Bottle from QFC, Seattle
Hazy golden color with medium sized compact head. The aroma is mildly hoppy. The mouthfeel is lean and dry; not much malt flavor, but decent hopping, a bit resiny and fruity; some toffee and liquorice in the final.
An easy one, midway between APA and IPA.

16 oz can I to a pint glass. Mostly clear light orange amber. Full lasting sandy head. Grassy hop aroma. Pale sweet malts and a fairly papery hop flavor. Decent but lacking the fresh citrusy hop flavors.

16 oz can...so its got that going for it already. Slight haze to the deep golden color with a huge dense pillowy head. Classic west coast hop aroma. Typical inviting IPA trademark. Flavor doesn’t quite keep up though.The malt character is a bit odd. Maybe its the Munich malts, like its trying to be biscuity. Has a stale papery flavor..and mostly just columbus bitterness. Just OK.

Nice looking beer, beautiful creamy head, but aroma and taste are sort of bland, watered down tasting. Finish is just dry, no other lingering flavors in this.

On tap at tk bar after a late night at work. Pours out amber small head. Nose is citrus hops and some sweet malt. Taste is as the nose with a pretty light hop you would think with the name hoppy bitch it would be a nice hopped up ipa. Lacking hops in my opinion.

Bottle @ home, picked up at Aggie Liquor Fort Collins. Pours a fairly clear dark orange appearance with a tan head. Jesus, the aroma is heavy ginger along with a bit of citrus and floral notes. Decent body. A touch sweet, potpourri, ginger, lemon, lavender flavor. I don’t really like ginger beers but I guess this one is ok.

Bottle @ home, picked up at Aggie Liquor Fort Collins. Pours a bit hazy, dark orange appearance with a light tan head. Mango, bubblegum, apricot, a touch spicy aroma. A bit goopy/syrupy. Pretty decent mango flavor with some peach, apricot, and wheat notes. Not as bad as I expected.

16 ounce can - grabbed this to round out a mix-a-six because nothing else looked interesting - pours a cloudy copper with a thick, soapy, well-sustained head - nose is dry, with strong pine hop character, mild citrus, but also a cheese rind quality, as well - flavor is a tiny bit sour and acidic up front, but it smooths out quickly - some toasty grain, bread - light notes of grapefruit pith and orange rind - pepper hops with medium high bitterness in the finish - finish is a little overly acidic - seems like a solid recipe, but may not have translated well into the canned product as it could have.

Bomber labeled as Northwest Brewing Co Mango Weizen. Pours hazy orange with a medium off-white head. Aroma is strong in mango with a little funk. Taste is lightly sweet and tangy with a dry finish. The mango is fairly strong. Body is thin, mouthfeel is creamy, carbonation is soft for style. It’s a good fruit beer made with a less than common fruit. Tastes good.

Draught. Poured very cloudy orange with a thin white head. Citrusy aroma and flavour. Seemed full bodied with a rather thin finish. Tangerine throughout.
