Sickboy282 (1098), San Diego, California, USA Aug 15, 2009 Thank you Jak, from work....Pours a slightly cloudy amber hue with a frothy head that fades slowly with nice lacing. Aromas of a touch of cumin, hay, a little touch of hops, a little caramel and a mild touch of pine. Mouth feel is medium bodied with a mild hop bitterness. Flavors of pine, mild carbonation, and a touch of ketchup/cumin. The cascades aren’t as noticeable as the amarillo hops, maybe because I am from so cal which is a cascade haven. Very well balanced for the style that I’m normally not a big fan of. A definite session ale. danielcurtis81 (879), San Diego, California, USA Jul 6, 2009 Bottle Pours a deep 2 toned amber brown with a small off white head. Caramel, malt, and a mild hop bitterness in this one. Nice lite amber with some flavors. grant (792), Long Beach, CA/Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Jun 15, 2009 Sunburnt orange, long-lasting head. Very, very faint aroma - but what’s there is good. Sweetish balanced roastiness. Flavor is moderately sweet and seems to have some spiciness - cinnamon-like. Subdued, but pleasant enough. alexanderj (2213), Chino Hills, California, USA May 3, 2009 Bottle. Poured a dark, reddish brown color. Aroma of caramel, earth, citrus, and fruit. Flavor was actually quite solid and nuanced. Caramel, nuts, fruit, earth, citrus. Palate was close to being creamy and worked quite well. After taste isn’t the greates, but oh well. Solid beer overall. ratman197 (3139), Arvada, Colorado, USA Mar 30, 2009 Bomber courtesy of Odeed poured a clear dark reddish amber with a lingering ring of amber foam. Aromas of cocoa, carmel, light earthiness and light fruitiness. Palate was light to medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of cocoa, carmel, earthiness and black cherry with a smooth lingering malty finish. pantani (1894), Salinas, California, USA Feb 15, 2009 Deep Ruby, almost brown, thin white head. Aroma is malty, light caramel, plums. Taste is fairly hoppy with a mild background hoppiness, faint chocolate. pintsize (1042), Austin, Texas, USA May 3, 2008 5-2-08 bottle shared with lb4lb thanks to Odeed
Brown red amber in color with an okay head. Sweet doughy smell with perhaps some citris in there too. Flavor is bland and watery with a hint of hop residue - but nothing big about this at all. Super thin with lackluster carbonation. Not a horrid beer by any means - just nothing very bold about it. lb4lb (2011), Austin, Texas, USA May 3, 2008 Bottle as one of many generous extras from Odeed. Thanks man!
Pours a reddish cloudy color. Smell is mild caramel malt and light tame hops. Taste is mild as well, with faint hop flavor coming through, but I found this to be lackluster flavorwise. Could be in part to palate fatigue, but still wasn’t overly flavorful. No flaws stuck out, however, and it was an easy drinker.
