Decent session pale ale. Definitely made in more of an English tradition, this is very malt forward, with the hops folowing ever so slightly in the background with some toffee flavors and a buttery herbal hop note in the finish. Exciting enough on the palate to not be boring, but not assertive enough to completely be a palate killer. Extremely drinkable.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a clear golden orange with a small white head. Aroma of very pleasant floral hops, some resin, and light pale crackery malts quite subdued. Flavour is characterized mostly by the floral hops, with some crackery malt to back - mild astringency on the finish. Very pleasant and refreshing.

22 ounce bottle purchased from LetsPour. Poured an amber color with aromas of floral hops, pale malts, and some light fruit. Flavors are the same with a touch of biscuits coming through.

Light, but floral goppy aroma. Golden-orange in color. Flavor is lightly hoppy though a bit watery. Notes: GABF ’09

Bottle, 11.22.2011 date stamp. Clear amber color with ivory foam. Nice floral, fruity hop, pale malt aromas. medium bodied with soft co2. Lightly sweet honey biscuit flavors with floral hoppage, nice bitter drying finish--PacNW pale classic

22. Pours a cloudy burnished dark amber with a very light and sudsy tan head. Scant drippy lace. Mild caramel and brown bread nose. Creamy medium body with soft carb. Caramel and a little bit of biscuit on the mid palate. Not really very much happening here, other than the cool name and label.

Bomber. Standard American Pale Ale. Malty body with the hops showing up at the end. Mild bitter finish.

(22oz bottle) Pours a burnt orange body with a medium off-white head. Aroma of caramel, toffee, and orange. Flavor of caramel, orange, earth, and grass with a moderately bitter finish.

Deep sunset orange with haze. Large white head of large bubbles. Very carbonated. Aromas of citrus and orange blossom. Slight spring meadow. Nice chewy mouthfeel with yeast present and dry. Strong bitterness throughout the beer.

Piney, citrus hops with a grassiness to it on the nose. Slightly hazy, dark golden color, bordering on copper. A nice shot of grass that finishes dry. Malt is hidden, playing a supporting role in the middle palate. A nice balance of body and carbonation. Good pale - enough flavor for the afficionados but still sessionable.

Sample at GABF. Cloudy amber with biege head. Aroma of malt, toffee and caramel. Tastes of sweet fruit balanced with hops. Very nice.
