12oz can from Total Wine in WA
Appearance: A huge gusher out of the can onto my desk, not good. Pours cloudy golden with a huge frothy white head that recedes quickly leaving spotty lacing in the glass
Aroma: Floral, lemon peel and wet grains
Taste: Citrus, caramel, bready, herbal and pine bitterness
A nice hoppy pale ale. Not happy about the gusher, but what was left was tasty

This brew pours a mostly clear dark orange color with a medium bone white head that recedes quickly to an outer ring. Partial rings of lace on the glass. The aroma is hoppy with some pale malt behind it. Light body with flavors of biscuit malt, citrus and mildly bitter hops. The finish is fruity with a short hops aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.

Tap at Fremont, Seattle - 08/11/12. Clear pale golden with a thin white head that soon clears to the edge and forms a pond. This retains well and good lacing ensues. Nose carries floral tones, light malt, touch of citrus, perfumed. Taste of floral hops, pale malts, grain, a little citrus. Medium bodied with soft carbonation leading to a light bitter finish. Ok drinkable fayre - nowt special.

Bomber bought at Super 1 in CDA, ID. This bottle says 5.6% ABV. Pours hazy orange with a thick cream-colored rocky head with excellent retention and cobwebby lace. Aroma is citrusy hops backed by bready malts, neither all that assertive; I also get a bit of grain. Taste is bittersweet and sessionable. Finish is a bit bitter. Carbonation is medium and the body is medium-thin. Mouthfeel is creamy. Overall, a nice APA.

Clear deep honeyish-golden-amber color, steady creamy off-white head. Lemony nose with hints of barnyard(!). Light bodied. Fresh grassy hops, pale malty. Dry hopped? Interesting fresh sample.

Bomber from Malt & Vine. Pours clear coppery amber with a slight off-white head. Aroma is floral and citric. Med + body. Flavor is very hoppy - perfumey/floral and citrus over mildly roasted malt. NW twist indeed. On the right coast they’d surely swear it was an IPA.
