Rich deep brown coloured body with a nice thick three centimetre tall tan head and a nice violet coloured glow. Aroma of light malt, nuts, earth and perhaps the slightest bit of vanilla - relatively mild nose, not much going on. Medium-bodied; Strong malt flavour up front with a little brown sugar and pit fruits and a solid vanilla and sweet finish with not much malt at all. Aftertaste is very weak and watery with a touch of malt, some light nuts and a hint of the vanilla and sugars - but not much at all. Overall, not a great offering and even though I wasn’t expecting much, after seeing some of these scores, I thought i’d get a good beer - but it wasn’t to be. Too thin with a mild flavour makes for a decent beer, but not to the ratings that are here. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Made in Oregon in Portland (PDX Airport - Terminal D), Oregon on 08-December-2013 for US$4.95 sampled at home in New Paltz, New York on 18-January-2014.

Draft - Nice citrus notes with a bit of earthiness to mellow. Clearish gold with a good white head. Lots of citrus and tropical fruits. A decent IPA.

Deep amber coloured body with hints of light brown and a thin, fast-dying tan head. Aroma of bitter malt, nuts, earth, toffee and the slightest hint of spices. Medium-bodied; Assertive malts throughout with some cereal and earth noticeable, a bit of caramelised sugars and again, a tiny bit of spice noticeable showing some cinnamon and nutmeg. Aftertaste shows more of the malt and nuts than anything else - some light sweetness and that’s about it. Overall, a pretty standard offering with the maltiness and toffee coming through the most, but the earth and bitterness showing the harshest flavours. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Belmont Station in Portland, Oregon on 11-November-2013 for US$3.49, sampled at home in Washington on 23-December-2013.

Bomber. Pours a clear dark copper color with a medium tan head. A sweet malty nose with some spices. The flavor is more big dry caramel, toast, some fruity hops, light spices, lemon zest, some toffee. Quite hoppy. Very good. Very drinkable. Lots of flavor.

On tap at Belmont Station. Pours a clear golden hue with a large white head. A huge tropical fruit nose, lemons especially. The flavor showcases fruity hops, low bitterness, caramel, orange peel, a bit of melon in this, maybe papaya, very sweet and drinkable. Quite nice. Re-rate: had as Mouth Raper as well. Same score. On tap at Beermongers. Pours a clear yellow/copper color with a medium white head. A nice fruity nose, some citrus and orange peel. The flavor has hop resin, oranges, some zesty lemons and grapefruit, pretty balanced overall though. Drinks like a Pale Ale.

Bomber from Made in Oregon. Pours translucent gold with a slight white head. Light fruit aroma - very light. Med body. Flavor is a little acidic, perhaps citrus, with a wheat note. Clean, but not very interesting. Finishes fairly bitter.

On tap at Orenco Taphouse. Pours a clear copper (brownish) color with a medium white nitro head. A light nutty aroma, some toasted malts and caramel. The flavor is more nutty, some toasted fruity malts, yeast, some sweetness. On nitro so that subdues some flavor. Decent.
