3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Draft @ 7th St Brewhouse, Redmond, OR. Pours a clear golden color with a small white head. Has a malty hoppy aroma with some hints of citrus. Sweetish malty hoppy bitter flavor with citrus hints. Has a long malty hoppy bitter finish with a long bitter aftertaste.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bomber from Liquid Solutions. Pours a dark gold with a frothy white head. Aromas of floral/citrus/grapefruit over light sweet malt. Full bodied with rather mild crbonation. Lots of floral hop. Grapefruit rind, arguably. Don’t get resin. Finishes nicely bitter. Really good.
2.2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
UPDATED: APR 29, 2009 Bottle.
Appearance: Clear honey amber.
Nose: Hugely phonelic and fusel truffle oil and white wine - caustic and spoiled notes of white zinfandel, difficult to even stand after a few minutes. Something is seriously wrong with this beer.
Body: Mildly buttery, moderately oily.
Flavor: Ethyl alcohol and putrid white zin all over this one... the truffle oil resemblance is uncanny: diesel fuel and astringent buttered olives... terrible, terrible beer.
2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Sampled draught at Cascade Lakes Lodge, Bend
Pale yellow, sticky lacing. Nose of fruity "catty" & orangey hops. Really tickles the nose. Flavor is tangy & bitter with just a hint of malt sweetness. Finishes sharp & dry.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Medium copper color, very large head. Malty and very hoppy. Very flavorful. Smooth taste. Malts are slightly sweet. Hops are flavorful and slightly spicy, in the middle range of hoppyness for an IPA. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is bitter
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle: Vibrant straw, lively carbonation, large pillowy white head, nice lacing. Looks tasty. Pale citrus rind on the nose, subtle hops. A little stale on the tongue, decent malt background, barnish, but the hop aspect is minor. Decent body, fairly sticky mouthfeel. Biting, but almost not in a hoppy sense. Feels more of a Pale than an IPA. Mild sweetness. Quick finish. Tiz okay, but overall a bit too light.

[Draft - Bend, Oregon] A deep golden color thick head IPA. had a fruity aroma with a good amount og hops used. This was a decent IPA had some good flavors it was easy to drink and did not kill your taste buds. Not Bad, needed a tad more hops to be a true NW IPA.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bomber from John’s Market Place. Nose of light citrus hops. Clear urine yellow with a white head. Flavor of bitterness with some grapefruit, and a hint of caramel malt.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: AUG 1, 2011 Hazy golden-orange with a decent head. Lots of sugared grapefruit in the nose. Calm carbonation; smooth texture. Malts were sweet with raw dough notes and a cakey sweetness with caramel accents. Hops were sweet and fruity (orange, pineapple, lemone drops) and flowery (roses). Grapefruit flavors and aromas throughout, though mostly sweet. Some bitterness, but not quite enough to cleave off all the sweetness.
