Draft at the brewpub as Chehalem Mountain IPA. A hazy golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet malty and citrusy. The flavor is sweet malty with strong notes of grass from the hops, leading to a dry bitter finish where the grass sticks on the tongue.

Bright golden-amber. Woody, grassy hop aroma with a good dose of toasty malts. Starts with a firm woody bitterness. The finish gets malty, with a big minerally note and a hint of diacetyl. The minerals I can handle but the diacetyl....such a poor finish is not becoming of this beer.

Poured a medium, cloudy amber color with a smaller off white head. Aromas of oranges and very light grapefruit. Tastes like it smells - oranges with light grapefruit. All citrus. Lightly sweet and very lightly bitter. Weaker body. Not the bitterness I come to expect out of an IPA.

(12oz bottle, courtesy of blutt59) Pours a cloudy golden body with a small white head. Aroma of apple, mustiness, biscuit, and florals. Flavor of hops (floral, grass) and biscuit.

Pours a transparent copper orange with a spotty-lacing white head. Aroma of lightly toasted grainy malts and some earthy grassy hops. Starts with a mild caramel malty sweetness and some earthy bittering hops. Finishes drier, earthy and bittersweet. For a west-coast IPA, I’d expect a much bigger fresher hoppy presence.

Bomber courtesy of hayduke. Hazy/cloudy golden orange pour. There was a thick white head and a nice sticky laciness. The nose is lightly spicy with a little bit of soft bready malts. A bit of light spicy and some soft yeasty doughiness. There is a bit of lightly toasted character that likely shouldn’t be there. It has an unusual minerally bitterness but also an odd sticky sweetness. Meh... I’m not really a fan of this one.
