22 oz bottle poured. Pours a clear copper color with a thin foam ring head. Sweet caramel malt aroma. Sweet fruit and hoppy IPA, quite tasty. Doesn’t taste on the edge of imperial ABV. Overall a nice IPA.

Bottle from Total Wine, Lynnwood, WA; 7% ABV
Amber color, quite dark, with red hue; medium sized creamy head. Nice aroma, blend of caramel, leafy hops and pine resins; and a hint of frankincense, The body is lighter than expected; some caramel flavor, correct bitterness, but the hop qualities are a bit missing, and the frankincense touch (or cedar wood) seems out of place now; a lingering acidity in the final too is not expected.
Weird. But not bad.

22oz Bottle pours a reddish amber with a dense creamy light tan head. Nice aroma of piney hops and caramel malts. Flavor is bitter and woody. Papery and woody with pine trees again. Feel is heavy and smooth and softly carbonated. Just OK

Bomber from PC Market of Choice in Ashland, OR. Pours ruddy copper with a creamy/frothy beige head. Aroma is sort of zesty citrus over a nice malt backbone. Med body. Unfortunately I am immediately confronted by a large dose of diacetyl. Butterscotch to some. Renders me unable to figure out what else is in this.

Deep amber coloured body with a touch of a copper glow and a thick, three centimetre tall yellowish tan head - very nice looking, slightly darker than most IPAs. Aroma of citrus, pine, flowers, caramel, nuts, earth and a bit of alcohol. Medium-bodied; Assertive malt and caramel flavours at first with a good bitterness then fading to a thinnish, metallic flavour with not much malt, a touch of pine, some earth and a weak, one-dimensional nuttiness. Aftertaste shows this unpleasant bitterness from metal and basementy tastes with a hint of caramel and not much else. Overall, a rather disappointing beer brought back from Oregon, one of my least favourite IPAs, but still worth trying for someone on the East Coast who can’t regularly get this beer. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Belmont Station in Portland, Oregon on 28-February-2012 for US$4.15 sampled at home in Washington on 18-May-2012.

Draught. Orange red with white head. Moderate lacing. Citrusy aroma, some rosiness in there. Full bodied hop flavour, but balanced. They did not try to make this a hop bomb. Bitterish finish.
