On tap at the brewery. Deep golden amber with an off-white head and lacing. Toasted malted and some bitterness, but another IPA that just doesnβt quite hit that up front fresh hop flavor. Nearly an amber with a 30IBU shot in the arm.

On tap at the brewery. Clear deep golden. Thin wispy off white head. Modest hop bitterness. Some soft fruit and melon notes. I donβt get much grapefruit. Pretty tame and malty. Lacking some of the fresh late hop flavors.

Draft at brewery. This IPA towards the English style, leaning more on the malts than the hops. Mildly sweet, but finishes bitter. Dark golden with soft head, sweet caramel, toffee aroma. Slick slippery feel. Dry bitterness on the finish.

Draft at brewery. Straight up NW IPA. Medium amber body, small bubbly head. Soft hoppy aroma, picks up a bit in the taste. Still pretty smooth, nice hop / malt balance.

Rerate 4/11/20: Bomber from Albertsons. Clear copper pour, foamy head, fades to still. Sweet malty aroma with a light metallic edge, tobacco. Taste is malty, losing some of the sweetness for a dry leathery taste, more tobacco, and light metallic notes. Overall lingering bitterness, 9 volt battery. Prior: 3.5 Draft at the brewery. Dark golden body with small ring of head. Faint aroma fades into a bitter bite, sharp hoppy notes, and lingers on the palate. Bigger and bolder than their Village IPA.

Draft at taproom. Lighter in body and flavor than your normal IPA. Finishes with some nice resinous, oily hop flavors. The palest of the lot, seems kind of bland at first, but has some simmering bitterness that kicks in late and stays with you.
