Bomber bought at Super 1 in Rathdrum, ID. Aroma is citrusy, piney, dough, light caramel. Pours hazy orangeish-copper with a collapsing off-white head that leaves a ring of big-bubbly foam (is it just me or do all Iron Horse beers have a head exactly like this?). Taste is bittersweet with flavors of citrus rind, pine, soap, floral. Body is on the thin side, carbonation average; lingering bitter finish. Decent.

Bottle - Sweet and acidic and a bit of pine. Cloudy orange with a thin white head. Sweet light malts and a light hop bitterness. Caramel and sweetness, more like an English style. Still nice.

Cool label and name idea. The 22oz bomber pours with an amber to copper colored body that supports a tall tan head of foam. The aroma has a mix of malts, slivers of molasses, muted citrus hops and some floral hop notes. The taste starts with bitter tangelo and grapefruit hops as it moves into a thin body experience about midway. The hops stay bitter but become laced with resiny notes from time to time. There is a decent malt backbone to this that’s well off in the background.

Grumbler purchase from the Breeze in.
I poured this into a pint glass.
The appearance is a deep hazy orange color with less than a half finger-ed white foamy head. There is some light semi - sticky lacing gracing the sides of the glass.
The smell had some nice citrus - like aspects over top of some burnt caramel malts.
The taste was mainly malty sweet. There was a dry citrus aftertaste with the same finish.
On the palate, this one sits about a light to medium and gives off a pretty decent sessionable aspect to it. Carbonation seems to be fairly harsh and pounds my tongue into submission.
Overall, good APA worthy of having again. It might not be anything over the top, but still good.
