3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle Hazy orange-amber with big lasting head and sticky lace. Moderate nose friendly hop nose. Flavour has a solid malt base which gives it a bit of a syrupy note to the body. Flavour starts out fairly woody but citrus notes emerge and grow to hang from the trees. Pretty decent if a little heavy.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bomber. Pours a light gold and orange color with substantial foamy white head. Aroma is grapefruit, citrus rind and floral hops with a bit of pine resin. The flavor begins with a strong resiny hops and grapefruit citrus presence with notes of lemon, orange and pine. Also a subtle toasted caramel and malt character but for the most part the hops rule. The body is slightly creamy with moderate carbonation and a final dose of citrusy hops bitterness in the finish. Another quality addition to the PDX IPA scene.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pint on tap at the Portland Craft on Main Street in Vancouver during VCBW 2012. Pours a golden orange color with a 2 finger white head with some decent lacing. Aroma is grapefruit and pale malts. Taste is dominated by grapefruit bitterness with enough of a malty sweet backbone to carry this one off nicely.Generously carbonated with a medium body. A really nicely done brew for the style and very bold.
