22oz Bottle pours a reddish amber with a dense creamy light tan head. Nice aroma of piney hops and caramel malts. Flavor is bitter and woody. Papery and woody with pine trees again. Feel is heavy and smooth and softly carbonated. Just OK

Draft - Overwhelmed by caramels and toffee, but not too sweet. Very mild and creamy on the tongue. Mainly lightly toasted malts but not much else. A nice simple beer.

22 oz bomber purchased online at Letspour.com. The pour is a hazed golden orange, with a wisp of an off white head. The aroma is sweet and chewy caramel, tangerine citrus fruit, and a round full dark fruit. The taste is caramel malt, resin, blended with big tangerine bitter hops, and sort of a husky finish. The dark fruits carry the long finish. The palate is medium bodied, a bit of an oily mouth feel, and the lingering bitter dark fruit finish. The big flavors make this feel more alcoholic than it actually is. Nice enough.

Bomber from PC Market of Choice in Ashland. Pours dark ruddy copper with a creamy beige head. Aroma of roast malts with a hint of chocolate. Near med body. Flavor is roast malt, medium dark fruits, mixed hop. It seems pretty balanced on malt vs. bitter. It’s certainly more dry than not. I’m thinking the cousins might recognize this - fairly low ABV, not strongly bitter (to me), but bitter.

Bomber from PC Market of Choice in Ashland, OR. Pours ruddy copper with a creamy/frothy beige head. Aroma is sort of zesty citrus over a nice malt backbone. Med body. Unfortunately I am immediately confronted by a large dose of diacetyl. Butterscotch to some. Renders me unable to figure out what else is in this.

Bomber from PC Market of Choice in Ashland. Pours light copper with a creamy/bubbly white head. Smells a bit of light pitted fruit. Approaching med body. Flavor seems to have significant diacetyl. But there’s various fruit and mildly roasted malt to sort of cover for that. Barring the one problem it’s pretty refreshing. Rerate: With time the diacetyl thing sort of diminished. So I’m adding a point.

Deep amber coloured body with a touch of a copper glow and a thick, three centimetre tall yellowish tan head - very nice looking, slightly darker than most IPAs. Aroma of citrus, pine, flowers, caramel, nuts, earth and a bit of alcohol. Medium-bodied; Assertive malt and caramel flavours at first with a good bitterness then fading to a thinnish, metallic flavour with not much malt, a touch of pine, some earth and a weak, one-dimensional nuttiness. Aftertaste shows this unpleasant bitterness from metal and basementy tastes with a hint of caramel and not much else. Overall, a rather disappointing beer brought back from Oregon, one of my least favourite IPAs, but still worth trying for someone on the East Coast who can’t regularly get this beer. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Belmont Station in Portland, Oregon on 28-February-2012 for US$4.15 sampled at home in Washington on 18-May-2012.

Draught. My Border ancestors drank ale like this. Deep amber red with lasting off white head. Sweet malty aroma. Very full. Full bodied. Malt with some peatiness. Lasting malt finish, with enough hop to keep it honest. Excuse me, friends, I must now go and steal horses.
