Picked up a growler at the brewery and have enjoyed two pints thus far. Aroma is suitably hoppy and the taste is big grapefruit and slight orange pineapple hops with a suitable amount of malts for a Northwest IPA. One finger head which leaves a ring of off white bubbles all the way down. Lacing is good but lessens about the half way mark. Mouthfeel is good with just right carbonation. Fairly sessionable beer at 6.7% abv. Plenty bitter for hopheads. JohnnyJ (1309), Carlsbad, California, USA

But its kind of hollow and has this funky wet sock flavor. Meh... it’s alright. Travlr (727), Washington, Washington DC, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 23, 2008 Bomber. A dark orange copper body is topped with a medium khaki head. The aroma has some rich notes of caramel, amaretto and grapefruit. There is also a little bit of pine goodness. Bitter grapefruit and pine resin dominate the flavor. There is also some biscuit and walnut behind the hops. While big, the mouthfeel is relatively light and it is very drinkable. Theis (3698), Denmark
