A pretty hoppy and strong double IPA, I liked it and had it courtesy of Jamie from the Ninkasi brewery.

Jul 21, 2008 Pours caramel with a white head. Smells earthy with a floral nose. Tastes bitter with a weird artificial cleaner finish.

Jul 18, 2008 PIB, tap... Poured orange with a white head. Really citrus (like candy sweet) hop aroma. Chilling palate that’s well in carbonation. Flavors of hops and sweet citrus and some cracker-malt. Finishes smooth. These guys make great IPAs.

Jul 17, 2008 Appearance: Pours a clear, orange body encircled with a ring of white bubbles.
Smell: Aroma of citrus and apricots with no more than a light touch of malts.
Taste: Slightly bready maltiness with a bit of caramel sweetness. Taste of grapefruit rinds and apricots. Punchy, medium-high hop bitterness. Touch of alcohol on the drying finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: A passable Double IPA.

Jul 17, 2008 Bomber poured a clear amber with a lasting light amber head. Aromas of carmel, eathiness, grapefruit, light orange and a hint of pine. Palate was medium bodied and smooth with a lightly dry finish. Flavors of carmel, light grapefruit zest, light orange and light pine with a smooth lingering bitter finish.
I’m very disappointed in this beer coming from Oregon. Lots of bitterness but seriously lacking in hop flavor and aroma.
