Sparky27 (1559), Phoenix, Arizona, USA Oct 13, 2009 Bomber courtesy of scrizz. Pours cloudy orange with floaters and a thin off-white head that lasted and left nice lacing. The nose is ripe citrus and caramel. The taste is ripe citrus, tart grapefruit, caramel malt and a long lasting oily resin finish. Medium mouthfeel. Good IPA. Thanks Clint! JDPriley (3), Alabama, USA does not count Aug 14, 2009 Great Beer! Brought back from my friend Chris after his trip to VAncouver Canada! Non commercial unique flavor. White creamy head, clear and sparkling, molasses and light aroma, full body slighlty fizzy, wonder character! kenb (1100), Oregon, USA Aug 12, 2009 22oz bottle from Scrizz via Mys Swap 4 (big thanks!). Pours a hazy amber with an average white head. Nose is fruity esters and some hoppiness. Taste is most perfumy, soapy, grassy, herbal hops and a bit of biscuitiness. Finish is thin and astringent. Carbonation os moderate, body is light. Semi-dry finish. A decent IPA. jtw (942), farmington, Michigan, USA Aug 12, 2009 22 oz bottle brought home to detroit all the way from seattle. pours a hazy light orange-amber with a thin whitish head, and catty and dusty-smelling hops emerge first. some pale malt behind, with some grapefruit but it’s not overly citrusy beyond that. reasonably balanced aroma for an IPA, not over-the-top hops. slightly bitterer in flavor than aroma, but still a woody green hops bitterness. medium-to-full body, with a medium-dry finish. a fun beer, i’d like to get a hold of some more stuff from this brewery. Beardface (977), Eugene, Oregon, USA Apr 25, 2009 22 oz bomber from a market near my buddy Dave’s in Seattle. Pours a clear yellow color with a small white head and some solid lacing. Solid aroma of grapefruit, pine, orange and some graininess. There is a definite astringency to this beer which throws off what would have been a damn solid IPA. Still not bad though. Beerlando (2284), Orlando, Florida, USA Apr 8, 2009 Bomber. Pours a cloudy, glowing, medium orange amber with a golden sheen. A small, frothy, cream colored head fades quickly, leaving some nice tapestry lacing on the glass. The aroma includes grapefruit, orange peel, lemongrass, and some kafir lime, with a floral, perfumy overtone and a light malt base of toffee and honey kissed grains. Flavors display nice balance between sharp citrus hoppiness and lightly sweet toffee, but something (I’m guessing the heavy grain notes) just seems to dull things a little bit. The palate is lighter than it should be and a little under carbonated, finishing with bitterness and a mild astringency. There are some nice qualities here, but the whole package just fails to come together for me. bu11zeye (5430), Frisco, Texas, USA Apr 5, 2009 (22oz bottle) Pours a lightly hazy yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of grapefruit, pineapple, pine, mango, and passion fruit. Flavor of hops (floral, citrus, earthy) and caramel malt with a dry, bitter finish. Cletus (5002), Connecticut, USA Mar 24, 2009 Bomber courtesy of scrizz. Pours a hazy amber with a rocky white head. Smells of citrus, melons, caramel, yeasty, resiny. Tastes of grapefruit, pepper, melon, resin and caramelly on the finish.
