3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
From a 22-oz bomber from the Portland Street Market, Klamath Falls, OR, this poured a cloudy rich amber with a foamy off-white head. Nose of floral and citrus hips on top of caramel malts. Medium body and a clean smooth mouthfeel. Flavor is malty with light hop bitterness and a smooth bitter finish. Very drinkable and enjoyable.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle: Lets just say overcarbonated, HUGE fluffy eggshell colored head, extremely vigorous
carbonation, sticky lacing. Oh yeah, deep amber with some blood orange like hues. The carbonation on
this is crazy! Pale hop aroma. Some of that powder pixie stix like artificial sweetener comes to
mind. Real bubbley on the tongue, *burp*. Pale hops, decent malt backing, some of that powder
sweetness. Bottled too early? Hops are minor, no real bitterness to speak of. This almost
seems to me as more Amberish or perhaps a Red. Not bad, super bubbley tho.

Bomber. Not very hoppy but still a tasty pale Ale. A bit on the sweet side. A slight bitter finish that sneaks up on you. Refreshing and smooth drinking.

22 Oz Bomber from Roth’s Vista Market, Salem.
Strange yet appealing appeearance for an Oregon PA.. Dark amber,almist brown and slightly hazy with a light tan quater inch bubbly head.
Very malty, bready aromas, with a tinge of hop in the back.
Nice malty taste too semi-sweet ,hint of cocoa then a pleasing mellow yet very noticable hoppiness underneath..that grows to the end.
Nice and smooth on the palate , easily drinkable stuff.
Overall an unusually "English" Pale Ale for Oregon.
Balanced and drinkable. I liked It.
