Bottle @ home, picked up at Boulder Liquor Mart. Pours a golden orange appearance with an off white head. The aroma is pretty piney, lots of spicy hops, mild caramel, toast, and mild citrus. Moderate high bitterness. A little chewy mouth feel. Moderate sweetness. Toasted malt, grass, sweet grain, light citrus. Forgettable.

Draught at the brewery in Hood River
Pale yellow color. Very nice aroma of citrusy pungent fruits. Dry, lemony, pungent, fruity, a bit tropical; the malt is delicate, discreet canvas for the hops.
Excellent.

Bomber from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours light gold with a white head. Aroma is evergreen with spicy citrus? Bit of a nasal burn. Sure isn’t the ABV! Med body. Flavor is spicy/citrus/pine with some hardly roasty caramel. It isn’t noticeably malty. I’d put this in as a session IPA. Flavors aren’t exactly strong, but they certainly make an impression. Finishing well towards dry and hoppy and bitter. Good stuff.

Though it kind of looks like a Blonde ale or maybe even a pale lager, the rest of this is quite flavorful.
I ended up pouring this into a pint glass.
Enjoy by date of 03/2015 with an extra number of 342 (maybe bottle number, I really don’t know).
The appearance was a decent transparent yellow color with barely any head and ends up leaving a stringy spider web lacing roaming all around the glass. Carbonation is seen rising at a moderate pace.
The smell had a sharp citrus to dry pine with a light clinging sharp spritzy sweet vanilla to round out.
The taste is dry and slightly spritzy citrus to pine. There’s no vanilla in the taste, but that’s okay because the aftertaste has a nice dry sticky citrusy effect. There’s a sharp dry finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a decent sessionability on it. The carbonation seemed fairly harsh, but still nothing really off. A decent acceptable dryness rolls across my tongue.
Overall, APA or Blonde Ale, I dunno, but I like it and would have it again.
