Pour is a hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma is some orange but with a large sweetness. Kind of reminds me is a orange jolly rancher. Flavor is more of the orange with a very soft mouth feel. This is pretty darn sweet for an IPA with Vienna malt. I thinking they just used a lots artificial orange sweetener to get the alcohol where they wanted it. Not very hoppy just a sweet orangey mess.

Bottle shared with a co-worker. Poured a clear orange color, though sediment really picked up on this one pretty quickly. Aroma was maltier than I would have expected, but a nice citrus character really comes through on it. Lots of floral hop leaf notes. Light chewy character. Grapefruit zest is nice. This had been in the co-worker’s fridge for almost a year and was still pretty solid - would like to try it fresh.

12oz bottle pours out dark brown topped with a sand head. Nose is roast some light chocolate earthy notes and a solid hop kick. Taste is more of the roast malts light sweetness and a well dosed hop.

Bomber from Safeway in Seaside. Aroma is cherry pie (pits and flesh of the fruit), generic beer, cinnamon. Pours bright copper with an off-white head. Taste is lightly tart cherry, spices. I don’t smell or taste any Belgian influence. How hard is that for a brewer to use a little Belgian yeast in such a Belgian style? That being said, it does taste pretty good.
