Thanks to BuckeyeBoy for trading this to me. Pours a medium slightly hazy orange with a big white head. Also some nice sticky lacing. Awesome pineapple, grapefruit, piney hops and light malts. Flavor is slightly dry and bitter. Piney, malty and citrus. What a beautiful sticky mess this one is. I love it.

Bomber. Pours a beautiful clear orange with a creamy white head and huge lacing. Big citrus hop aroma in front of subtle floral notes. Nicely balanced flavors of citrus, floral, sweet carmel malts, and piney notes. Medium and oily mouthfeel. Nice lingering bitterness. IPA or Imperial IPA? Either way, each swallow is worth savoring!

Out of a Bomber in Tokyo of all places. This is agreat IPA. Perfectly balanced no element overpowers any other one. Piney and citrus hops with wonderful frutal and floral overtones. Just fantatic everything is deftly executed. If you’re in Oregon and get to have this frequrently you are very lucky!

Bomber pours out to a completely clear shade of bronzey orange, producing a brilliantly creamy head. Sweet valencia oranges and grapefruits soothe my nostrils after an intial blast of teary-eyed habanero spice. Subtle pine, mild butterscotch, pears, and a touch of garlic precede the grapefruit assault, which slowly gives way to a soft, clean finish. Strikingly balanced. A thriller.

22oz. bomber. Clear light amber color with a medium sized white head. Grapefruit hop aroma with some sweet caramel malt in the background. Quite bitter hoppy flavor. Lots of grapefruit, some tangerine and leaves your tongue searching for the malt backbone. It is there, way, way in the back, like it is afraid the hops are going to kick it’s ass. A bit too one dimensional for me, but I did rather enjoy it.

Pours a lovely clear gold/orange with a thick and creamy off white head. Aroma is a nice combination of earthy and citric hops, seems like many varieties employed. Other noted aromas include bready malt, pine, wild flowers and freshly picked oranges. Flavor is hop-centric but the malt profile is lovely and balancing, leading into a very complex but mild finish of the highest caliber. Palate is awesome too, long and refreshing, begging the next sip. Over the last two years, multiple stabs at this have proven it to be very consistent, I long for this beer at random intervals now. A very well rounded and satisfying IPA.

Bottle shared by sliffy, thanks! Pours orange with an off white head. Aroma of earthy hops, sweet malt, and some caramel. Flavor of pine and earthy hops and some sweet malt. Medium body with a bitter/clean finish. Not bad.
