Bomber from Made in Oregon. Pours translucent copper with a slight white head. Aroma of citrus with some pretty brown sugary malt. Med body. Flavor is lots of citric hop with some pretty sweet caramel. A hop burn builds. This is not a NW harsh hop thing. It’s a very hoppy, smooth, lightly burning hop thing. Lots of redundancy there, but it’s appropriate. The burn continues to build, and the malt slowly sinks towards the sunset. Finishes pretty balanced surprisingly.

Bomber from Made in Oregon. Pours hazy amber with a slight head. Light sweet malt aroma. Med body. Flavor is malty, but there seems to be a lot of something, hopefully hop, that is keeping it fairly dry. Not very bitter, just that there’s a large lump of flavor that’s not malt. Tho in the finish I’d have to say it’s a tie on dry.

Bottle. Clear amber body. Fizzy, off-white head. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, resin, toasted grain. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet, moderately bitter and lightly tart. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Clean and strange.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown with medium beige head leaving sticky lacing. The aroma is roast and floral hop. Thin mouthfeel with strong roast and chocolate with light bitterness in the finish. Very good.

Super hazy light copper coloured body with a muddy orange and bronze glow and a nice, one centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of earthy english hops, nuts, caramel, raisins, herbal and grassy hops and a hint of light fruits - very nice and strong and plenty of hops. Medium-bodied; Assertive effervescence; Strong malt notes up front with a toasty finish, some apple and pear flavours along with a good light hop note and some pineapple and passionfruit flavours as well. Aftertaste shows a decent complexity with some grassy hops at first, a good malt backbone and a little sweetness at the end from fruits. Overall, a nice and robust beer with plenty of complexity and a good solid malt backbone with some nice hop notes on top. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Brown Jug in Anchorage (Northern Lights Blvd), Alaska on 26-May-2013 for US$5.99 sampled at home in Washington on 25-June-2013.

Bottle - Grain and malts. Clear amber with a foamy white head. Heavy grains mild sweetness. Good Vienna lager, but nothing special.

650 ml bottle. Pours a clear mahogany with very little head. Aromas of biscuits, toast, hay, and malts, Flavors of toast, grass, resin, and burnt sugar. Flavorful for the ABV and style but not my cup of tea.

Bottle - Rich grapefruit, resin and a dark malt background. Clear dark copper with a rich off white head. Dark malts with a candy like sweetness, piney with a hit of bitterness that has a long finish. A little booze and burn in the finish, but otherwise a nice IIPA.

650 ml bottle. Pours a clear copper with full head. Aromas of piney hops, grapefruit, toasted malts and light toffee. Very strong pine flavor with a bit of candy. Quite bitter and acidic. Expecting more based on the nose.
