3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20Bomber bought at Super 1 in Post Falls, ID. Pours murky orange-brown, making it look more like a seriously unfiltered Belgian ale than an American IPA. Has a medium collapsing off-white head that leaves a ring and skiff of ugly big-bubbly foam. Aroma isn’t all that assertive, but it’s lemon citrusy, caramel malt. Taste is a little worty, chalky; lightly bittersweet. Palate is average for style. Not too impressive. I wonder how old this thing is.

3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at the Harmon Pub and Brewery. Pours a clear copper colored body with a thin, frothy and creamy, off-white head that dissipates slowly and leaves a moderate lacing. Aroma is pines and bitter grapefruits with a lightly sweetened, somewhat bready caramel malt backing. Flavor is similar. Bitter pines and grapefruits with a few floral notes and a smooth, somewhat bready, lightly sweetened caramel malt backing. Finishes dry and moderately bitter with a few resins and a light malt sweetness. Lengthy aftertaste following a medium body and a moderate carbonation. Overall, a decent IPA. Smooth and well hopped with a light caramel sweetness. Nothing special, but enjoyable.
