literally, a little rough around the edges.

Mar 8, 2008 Bomber. Clear, dark gold with a massive off white head that descends rockily. Lots of carbonation bubbles. Really nice nose - mild white grapefruit, some fresh cut grass, light pine and caramel notes, a bit of tart orange. Light, sweet flavor of sweet malt and lemon-lime, a bit of bread and pine. Light body, very bouncy carbonation. Stupid drinkable, but the rather bold nose is not backed up by the flavor. Light, dry finish.

Mar 6, 2008 A nice golden amber color with a large bubbly white head. The aroma is really sweet and malty without much hop presence. The flavor is a nice sweetness with a piney hopness. The finish is a bit dry. Good drinkable pale.

Mar 6, 2008 Nice head and lacing. The aroma is very faint, not much hop presence. Some sweetness. Flavor has quite a bit of malt sweetness. Prickly, piny hop profile. A bit numbing to the tongue actually.

Mar 6, 2008 Pours a clear gold, with a thick, creamy off-white head that does not die. The aroma is really nice - clean and sweet, with some honey and lemony citrus notes. The flavor doesn’t quite stand up to the aroma, but is pretty solid. Light yet malty with a little bit of lemon hop bitterness in the finish. The mouthfeel is very light and refreshing, but the carbonation is a little bit overdone here. This beer would be great come mid summer, but for the moment I’m going to have to call it ’good but not great’.

Feb 28, 2008 22oz bottle from Andronico’s on the Sunset. Pours an orangish amber color with a big, white, somewhat frothy head. Moderate lace. Smells crisp and grainy malty. Tastes crisp and malty, somewhat sweet and sugary, wheaty. Medium body, nice active carbonation, smooth. Pretty good beerm haven’t seen it in SoCal though.

Feb 23, 2008 Pours with a fanfare of foam. Laces my glass horribly well Perfect hop aroma. Mild malt flavor and milde sweet malt aftertaste. Puts mass produced american pale lagers (bud, miller, coors, to shame, pitifully so). This is what you colleze kidz should be enjoying fter rush on a hot summerz day! Ridiculously refreshing!. It’s actually good, no, great, for a pale ale, and pale ales suck generally, and you’re hearing this from an IPA’s biggerst fan. Keep that in mind.
