Bottle, as McKenzie Hopasaurus Rex. Pours clear amber with a medium off-white head that dissipates fairly quickly leaving a nice residual and good lacing. Aroma is light, buttery with notes of citrus, caramel and pine. Flavor is medium sweet and medium bitter, not really that well defined, smooth and easy to drink but undistinctive. Lingering harsh bitterness gives away the IBU, but the ABV is pretty well masked.

Bottle with the McKenzie label. Pours hazy light copper with a foamy off-white head. First impression was resin aroma, next was non-citrus fruit, then citrus. Full bodied. Almost chewy. Very hoppy with a fair amount of brown sugar background. I’m going with earthy/resin/citrus for hop flavor. It’s pretty smooth - the hop burn is mild, but the hop impact on the mouth continually increases. It finishes very, very hoppy. Nice!

Bomber from PC Market of Choice in Ashland, OR. As McKenzie Brewing St. Bernard Brown. In strong light it pours orange/ruddy brown with a slight tan head. Aroma is roasted malt, nut and a hint of chocolate. Med body. Flavor is roast malt, dry chocolate. Finishes dry and a little bitter. Not bad for a brown.

Sample at the Burlingame brewpub. Hazy copper-gold color with a medium white head that recedes gradually to an outer ring. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of hops, citrus and malt. Medium-bodied with flavors of piney hops, grapefruit and malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a hoppy aftertaste. Decent overall.

Draught. Orange red with medium white head. Coat lacing. Full citrusy aroma. Lekker full body with more hop. Hop finish. Worth looking for.

Draught@Horse Brass Pub, Portland
Dark clear amber color, small steady off-white head, lace. Nutty, flowery, a bit citrusy aroma. Medium-bodied. Sweet fruity-hoppy flavor, pine, pineapple leading to woodish, dry finish. Doesn’t feel 100 IBU beer - easy to drink DIPA. Warming alcohol in the aftertaste.

A golden IPA with a thin white head. Good plentiful c-hops, with resinous notes, pungent and classy. In mouth, a classic California IPA with loads of C-hops, grapefruit, piney character, oily mouthfeel. A good classic example. On tap at brewpub, Jan. 17 2009.

Bottle: Poured a coppery amber color with a off white head. The aroma was hoppy and some citrus to it. The taste was a lovely hoppy tange, this was a nice beer throught with just enough mildness to balance out.
