Received from kyzr via trip to Montana back in 2007. Pours a semi-clear copper colored brew with a thin off-white head that quickly dissipates. Aroma of light caramel malt, citrus zest a hint of lemon and a touch of earthy spice. Taste is fruity caramel malt, with plenty of citrus flavors that overpowers any other flavors. Finish is semi-dry with some mild bitterness and citrus aftertaste. Bottle held up pretty good after two years of aging.

Pours copper with a white head. Smells of caramel, and earthy. Tastes peppery with dry malt and a tea like finish.

Golden-orange color with a nice head. Smooth and creamy texture. Surprisingly complex malts -- intense toast, rich toffee and dark caramel. Some burntness and a pinch of campfire. Earthy hops with dark pine, ripened grapefruit, pear and apricot. Rock-candy sweetness lingered, as did grass. Fitting level of bitterness. Really tasty IPA with some interesting things going on. Solid malt backbone as well.

Appearance: Clear, hardly any head. Taste: Not a whole lot there. Watery and light. Not a strong finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-Bodied Drinkability: Not a strong contenter with the other greats out there! Too easy to forget.

Bomber. Pours clear bright copper with a lacy off-white head. Aroma of grapefruit, fruit and pine nut. Light body and carbonation. Taste of citrus, fruit and caramel.

Appearance: Pours a clear, amber body with a small, white head. Pretty much looks like their PA. Smell: Spicy toffee drops with a few drops of lemon oil. Taste: Sweet, lightly caramelly malts. Hint of lemon oil sprinkled with spice and table sugar (again, like their PA), though with a bit more spice this time. Medium bitterness lingers on into the finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: Strinkingly similar to their Pale Ale, just with a slight increase in the hops.
