On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a hazy blonde with a small creamy white head. Nose reveals notes of citrusy hops, some earthy notes, and a touch of caramel. Flavour brings out stone fruits, a sharp bitter resinous hop profile, and some caramel. Sweeter than I expected from the colour and nose. A bit cloying on the finish, which detracts some points for me. Decent, but too sweet for an IPA for me.

Hazy light straw-tan with a thick creamy head. Aroma is very grapefruity, orangey, with maybe some phenols. Stacks of hop...intense bitterness...grapefruit, touch yeasty and marginal malt. Different...really intense.

650 ml bottle. Pours an amber color with light head. Aromas of grass, citrus, and toast. Flavors of lemongrass, pine, and toasted malts over-ridden by a very strong bitter finish. Seems to be very different from the other ratings...

Bottle - Sweet fruity hops with a great malty caramel backbone. Clear gold with a rich off white head. Very sweet, but bitterness balances well. Like candy and hops, very nice.

Crisp copper coloured body with a one centimetre tall tan head with a lot of movement in the body - nice. Aroma of bread, yeast, grassy and herbal hops and a decent amount of malt. Medium-bodied; Assertive resinous and medicinal hop flavours with a lot of alpha acids and bitterness, some metallic twang going on at the end and a deep malty finish. Aftertaste shows a good hop bite with a pungent kick of alcohol and metal and a little malt. Overall, a nice IPA with perhaps more of a metal and bitter flavour than hoppy, but good none-the-less. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Bottleworks in Seattle, Washington on 11-January-2013 for US$4.99 sampled at home in [the real] Washington on 19-February-2013.

Bottle from Community Food Co-op - N Forest St, Bellingham, WA
Amber color with orange hue; medium sized creamy head, persistent. Nice hoppy aroma, strong, fruity and resiny; it has a mild but nice manure touch. Good toffee flavor, but with a bit of chewyness too; arrogant hopping, carrying loads of resins and some fruits, providing a mild earthy vein, and leading to a very long final; yet, it has a few notes of freshness.
Bold IPA, with a peculiar character.

Bottle purchased and consumed at Brewforia Beer Market, Meridian, ID. Was glad to see an offering from near my old stomping grounds, NW Washington. Faint woody aroma with little in the way of fresh hop notes. A nearly clear rich copper color with a faint soapy head that managed to maintain a skin on the top. Sharp bitter flavor but woody with not much citrusy or piney character. A nice heavy palate. Bold, bitter and heavy duty, but missing some of what I like from my favorite IPA s

Bomber from Malt & Vine. Pours copper with a very slight beige head. Aroma is clean mild caramel with some nice resin. Med+ body. Flavor is a submerged caramel backbone with some resin and floral hop - lots of hop. It’s very smooth, very sophisicated. Would really like to see if they could turn this into a DIPA and maintain the wondrousness of this.
