16 oz can pour. Pours a darker copper color with a loud, sweet malty aroma with some subtle hops. High drinkability, medium body and not too bitter. Nothing stands out completely for me on this beer, but I enjoyed it. Decent pale with a good amount of flavor. For the price-really good.

Bottle from Haggen’s Grocery, Burlington
Golden color, clean, with medium sized head. Mild Ale, smooth and dry, with delicate citrus aroma and piney resins,, correctly bitter.
Clean and enjoyable, but not exciting.

Bottle from Haggen’s Grocery, Burlington
Cloudy golden color with suspiciously large head. Moderate hop aroma, old hops, a bit sweaty, lightly resiny. Dry but smooth mouthfeel; mild malt flavor with some notable quality; strong bitterness, quite resiny; the final is lightly astringent.
Good beer, the hop is not bright; the bottle is not dated. I suspect a refermentation in the bottle changed the flavor.

Draught at Collective on Tap, Woodinville, WA, 5% ABV
Hazy golden color with compact head. Light and elegant brew, with some honey, grass, and delicate hops; it also has a light fruity touch; and everything is blended together with experience.
Very nice.

22 oz bottle pour. Pours a cloudy copper color with a bready malt aroma, with a tiny bit of orange. Sweet malt beer with a nice, mellow hop addition. Really easy drinking session beer with a good amount of flavor going on. Good beer here.

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a chalice.
The appearance was a glossed over slightly orange to ruddy brown color with a one and a half finger white foamy head that dissipated within less than a minute. Lacing was somewhat there and stringy with a weird somewhat spider web pattern to it.
The smell had a light spice (pepper and clove) leading to a semi-sweet Belgian candy sweetness.
The taste was mainly spicy and allowed a slight sweetness to pervade eloquently into the flavor.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium with a fairly decent sessionability about it. The carbonation was there and moderately trying to make an effort to overtake my tongue into submission. Haha, it doesn’t.
Overall, for the most part, not a bad Belgian Strong Ale, I could see myself having this again.

Bottle thanks to Brian - undated. Pours crystal clear orange with a large creamy off-white head that dissipates super slowly leaving excellent lacing. Aroma is hay, grass, peppery pine. Flavor is light sweet, light bitter, grassy, a bit spicy (rye?) with pine and a hint of citrus. Medium light body, lingering bitterness, but not harsh. Interesting take, and not bad at all.

Tap at OBF. Pours translucent dark gold. Aroma suggests honey. Med body. Flavor is light honey and mild evergreen, but it’s balanced. Interesting ale.

Bomber. Okay, first thing--there is something wrong with this beer. When I poured it, slowly even, there was a centimeter of liquid at the bottom of the glass; the rest of the glass was all foam--a giant tan ice-cream-float-like head. Aroma is full of molasses, caramel. After that giant head finally disappears, the liquid greeting my tastebuds is lightly malty sweet, peaty, a touch sour. Carbonation is soft, body medium. Let me re-rate this when I get a normal bottle.

Bomber from Malt & Vine. Pours dark ruddy amber with a creamy off-white/light beige head. Aroma of resin over roasted malt. Med+ body. Flavor is a fair amount of fruit and resin over pretty roasted harsh malt. There’s some floral. For some reason it suggests strawberry hints. There’s a lot in this, but it isn’t super extreme. Just extreme. It really tastes pretty good.
