12oz bottle pours out a crisp golden copper topped with a white head. nose is big grain malts earthy pine hops. Taste is more of the malty bread notes a bitter pine earth hop and a odd bitterness on the end.

On tap at Toronado Seattle. Amber. A little bit dull and a bubbly head. Has some biscuity, caramelly aromas and woody hops. Similar palate, woody, a bit sticky, but nicely balanced. I hardly even miss the hop aromatics.

22 Oz bottle. Pours a clear golden copper with a big foamy head and lace. By the way, I love these bottles that v are a little more than just a bottle. This one, for example, tells a story. Call me lame, but I feel like that adds to the whole beer enjoying experience. Aroma has toasty malts, and subtle bitter hops. Flavor is a lot of cereal hops, pine, and some light citrus. No complaints here. Just a solid IPA in my opinion. I’m okay with being the guy that likes it more than everyone else. Good stuff.

Hazy amber color with small compact head. The aroma is mild, simple. It has a lean caramel profile, some malt flavor too, light residual sweetness, correctly bitter, with some hop resins; the final is just slightly nutty and with a hint of vegetables.
Decent IPA, clean, but it doesn’t fully deliver the required hop freshness.

Bottle: Pale golden/orange pour with a large fluffy beige head. Nose is a little soapy, grainy, and grassy. At first sip it is obviously flawed... dirty florals, grain, and that plastic/phenolic taste. Too bad; the first brew I’ve had from these guys and it turns out to be a drain pour.

Bomber poured into shaker. 7% ABV. Bought at Stein’s in Rathdrum, Idaho. Pours a slightly hazy golden with a medium-sized pillowy bleach-white head with nice retention; leaves some neat spidery lace from the top of the pour line. Hundreds (thousands?) of tiny bubbles float to the surface. Doesn’t look like your average IPA. Aroma is grapefruit, citrus powder drink, fresh buttered bread. Not much pine in there for a North Idaho brew, in my opinion. Taste is bitter, but it has a sugary-sweet flavor to balance it out. It isn’t like caramel malt-sweet, which would be typical for this style; it’s just sugary. Odd. It also has a chemical taste and there’s a flavor here that is reminiscent of wort. Again, odd. Carbonation is low and the mouthfeel is creamy; medium-bodied. This is a weird beer. Not bad, just weird.
