22 oz bomber. Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a thick foamy white head. Very faint aroma of yeast and hops. Taste is very bland revealing bitter hops,yeast and not much else. Drinkable but not very good.

This started out nicely with a refreshing aroma of sweet caramel and toffee covered by tart oranges, grapefruit, and pine. Good looking pour, too, with a slightly hazed yellowish amber body - - although the huge fizzy head got to be somewhat annoying. The flavor was a bit of a let-down, a balanced blending of all components but leaning only ever so slightly towards the PNW hop bitterness. Very drinkable, but the bittering hops need to be boosted a bit.

Piney and floral aroma with a fair amount of fruitiness; sweet front end with a smooth, moderatly bitter tail; clean and caramelly, citric fruit and a little musty flavor; rounded palate. Pleasent and average PNW IPA.

Thanks to kenb for this one. The balance in the may be in its malt profile but there is a lack of hops in the nose. Lots more hoppiness in the flavor. Almost has a Bitter taste versus what I would consider as IPA taste. Not a bad little at all

22 oz bottle from Roth’s. Pours a hazy golden copper with a small head. Aroma is of pine, grassiness, and grapefruit. Flavors start out with some bittersweet orange, then some pine, and a grapefruit finish with a strong malt backbone. A bit thin bodied. Good refreshing English/PNW style crossover IPA.

Bomber, Liquid Solutions. Pours medium golden in color with hints of amber. Sweet lightly citric hoppy aroma. Mildly bitter with a little bit of spice. A pvc sort of flavor going on. Not a really good IPA. Most APA’s I’ve had seem to have more hop character than this.

Pours hazy orange/brown with a small and diminishing white head. Aroma of pine and grapefruit, but lightly, as in a tea. Palate thin and watery. Moderate bitterness with a slight mineral finish. Malt aspects are severly suppressed. Very mild caramel malts. We should expect a lot more from an IPA.

Bottle courtesy of wohlfs. Amber with huge off-white head. Highly carbonated, almost unibroue like. Aroma has some earthy-floral character, but dominated by a soapy smell. Flavor again is all soap, with some residuel malt flavors and that’s it.
