Aug 28, 2009 Poured from a bomber bottle into a pint glass to drink. The beer had a light amber-gold color and was somewhat clear. It had a good-sized, creamy, off-white head with very good cling and retention. The aroma was predominately hops with earthy and grainy tones, a touch of citrus, and perhaps a slight floral character. There was also a mild wheat presence and some barley. The beer had a bitter, grainy taste with a sour effect as well, particularly at the finish; no sweetness here. The beer had a medium-density body with good carbonation, and was very lively, with a dry mouthfeel with an even dryer finish. A very good pale ale overall, I enjoyed this beer a lot.

Aug 24, 2009 This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a medium sized head of foamy finely sized off-white colored bubbles that were mostly lasting and left behind a slightly hazy typically carbonated light orange brown colored body. . The crisp mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish hoppy aftertaste. The flavor contained notes of mild hops hops and mild caramel. A decent one that I would consider buying again.

Aug 22, 2009 Draft. Pours golden amber with medium off-white head. Aroma of hops, citrus, wheat, and malt. Same elements make up the flavor along with some spice and pine. Restraint shown in the amount of hops and bitterness; good example of an APA.

Aug 17, 2009 A golden beer with a small head. Aroma of citrusy hops. Taste was crisp peppery hops, some sweetness, orange & good malt backbone to back it up. Had a slightly carbonated mouthfeel & overall a good pale ale.

Aug 4, 2009 Poured a golden yellow, with a lot of head that held throughout. Aroma was a mix of hops and malt. The hop was strong in the taste department, and the bittering hop was very good in the back of your mouth!

Aug 2, 2009 Bear Republic is often underapprciated, by me, because I forget how tasty their beers are and I guess I take it for granted that I can find their beers pretty much everywhere. The one came from a 22oz bottle and it was really nice. Great beer for a nice California evening.
The beer pours out a deep gold color, clear with a nice fluffed dirty white head. Aroma is citrusy, honey and bready. Flavor has a really nice balance of hops and malts with just enough of each to taste the individual characteristics and the overall blend of them together. Just really a sessionable APA if there ever is one. Kudos to BR for making "another" outstanding beer.

Aug 1, 2009 Bomber, Pours a pretty copper color, that is lightly hazy. It has a large fluffy off-white head. It is well carbonated with a solid stream of bubbles coming up from the center of my Great Divide Tulip glass. The aroma is quite enticing with solid aromatics of American hoppiness, I get notes of grapefruit and tangerine. Really nice balanced hop taste - very fruity - citrus orange the dominant hop flavour. Medium mouthfeel and body. Quite mild actually making this a perfect session brew.
