Drank right from the bottle, looks like its clear pale ale. Volatile aromatic first taste bud impressions. Yes, big and bitter and typical IPA bullshit. Yes, big bitter banging bungalow blasting bastardized bowling ball backdoor bandit badger baked buggerring beached whale. BTW, this is just IPA, not really double or impy IPA. Just saying. There you have it!

Shared 12 oz. bottle. Clear pale amber, off-white head. Aroma of caramel, citrus, floral notes. Taste is caramel, citrus, pine, floral notes, alcohol, with the emphasis less on the hops and more on the sweet malt and alcohol.

Bomber. Malty nose, pine, oranges, caramel. Glowing orange-amber color with a low, fine head. Sweet, slightly boozy flavor of oranges, biscuits, pine, something like orange sorbet. Nice fruitiness.

Hop Thermia 8.5% Bomber shared by KyotoLefty. A deep orange-coper pour with a light beige filmy head of foam. The aroma is very fruity hops with a bit of dankness and caramel. Very sweet pine and fruits while solid it doesn’t stand out in any way.

bottle - Pours clear copper with a light tan head. It smells of hops with citrus and resin. The flavor is similar with strong bitterness, citrus, resin, and underlying bready malts. Very good.

Bomber, best before 1/17/16, drunk 11/6/15.
Clear, modestly carbonated amber liquid has a medium-sized light beige head that shows moderate retention.
Pine, citrus, caramel and sourdough in the nose are bolstered somewhat by some less intense notes of lemon, leafy, dank forest and perhaps some herbal character as well....but it still seems like this is just going to be one big C-hop bomb. Alcohol well concealed in the nose, at least, and there are no flaws noted.
To my great surprise, it’s not a c-hop bomb. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still very citrusy with lots of orange rind and white grapefruit, but the pine gets only moderately resinous on the end and before that there’s plentiful herbal, leafy, almost tea oil-like character. Spicy, dank and pretty well-attenuated, it nonetheless has a good amount of dextrinous body, with moderate warming on the end and lots of bitterness lingering. My only worry with my rating is that they were not intentionally making this a more palateable beer and were actually trying to make it a hop/resin bomb and failed. Which would be very sad, but not something I would put past Alaskan...
