| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 5, 2008 Updated: Oct 29, 2008Poured hazy amber color from a bomber, minimal head good lacing.
Aroma was a bit of fruity hops.
Flavor is bitter citrus hops with a fair amount of malt backing. Not as crisp as I expect of an IPA. Very smooth though. Could be a session brew. Will try on tap in the future. This beer is hard to find even in Oregon where it is brewed. I have to admit I’ve had APA’s that had more hops. Nice mild IPA. ABUSEDGOAT (1934), California, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Feb 24, 2008 Hazy orange, large head with good lacing and retention. Aroma is floral, spicy and citric hops. Some caramel backing. All in all, very light. Would make a light APA even. Medium to light body, very low bitterness. Bland.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 1, 2007 Bomber from Liquid Solutions. Firm citrus aroma backed by a bit of roasted malt. Slightly hazy orange amber color with a head that never really arrived. Medium body with fizzy carbonation. The flavor is citrus hop fairly well balanced with caramel malt. Grapefruit is noticeable. Very nice feel. The finish is less than dry but really set off by decent bitter. This may be underrated, or perhaps I got lucky with this bottle. jgb9348 (2500), Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Oct 26, 2007 Hazy golden/orange coloured body with a very thick tan coloured head that lasts quite a while for a year-old beer. Aroma of fresh lemons, oranges, hops (of course) and some white sugar. Medium-bodied; Strong hoppy flavour up front with a good malty kick and a subtle sweetness fading to a pleasant bitterness. Aftertaste shows more of the same, a good malt backbone with potent hops up more noticeable. Overall, a decent IPA - nothing amazing...but good to try! I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Whole Foods in Portland, Oregon, purchased one year ago, sampled on 26-October-2007. bb (2919), Martinez, California, USA
