Cloudy gold beer, little white head. Smooth palate, semi dry. Silky malt. A little fresh orange in the mid and then dry grapefruit hop bitterness. Dry finish. Nicely joined up and pretty drinkable.

12 ounce bottle. Pours a hazy amber orange with a medium-sized fluffy white head. Perfumy grapefruit hop aroma. Soft toasted malt flavor gives way to the citrus hops evident in the aroma. Lots of hops here, but not overpowering. Notes of ginger and pepper. Finishes fruity and bitter.

650 ml bottle. Pours a light copper/orange with very small head. Aromas of ripe fruit, oranges, and melons. Flavors of orange, grapefruit, and some caramel with nice malty balance. Nice carbonation though quite smooth. A great beer.

Bomber. 7.6 % ABV. Bought at Super 1 in Rathdrum, ID. Pours hazy cantaloupe with a fast disappearing off-white head that collapses into a soapy collar. Aroma is bready malty, wet river rock. Taste starts out briefly sweet before turning quite bitter. Alcohol is noticeable in the finish. Carbonation is average, body is medium. Nice winter brew.
