On tap at golden Valley brewing. Pours out a golden topped with a white head. Nose is a nice pine some floral hops and a little sweet caramel malt. Taste is more of the pine floral hop combo and a biscuit malt.

On tap at Golden Valley, pours a hazy pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out piney hops and just enough biscuity malt to back. Flavour is very clean, with piney hops, some fruity and floral notes, and just enough biscuity malt backbone. Clean and hoppy, with excessive drinkability.

Draft - Sweet grapefruit and pine. Clear gold and a decent white head. Bright grapefruit notes and a nice pithy bitter finish. Solid.

Keg at the Beaverton brewpub, 11/11/14. Lightly hazed golden orange with a moderate off white head. Nose is caramel malt forward, candied fruit peel, light tropicana, sweet tunes. Taste comprises caramel malt, light orange, straw. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Medicore IPA, just about ticks the style boxes, pretty dull.

On tap in Beaverton. Pours a clear copper color with a large white head. A nice nose of caramel and pine. The flavor is a clear easygoing light IPA with low bitterness, dry, caramel, pine and light lemon. Enjoyable.

Bottle thanks to blutt59. Pours with a small off-white head that goes over a hazed golden body. Very faint aroma with a few faded (nearly British like) hops. Some honey, dough and biscuit following. Taste is better and slightly herbal hops, with a bit of citrus, with a short duration. Light carbonation and dryish mouthfeel.

Draft at the brewpub as Chehalem Mountain IPA. A hazy golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet malty and citrusy. The flavor is sweet malty with strong notes of grass from the hops, leading to a dry bitter finish where the grass sticks on the tongue.

Bomber from Liquid Solutions. Firm citrus aroma backed by a bit of roasted malt. Slightly hazy orange amber color with a head that never really arrived. Medium body with fizzy carbonation. The flavor is citrus hop fairly well balanced with caramel malt. Grapefruit is noticeable. Very nice feel. The finish is less than dry but really set off by decent bitter. This may be underrated, or perhaps I got lucky with this bottle.

Hazy golden/orange coloured body with a very thick tan coloured head that lasts quite a while for a year-old beer. Aroma of fresh lemons, oranges, hops (of course) and some white sugar. Medium-bodied; Strong hoppy flavour up front with a good malty kick and a subtle sweetness fading to a pleasant bitterness. Aftertaste shows more of the same, a good malt backbone with potent hops up more noticeable. Overall, a decent IPA - nothing amazing...but good to try! I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Whole Foods in Portland, Oregon, purchased one year ago, sampled on 26-October-2007.
